关键不兼容警告
⚠️ 无法独立运行游戏
Switch 1无法独立启动《Pokémon Pokopia》。即使购买了游戏卡带或数字版，也必须通过Switch 2玩家的GameShare邀请才能进入游戏。
⚠️ 所有Progress无法保存
在访客模式下，Switch 1玩家捕获的Pokémon、收集的道具、完成的任务等所有Progress在退出游戏后将全部清空，无法保留到本地。
⚠️ 强制要求NSO会员
Switch 1玩家必须订阅Nintendo Switch Online会员服务才能使用GameShare功能，而Switch 2玩家仅在在线联机时需要NSO。
⚠️ 性能严重下降
由于硬件限制，Switch 1运行游戏时会出现明显的帧率下降、画质降级、加载Time延长等问题，游戏体验远不如Switch 2。
⚠️ 依赖主机在线
Switch 1玩家的游戏体验完全依赖于Switch 2主机玩家的在线状态。如果主机玩家离线或退出游戏，访客将被强制断开连接。
购买建议
如果您想Complete体验《Pokémon Pokopia》，必须购买Nintendo Switch 2主机。
Switch 1的GameShare功能仅适合：
- 想要试玩游戏的玩家
- 偶尔与朋友联机的玩家
- 不在意Progress保存的休闲玩家
⚠️ 不推荐仅依赖Switch 1进行游戏
Common问题解答
Q: 我可以在Switch 1上购买并下载游戏吗？
A: 不可以。《Pokémon Pokopia》在eShop中仅对Switch 2用户可见。Switch 1用户无法购买或下载该游戏。
Q: 如果我有Switch 1的实体卡带，能玩吗？
A: 不能。游戏卡带采用Switch 2专用格式，Switch 1的卡槽无法读取。即使强行插入也不会被识别。
Q: GameShare模式下我能做什么？
A: 您可以在访客专属区域探索、与主机玩家互动、参与小游戏和临时活动。但无法推进主线剧情、捕获传说Pokémon或保存任何Progress。
Q: 访客模式有Time限制吗？
A: 单次游戏会话没有Time限制，但您必须保持与Switch 2主机的连接。如果主机玩家离线或退出游戏，您将被强制断开。
Q: 我需要购买游戏才能使用GameShare吗？
A: 不需要。只要Switch 2主机玩家拥有游戏并发送邀请，您就可以作为访客加入，无需自己购买游戏。但您需要有效的NSO会员订阅。
Q: 未来会支持Switch 1Complete运行吗？
A: 根据官方声明，《Pokémon Pokopia》是为Switch 2硬件专门优化的游戏，由于技术限制，不会推出Switch 1的Complete版本。GameShare是唯一的兼容方式。
