Saving again and again...
 
I don't know if this is only me but after you have saved your game do you sometimes save it again because you have forgotten if you saved the first time and don't want to risk it? For me it happens a lot and sometimes I end up saving the game 2-4 times which shows the quality of my short term memory. I also tend to do this at Pokemon Centers to.

dont feel to bad most the time when i save/ go to save im not paying attention to my game anymore so when i look at it i wonder if i did save or just was thinking about it and then i save again.

When I'm playing a challenge (aka almost always) and update my progress, I usually leave the game on while I update to have a better overview...and save at least 3 different times in the process. In general, I save quite often, just because I've had situations where I turned off the game and hadn't saved for hours before.

Guilty as charged, and I don't really know why I do it. Extra sense of security, I guess? But I do this in most any game I play, not just Pokemon.

mikey January 19th, 2011 11:29 AM

I haven't done this recently, but I have before a lot in the past. I just want to make sure I don't lose my progress because it would suck to find out I didn't.

Bluerang1 January 19th, 2011 11:46 AM

I do that. You can never be too careful.

Sydian January 19th, 2011 12:42 PM

I do it all the time. Sometimes I'm like "did I just save? I'm gunna save again just to make sure..." and yeah. XD;

Haberdasher January 19th, 2011 1:49 PM

I do that sometimes. I also save a lot when it's not really needed. For example, today I basically went Trainer, Pokemon Center, save, rinse and repeat for a while. Those extra saves probably weren't needed.

Demigod January 19th, 2011 2:36 PM

Saving is never too much, unless you do it every 1 min

Amore January 19th, 2011 3:01 PM

Well, yes, I often save twice. At least, I think I do...honestly, my short term memory is so bad it's like I'm impulsive...I'm not, I just forget what I'm doing. I'm like "I saved, right? No, I can't have done. Idiot! Look at the screen while saving!".

The Noob Hacker January 19th, 2011 3:30 PM

Yes I do. This was especially annoying in my Pearl version.

Kirbychu January 19th, 2011 4:33 PM

Yeah, I save all the time. The funny thing is, I still end up losing tons of progress anyways. I think I'm just unlucky. Maybe I only think that I saved. <_>

Christopher January 19th, 2011 4:57 PM

I tend to save it twice especially if I don't see the whole "[Player] Saved the Game" thing

Hoppip January 19th, 2011 5:59 PM

I do that, you can never be to sure.

PlatinumDude January 19th, 2011 7:58 PM

Sometimes I forget that I saved in the first place, so I save again to make sure. I used to save only when I was done playing, but I learned to save often, especially when I have done several important achievements.

NightOfRemorse January 19th, 2011 9:01 PM

All the time! Kinda like you, almost always at Pokémon Centers. I save, forgot I saved, save again, get distracted, save again, and then save again just in case. For some reason, if I don't watch it say, "____ saved the game." and don't hear the ding, I have to resave and watch it do that. Otherwise, I feel like I didn't save. The bad part about that, is that I always get distracted by something while it saves.

Lord_Storm January 20th, 2011 7:59 AM

I used to save up to 5-6 times before I knew I had saved, but now I know because after pressing the Save button on the menu, when you go back on the menu, the cursor will be on the Save button.

Morgnarok January 20th, 2011 9:12 AM

Ya,i have had times that i would save again because i forgot i had saved it or i would have completed a little detail or wanted to add a few minutes of game time so i would save again.

GlitchCity January 20th, 2011 4:36 PM

This happens to me quite a bit. On DPPt you have that long saving process sometimes. Even when that occurs I forget easily that I saved and I have to save again. But the second save doesnt take as long as the first which is good.

Bibliophibian January 20th, 2011 5:13 PM

I have one of the worst memories of all time. ;-;
I end up saving at least 3 times because I can never remember if I did or not. If I don't, I end up turning the game off without saving and losing a bunch of progress (like I did on FF last night. >_>)

champagnepapi January 20th, 2011 10:06 PM

I usually save in somemthing prone to glitch, like a hack or a fangame.
I still tend to play it safe, when playing a legit Pokemon game, as well.
I wouldn't want to lose all those levels I grinded if I drop my DS, or forget whether I saved or not.

Same here. :/
Usually when I'm on here and the DSi at the same time.

fenyx4 February 17th, 2011 4:12 PM

This happens so much... Sometimes I think that when the cursor is on "Save", I just put it there to save, not knowing whether I've saved already. It gets really frustrating at times... I've gotten better at monitoring whether I've saved recently, but Pokemon is the main game where I'm confused as to whether I just saved or not, thus making me incur multiple saves... Multi-tasking makes the whole ordeal even worse.

blue February 17th, 2011 4:31 PM

Yup this happens to me alot, I click save and I look away whilst its saving or do something else then I look back and it's on save again and I'm not sure whether I clicked it so I end up clicking it again, and maybe even again if it happens, so you're not alone!

Rai February 17th, 2011 4:33 PM

I do that all the time. Sometimes I blank out and end up resaving at least three times. But hey, I don't lose any data in the end :D
