Please have more than one save file!
is anyone else hoping that the new games have atleast 2 save files? that would be so epic in itself.
|
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? |
Yap that's right that's what i always wanted :|
|
I only wish. :/ But I doubt it'll happen.
|
yeah i doubt it too i just wish it would happen V_V
|
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.
|
It would be awesome, but I cant see it happening unfortunately. Nintendo makes there money off people buying multiple copies.
|
That would be cool, but Nintendo wouldn't get as much money than with one save file.
|
And if they did you would be able to get several events!
|
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 |
Why? What about us people with big families? I'd have to share. D:
|
Thats how Nintendo thinks. You will have to buy several games if you dont want to share the file.
|
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?

I would def' want another save file so I could pick and use all the starters without restarting :D |
I've wanted two save files since Generation 2 its about damn time we got some action!
|
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.
|
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. |
Quote:
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. |
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?
|
Quote:
does that help? And a sidenote..like I mentioned in another post Idk how much the DS catridges can hold so more saved files could mean limited capabilities in other aspects (graphics, etc). |
Quote:
i did THINK thats why i posted it, just cuz you go threw the storyline, and end doesnt mean its the end, alot of fans enjoy goin over the storyline multiple times, i am one of them. so maybe you should THINK before you act so rudely. ------------------------ i think they should put 2save files, that way one can have their main file were they collect their pokemon, and everythin and the 2nd could be used simple to play threw the storyline multiple times. not only that, they could always do the "2nd Quest" where you can start over with everythin you already obtained they started that with yugioh world championship after many fans kept askin for it, sure it took them 2years to get the hint, but nintendo isnt completely hopeless. after all theirs multiple games in the zelda franchise that do the "2nd Quest" thing ^_^ the original zelda is 1 of them, majoras mask is another ^_^ |
It won't happen. There's too much in a tiny Pokémon game to hold two (or more O___o) save files, and it'd be too easy to trade from game to game. And anyway, it's a trio of games, so that's three save files right there.
|

Wrong. There was quite a bit leftover space in the 4th gen games. Game Freak could have given us multiple save files in GSC. Quote:
Quote:
There are plenty of collecting games that save multiple save files. Look at the Monster Hunter series, it's avery similar to Pokemon in some aspects.There's a very shallow plot and the game is focused on collecting. This game gives you multiple save files and it doesn't harm it at all. I'm Kirbychu, and I support the multiple save file notion. |
Whoever thinks that having more than one save file on a Pokemon game is a feasible concept is an idiot, to put it lightly. Nintendo want to make as much money as they can from these games, and know that some people are going to buy both so they can collect all the Pokemon.
This is why they have version exclusive Pokemon. They wouldn't make two different versions otherwise. The explanation to the Zelda and Mario games having 2-3 save files is that there is only one versions of the game per 2-3 years. |
Have you noticed that the cartridge is small? All of those pokemon and all of those places, AND the 3D? It is almost impossible, unless you expand the size and the NDS or NDSi.
I dont want another because it has too much responsibility. UNLESS it had black and white on one cartridge. |
Like what Niko said, too much memory, although, it would be useful to have it, then you wouldn't have to worry about buying another cartridge or resetting a good file of yours, but, you could just buy the opposite version of that Generation, and it could be worth it considering they are saying there will be differences between the two games beside version exclusives, ( I think? ) So yeah, just enjoy yourself.
|
I doubt this could happan,even do i would like this happan as much as you.like everyon esles saying,there trying to make money.
|
Yeah. Get the game and a CycloDS, dump it, get the latest version (once it's perfected) and you can have 3 savefiles now! 2 Saves on the CycloDS (because of Normal and Alternative save method) and a save on your real card. I did that with Pearl.
|
I really don't think it's possible though...
So what if you save before catching a legendary, then saved when you captured it, and go back and try for another one? I doubt it. |
That would be far too fantastic and easy for everyone, so they won't consider it.
|
I don't want two or more save files.
A Pokémon game is supposed to be your game with your captured Pokémon, having multiple save-files, characters, and captured Pokémon would ruin the atmosphere in my honest opinion. |
I don't think it's a matter of the size of the cartridge, but that Nintendo would lose sales that way. People wouldn't need to buy two of the games because they would already be basically owning two of the games and so on. 2 save files = 2 games, basically.
