Hi - so I'm at the Speranova section of the game. After unlocking the Data power for the holoken I went to my Anispace to find a Data mon to add to my party, only to find that my boxes with all my early-area Animon are straight up MISSING. My box starts with Animon I caught in Area 25 (fairly recent to the part of the story I'm at). There is no trace of any of the earlier Animon I caught in the game - nothing in Boxes 2-30, never traded them or released them. Anyone know what's going on??

I was hunting in Area 25 (snowy region in the north) and I have a Lost Animon but it's on the OTHER side of the walkway in the Northwest part of the map that doesn't let you walk across (OF COURSE!). Can someone tell me how to change the direction of this pathway? Do Lost Animon go away if you go to another part of the map? Please advise!
