How to Sign In to Your Cygames ID from the Menu
Important Information
• Each Cygames ID can only be linked to a single Trainer ID.
• When signing in to your Cygames ID, if you select a third-party account or email address that is not currently associated with a Cygames ID, a new Cygames ID will be created. If you would like to use multiple third-party accounts with the same Cygames ID, please link those accounts to your Cygames ID first from the Cygames ID website.
Please note that once you have linked a Cygames ID, linking a different Cygames ID will cause data to be overwritten.
■ Example of Data Overwriting
1. A player links their game data to Cygames ID A which was created using Third-Party Account A.
2. The player then signs into Cygames ID using Third-Party Account B, which has not previously been used with Cygames ID. This causes Cygames ID B to be created.
3. The player then continues to link their game data to Cygames ID B, causing the existing link with Cygames ID A to be overwritten.
After completing Step 3, it will only be possible to use this game data and associated services using Cygames ID B.
If, before performing Step 2, the player first signs in to the Cygames ID website using Cygames ID A and registers Third-Party Account B to this ID, no new Cygames ID will be created and it will be possible to continue using Cygames ID A with this account.
When linking an account, please be careful to check that it is associated with the correct Cygames ID.
• Please note that if you link your game data to a new device on a different platform, paid carats purchased on the previous platform will not be available for use on the new platform. (Paid carats purchased from the Cygames WebStore will remain available on all linked devices regardless of platform.)
• After purchasing in-game items from the Cygames WebStore, they will become available in game when one of the following actions is performed:
1. Opening the Scout screen
2. Attempting to perform a scout
3. Opening the Home screen from the title screen
In each of these cases, a dialog box will appear to confirm that your purchase has been reflected.
• Cygames WebStore purchases are available only after you have completed the in-game tutorial and confirmed your year and month of birth. (If you have not confirmed your year and month of birth, you can do so by pressing the "+" button next to your carat total on the Home screen, or by selecting the Purchase Carats option from the menu.)