And what someone before me said, about the Zelda and Mario having separate save files, it's because there was only one for every couple of years, whereas Pokemon has two-three versions every couple of years. |
What would be the actual in-game benefit of multiple save files? Wouldn't it actually not help at all for collecting, since you still only have one version and you would still need a second game as an intermediary to trade between the two save files (in which case you could just restart the second game after trading the starter in the first five minutes, and get all three starters anyway)?
|
I wish, being able to have 2 files would be an advantage for most people.
But Nintendo wouldn't do this for Pokemon. :U |
This won't happen. It should, but it won't unfortunately. This has been talked about for the last decade, I don't think they will change their minds now.
|
Quote:
yeah I definitely know if I worked for Nintendo I'd never take that idea into consideration. |
Quote:
But yeah it will probably will never happen with any Pokemon games in the future, as convenient as it would be. I hate start new files because I end up being attached to at least a few Pokemon....:/ |
Quote:
Quote:
You guys do realize that the games already have two save files? One is the main one and the other is a back-up file that boots up whenever the main one gets corrupted. Whenever you save, your previous save file becomes the back-up save file. |
Quote:
Anwho~ I understand that Zelda has multiple save files, I usually utilize this and play twice with every game i get. But the difference is with Zelda there is no trading or collecting, so Nintendo doesn't have to worry about anyone abusing the system. 2 save files means 2 legendaries, 2 starters, 2 master balls, and half the money. Again, I apologise for being such a jerk, that's not usually who I am and it won't happen again. |
They want you too badly to buy the other two versions in each trio. D8
Plus, I think it'd be hard onthe memory with all those Pokemon with individual stats, abilities, moves, natures, badges, and with so many boxes. D8 |
Quote:
actually TLoZ sells twice as much as pokemon, so if they did that,it might double their sells, just sayin, they have nothing to lose, people will still buy at least 1of each Duo, and then usually the 3rd game, thats what i end up doin cuz im a sucker for the new region,and cant wit for the 3rd game :P Quote:
im sure if they actually worked on it, and tried theyd be able to make it work, unlike the half-assed emulators for the N64 zelda games they made on gamecube. |
If that was technically possible, I'd love it so much.
|
I would love that, but I will end up buying both games anyways lol
|
I would love for this to happen, but I know well enough that it never will, Nintendo makes enough money off of people who buy more than one copy of the game specifically for this reason, the upside is it gives you a reason to buy all three versions of each generation, or both in the case of remakes like FRLG/HGSS.
|
How would tradng wrk with 2 save files? Wouldn' you be able to trade with yoursef via GTS if there were 2 save files?
|
Game Freak wants you to be able to have your very own adventure. How could you do that with multiple save files?
|
It would be sweet if they did something simmilar, like have something in Wiiware to hold you pokemon save games.
Kind of like Pokemon Box, but made for saved games as well. |
This would be sorta nice because when I want to show a Friend how to play Pokemon I'm always worried they will screw something up with my file. But I don't know if they will or not.
*shrugs shoulders* It'd be nice, but it's not really neccessary. |
That would be great. But i doubt it will happen.
|
Hey Pokemon SS and HG, Held two regions and a nice pokemon list.
I think they can make it. |
they should make use of the SD card in the DSi. That way could have multiple Save files.
|
Quote:
That would be awesome i have so many old ones |
Quote:
SD cards are mad expensive. and the games have alot of memory youd be payin for a new one every time you played the game. thats an easy 20-40$ just to play the game so basically that ****s everyone out of the money they paid for the game, their better off gettin a rom then. |
Not to mention that they can probably fit two or three files on a standard DS cartridge anyways.
|
yes because my parents always want me to "share" with siblings.
|
Getting more than one save file isn't likely to happen due to the fact it take so much data managing one save file. Using two would call for a technology advancement. Futhermore, Nintendo wants you to interact with the community... giving you more than one save file reduces the chances of you getting more people involved. Saying that though... I have two game systems so I can trade back and forth between my 5 DS games.
|
Nintendo suck for just wanting money. I should not have to pay £35 for being able to play my storyline through dozens of times, and then another £35 just to have my Batlle Pokemon. Example; I want to restart my Soul Silver game, I have 29 lvl100's that I don't have the patience to trade, so therefore I would have to buy HeartGold to get another playthrough done. Cheers Nintendo.
|
Multiple saves would've worked in Gen II.
