Has anyone else encountered the problem where your memory card always corrupts a Pikmin save file? I have an official Nintendo white 1019 memory card, and it works fine for every game I've tried except Pikmin. Whenever I open the game, it "fixes" the corrupt save data, leaving me with two 0-day files and a 1-day file. If I erase any of the files, it is replaced with a 47-day file. All of them start you on a new day, but you are unable to save. This repeats every time I load the game. I want to start speedrunning Pikmin, but I'd like to have save files on which to practice certain days.

This has happened to me. You're going to either get a new battery for the memory card and restart your file or just get a new memory card (much easier I recommend this)

Does the type of memory card matter? Is it linked to the 1019 or is it just a bad battery in this memory card?
