5th Gen Please have more than one save file!

[Chaos Feraligatr]

is anyone else hoping that the new games have atleast 2 save files? that would be so epic in itself.

 

[LethalTexture]

Not likely, unfortunately. If you want more than one save, Nintendo expect you to buy more than one copy of the game.

I'm so cynical, aren't I?

 

[Ger Japa]

Yap that's right that's what i always wanted :|

 

[Neiko Star]

I only wish. :/ But I doubt it'll happen.

 

[Chaos Feraligatr]

yeah i doubt it too i just wish it would happen V_V

 

[Hibaru]

True! I want that too! And If it does, when the times come for me to buy both Black and White, I guess It'll be more easier for me to trade over the starters to each game. So I get the three starters.

 

[Porygon-Z]

It would be awesome, but I cant see it happening unfortunately. Nintendo makes there money off people buying multiple copies.

 

[MarstheCar]

That would be cool, but Nintendo wouldn't get as much money than with one save file.

 

[Sora's Nobody]

And if they did you would be able to get several events!

 

[Kon~]

It would be too easy to abuse the game for starters and such, and anyway, Nintendo wants your money - why have two save files when you can have two games?

Anyway, I like having only one save file. :D
Not as much responsibility, you see. :D

 

[jigglyppuff8]

Why? What about us people with big families? I'd have to share. D:

 

[MartinJF]

Thats how Nintendo thinks. You will have to buy several games if you dont want to share the file.

 

[PiPVoda]

Please don't, imo. More saved files could translate into limited capabilities for the games (since the DS cartridge can only hold so much as of now). I'm happy with the one saved file, and it's like a staple of pokemon. yes having more than one saved file would be awesome, though in a way it could defeat the purpose of trading pkmn, etc. Like why trade for a Tsutaja when you could just start a new file and get one?

then explain the legend of zelda, every game has 2-3 bdifferent save files.

^ This :D

I would def' want another save file so I could pick and use all the starters without restarting :D

 

[DXrobots]

I've wanted two save files since Generation 2 its about damn time we got some action!

 

[pokemongarnet]

I used to want it but then i noticed it'd be an easy way for pepole to cheat i.e. more than one legendarie etc.

 

[BleuVII]

I have wanted this since the original R/B, but I really highly doubt it will happen. Each cartridge is supposed to be YOUR cartridge, and nobody else's. As people have said, it is to make sure you get only one event pokemon or legendary.

Personally, I use a game save backup device like Action Replay, though to be honest I haven't started any new games. Pokemon is so slow that I only want to play the main story once per game.

Hahahah, please THINK before posting.
When playinjg Zelda, you just go through the story and have a great time and you're done.
When playing pokemon, you trade, collect pokemon, and items, and every time you play its a different experience. They're two completely different games.

And PipVoda is right. Having a second save file would only mean half the experience of a usual pokemon game.

 

[Bluerang1]

Not gonna happen. It takes the fun out of... actually, it doesn't harm trading. You can't trade in one Game Card... I don't see why they don't do this?