Multiple saves would've worked in Gen III. But multiple saves won't work in Gen IV, V, VI or any high gen. Why? Because we have Wifi - more specifically, the Global Trade Station. Start the game on three different saves, with three different starters, get to the GTS, put them up in one, take them down in another and voila, three starters in one save. |
Quote:
|
they need three so you can have one of each starter, and then they should allow you to trade pokes between files. And they could just make it so that one file can't trade over gts with another file on the same game cartridge
|
heres the simpliest fix, that so bovious,even i overlooked it til a moment ago, and with how technology is, itd happen anyways:
YOU CANT TRADE BETWEEN SAVE FILES. Voila! simple fix, see the genius? you have 1 file to play threw the storyline all you want and you have 1 save file you use for wifi battles, tournaments, & completin the pokedex, and run threw the storyline just the once ^_^ and since you cant trade between them, you still gotta use the community to trade. of course the loop hole is you could just have a friend hold your pokemon,& you trade them over between files lol ^_^ see nintendo has plenty of options, they can do it after all you get 3files for Twilight Princess of legend of Zelda, and that games at least 24times the size of a pokemon game, youd think the Wii couldnt handle somethin like that :P |
Lol, the reason nintendo wont do this, like said, is they expect people to buy another game. This leads to the comsumer to buy the other version. One game is used for the one good save, and the other is used to keep restarting.
Woo 300 posts :D |
Yes, I would want that so much. o3o
|
that's a good idea. but i agree with horizon...
|
i would preffur to have just 1 save file not as much responsability and for 2 u could have to event pokemon of the same event which would mess things up (cheat)
|
that would be amazing more then one save file. the ability to have two would just make me go crazy
|
It sounds like a good idea and it would save me a bit of money but I don't see it happening. Like others have said Nintendo want to make money by selling multiple copies of the games. =\
|
It'd be ok....
.....but then again, removes part of Satoshi Tajiri's original idea, doesn't it? He was partially inspired by the fact that aGameboy could link with another Gameboy so people could swap! |
I DOUBT IT WOULD HAPPEN CAUSE POKEMON ONE GAME CARD CANNOT HOLD TOO MANY FILES....
|
Quote:
|
Using excuses like Mario and LoZ don't work. There's no element of other players in those games; those are strictly one-player games.
Do LoZ or Mario give you special items by going to events? Didn't think so. Do you trade stuff with friends and get extra stuff like that in Mario or LoZ? Didn't think so. Can you connect to Wifi, put something up with one save and then take it down with the next in LoZ or Mario? DIDN'T THINK SO. |
Quote:
IT MAKES MORE MONEY THAN POKEMON we get at least 6mario games between each gen of pokemon, we get at least 2 zelda games between each gen of pokemon and you wanna know wat happens? THEY MAKE MORE MONEY THAN POKEMON Pokemon makes half the money you get from Mario & Zelda, and we know Nintendo only cares bout the money, thats why we have a poor excuse for Zelda like twilight princess, or those lame paper mario games and they make the most money& they have far more in them than pokemon, yet they have several save files....... Pokemon gets 1save file, just cuz it has events? and multiplayer? hell no! its just nintendos lazy streak after workin hard on the zelda& mario games, they sit down& just relax and make pokemon, as a side plan for money. get the idea yet? they only want the money, do you think wed have events if they werent gettin paid for it? hell no. |
Quote:
|
Uhm, I don't see how having one save file is laziness. o.o
And, uh, name the six mario games that we've gotten in the last year, please. Nintendo isn't lazy; having 1 save file might be their idea, y'know? I mean, they bothered to put FREAKING BACKGROUND SOUNDS WHEN YOU WALK NEAR WATER AND FOOTSTEP NOISES AND THE LIKE INTO POKEMON HGSS. I DARE YOU TO CALL THAT LAZY. |
Quote:
nintendo gives good storyline sure, but the lack things to do after basically once you finish story mode you just round up every other pokemon so fun *rolls eyes* once thats complete, your finished. multiple save files would be a way to fix that. or better do like yugioh world championship 2modes: Storyline Mode & Collection Mode you basically can put your pokemon in collection mode after you beat story mode, then your collection is safe& you can play threw story mode again, see easy fix,everyones happy& nintendo still makes their money probably twice as much as they did. |
Yes, uhm, great. Most games have nothing to do after you beat the main story. What're you going to do in Pokemon, just RESTART THE STORY?
Wouldn't that just be...I dunno, boring? |
But people can already transfer their Pokemon to other games via trading/wifi/migration, which covers this "collection mode" thing.
