    Hey, I've just had a thought rattling around in my head, wondering about implementing a Save Station Feature in a Fan Game. However, I don't just want to strip away the option to save your game whenever, especially since people have lives. I started thinking about the idea of implementing Quicksaves like in Pokemon Myserty Dungeon where it saves your game and then would close the game right after, making a temporary save which has it's data deleted afterwards, leaving the last Main Save Point as the bigger save for the game (if that makes sense).

    I've tried looking into the Save and Load data of Pokemon Essentials and my question I'm wondering is: Is it possible to have 2 Save Files, one is the Main Save File and the other is the Quicksave File. Save Points would save to File 1 (Main Save) and Quicksave saves for File 2 (Quicksave). When Quicksave is selected it saves and puts the player back to the Title Screen, and puts Save File 2 as the first option the player is presented with, then when Save File 2 is selected it would flip some switch or something to put Save File 1 back as the default until Quicksave is selected again, and also wipe all the previous data.

    I know that sounds utterly confusing and probably doesn't make sense at all. I'm just curious if something like that is possible and if anyone knows how to do something like that.