Besides, that isn't really another save file, it's just somewhere to store your Pokemon, which I believe Pokemon Box was pretty much intended for. |
I realize this post is old, but I figured I should reply. Plus, I'm bored. :|

only to you appearantly, cuz you havent even read a single post of half the people here,you like to restart the story, so ya before you say sumtihn,you might wanna read the whole thread Quote:
not to mention not everyone has the money to go by a wii, i sure as hell dont. the Collection Mode, or an extra Save File would give me the chance to not worry bout losin my pokemon, that i worked hard to raise& give me the opportunity to enjoy the storyline more. and id probably end up buyin more of the games then, cuz then itd be worth it, take yugioh world championship: you get 3promo cards in it & you can restart the storyline with everythin you have. 2010 sold 14times the amount of 2009,2008,&2007 all thanx to that single feature that all the fans wanted. to all you who think theyd lose sales over this idea, your wrong, every game i have seen with multiple save files has increased sales dramatically from its predecessors. Quote:
multiple save files wont change the basic of pokemon, just let you play twice as much, let a friend play their own if they dont own it (which would make them buy it) i left no loop hole, ive shown how this would increase their sales ALOT. |
they wont do it . Nintendo wants your money, all of it lol. They want you to buy several copies of essentially the same game. Its called evil coporations :l
|
@Volroc
STOP. You DON'T know what you're taking about, and making yourself look like an idiot. STOP comparing Zelda and Pokemon. They're both Nintendo branded, but Pokemon is made by Gamefreak, a second party developer...they don't adhere to the same standards. WHY are you even bringing up Twilight Princess? Does it have an alternate version on the Wii? NO! They're out to make money. Thus, they create two versions of the same game and later an updated third one. They also include exclusive Pokemon. Many fans buy all three. It's an amazing sales tactic that is working very well, they are not going to stop. And no, Zelda games ABSOLUTELY DO NOT outsell Pokemon games. Stop making up facts. Pokemon is a franchise with every type of product imaginable, its sells are unprecedented. If each Zelda game had only one save file, it's sales would....nearly stay the same! They would not double, that's just stupid. "o all you who think theyd lose sales over this idea, your wrong, every game i have seen with multiple save files has increased sales dramatically from its predecessors? What the hell? No, you are wrong. You are very wrong and you look very ignorant and ridiculous right now. Pokemon is a very unique case, stop comparing it to games with multiple save files. They are purposely not putting on save files. The sales would take a MAJOR hit. Increase? LOL! I have no clue why you are bringing up "laziness" as if that has anything to do with why they aren't including a second save file. Memory isn't an issue, it all comes down to money. There is nothing wrong with that and I don't have an issue with buying two/three games. This is all REALLY obvious, it doesn't even have merit to be discussed. So please stop being a fanboy and refrain from posting until you have any idea what you're talking about. |
Quote:
(owned) anyways its not "made up facts" go research it, its fact. before you open your big mouth& like like a know it all, you should back up your words. (owned twice) and hannah montana cant sing, has a voice deeper than mans, & cant act to save her life (owned 3times) shall i go for a 4th? no, ill be nice :P i lready proved that nintendo only cares for the money, you proved it too, so stow it. |
LOL at your "owned."
I'm named Hannah Montana ironically if you were too thick to tell. OWNED!!111! Second I love you tell me to back up my words without stating a SINGLE fact. Best Selling Zelda games: Ocarina of Time- 7.6 million Twilight Princess- 6.2 million Best Selling Pokemon games: Red and Blue- 21 million Yellow- 9 million Gold and Silver- 15.2 million Ruby and Sapphire- 13 million Fire Red and Leaf Green- 12 million Emerald- 6.32 million Diamond and Pearl- 18 million Heart Gold and Soul Silver- 8.4 million Platinum- 7 million Yeah, nice try. Zelda franchise doesn't earn a fraction of the money Pokemon does. I'm not even taking into account the spin-offs, card series, table top series, book series, anime and the plethora of other Pokemon merchandise. Should I say it? MEGA OWNED! Other than that...yeah; you made EVERYTHING up. And then you just didn't respond to the rest of my post talking about how irrelevant and stupid your comparisons were. I win :). |
Quote:
Also, nobody has proved that Nintendo only cares for money. Yes, they are a business, their primary function is to make money. This does not mean Game Freak (yes, a second-party dev) only care about money. They also likely care about the franchise they have created and raised, perhaps? |
What is it with a lot of people here seeming to assume that more than one save file means more than one version of Pokemon on the same cartridge? It does not! For example - on Pokemon Diamond, two save file would both be save files of Pokemon Diamond, and three save files would again all be Pokemon Diamond files. So even with multiple save files people would still have to buy Pokemon Pearl and Pokemon Crystal as well if they wanted all 3 versions of Generation 4 (IV)!
And - how are you going to trade between save files in the same cartridge anyway - unless they allow you too? Wouldn't you have to buy another cartridge, and trade to there and then trade back to do that? Or maybe with the Wifi capabilities is what you mean, because I have only ever played generations 1, 2 and 3. And of course there is a good reason to have more than one save file - other than even sharing in a large family or for swapping Pokemon around. What if you play one file really far but then you think - "I could have done some things better or with a different strategy and I want to try starting out fresh - but Man I don't want to wipe out all that progress I just did!" then what do you do with just one save file? - you don't have as many options in that case! |
Yes, I agree, PLEEEEAAAASSE more than one save file. That would be so convenient for me. But it just looks like it's not going to happen....*sigh* It would be great, though. I'd love it!
|
most ds games unfortunately don't have this feature but maybe now that a new ds is coming out, 3ds maybe it'll be possible. it would be awesome
|
Quote:
I would love for them to do this though. How it would make things so much easier. *sighs* |
Just to add salt to the wounds, Volroc, Nintendo aren't the ones making Pokémon directly.
Do I smell a word...? That's right. OWNED. My friend, you're getting destroyed by facts. Stop claiming your "proof" that Nintendo is lazy and cares nothing about us, because it's all in your head. I actually have proof to the contrary. Take a look at the new 3DS games list - a remake of Ocarina of Time? A new Kid Icarus game? Seems to me like Nintendo's actually caring, y'know, and remaking the old games everyone used to like, don't you think? Oh, but you can't, you've just been owned beyond rational thinking. Sorry about that. |
Everyone should just chill out...
Anyways back to the topic...I think we should have Karma choices so that 3 savefiles would be good...One for Good, Evil, Neutral and for those who do challenges thats One for Main, Challenge, Karma (Reset) |
I would really, really like there to be. But unfortunately, I doubt there will be that option. As others have said, Nintendo/GameFreak will probably just expect you to buy two games if you want two save files. -.-
Quote:
As for LOL REMAKING GAMES IS LIEK SOOO FOR FANS...it's also a way to cut costs but still sell a ton of games. HG/SS were made so quickly because GameFreak already had the story-line, the characters, the level designs, the Pokémon locations...everything. All they needed to do is update the graphics, copy and paste the Battle Frontier in from Platinum and add the locations of the non-Johto PokéDex. It will be the same with OoT and the countless other games they will remake for the 3DS. Lrn2Capitalist and try again - it's not caring, it's money-saving. :| |
Not to be rude, or anything, but...
Pffft! As if. I though there was gonna be two save files for HG/SS, and I'm wrong. So, I highly doubt there will be for Black/White. This was just my honest opinion. ~LC! |
It would be nice for 2 save files. I hate having to delete my game.
|
It's theoretically possible, and I'd love it to be so, but there's no way it's gonna happen.
|
imo, even if we had two save files, people would whine about not being able to trade between them. :s I think it just makes more sense to have the one and if you want to play it again without losing your old file, buy it again. Might not be the most economical for consumers but Gamefreak/Nintendo already knows it can get away with one save file and forcing people to buy another game to play again if they're attached so... dunno why they'd fix a formula that, for them, isn't really broken. XD;
Anyway, that said, watch your tones, guys. :( There's no need to be condescending in a speculation thread. |
Quote:
Anyways...well, another save file would be nice, but as said one was worked just fine and dandy for them, and somehow another set of two games at once suggests it'll be the same deal as before - one save file because they make money and like getting people to trade and use the wifi system they set up, etc, etc. |
Sadly, it ain't gonna happen. With a system like that it would be too easy for people to abuse getting starters and events, and it would defeat the purpose of making you buy both games to do such anyways. They only ever put a few different save slots on the console games so that 2 or more people can duke it out. That and the game's speed would drop to an abysmal low. It already takes up to 2 minutes to save the game if you move pokemon through your boxes. With 2 slots in a handheld pokemon game you'd better hope your batteries aren't dying.
