Don't you think the main Pokemon games should have at least 2 save files by now?

I mean I was just thinking about it and don't know what makes it so impossible for someone else to pick up and play too but not your file. Also, these carts are getting bigger and bigger so I don't see the problem! lol

Comments?

I'm just gonna throw this out there, as I have no evidence to back up my suspicion... but I feel that Nintendo do this in order to maximize sales of the two versions they put out each time. Outrageous claim? Perhaps. But I can't think of any other reason. Would love to know the real answer because I'm sure this has been an issue in many households worldwide.

I would love it. Sometimes you just want to start a new adventure without deleting all your time, progress, and Pokemon. Some of us just don't have the access to trade their valuable Pokemon to safe places.

I'd love this too, but I agree that Nintendo's doing it for money. While you can't connect between the files (so you can't trade or anything) I've seen many a household with more than one Pokemon gamer. In these cases, Nintendo's making double, or sometimes even triple, the money.

And sadly, I never thought about that. lol

I don't because it's a one player game on a personal handheld

If it were on a console then yeah, that's a device that can be used by more then one person and even at the same time

On the handheld it's one per person with everything and I understand about replaying a game but at the same time if you really do try to complete a Pokemon game that's going to run you a ridiculously long period of time.

I would like a way to keep the Pokemon you caught if you wanted to start another game and that's it, I don't see the need for making more then one player on DS games.

I'd be extremely content with that. That's the sole reason I'm so hesitant to start new games.

That'd be a great feature for those with siblings who might accidentally save over your one and only file.

As many people have already speculated, one save equals more sales.

Not really, it helps nintendo continue the whole "two versions" thing. So if you want them all, and a fresh start again you have to buy it again.

I'm ok with this too.

I'm not bashing you at all. But say you have Pokemon Black. You still get the same exclusives you would always get it's just there would finally be two save slots. So in order to get them "all" you would still have to buy White or trade with someone who has it.

I don't see how that defeats the two version thing at all. :)

^Thanks for posting. But I think this discussion should be over. MODS, you can close it whenever you want. :)

I don't really lend out my games so your reason isn't a big concern for me. I want two files because sometimes I want to start a new game without deleting all my hard work. Some people might want a file for their competition and another for just playing and collecting pokemon. But I agree, it should have two files. Especially with the increased data capacity of the cartridges.

[QUOTE="BrunoBRS"]stop for a moment. spend about 10 minutes trying to name everything that the game has to save every time you press "yes" twice. almost 600 pokemon, each one with different names, EVs, stats, ribbons, held items, personality traits and current condition (to name a few characteristics), your whole bag with order and everything, your position, the place in the story, how you sorted the box, who you fought and who you didn't... those are only the ones i could think in a few seconds. i'm pretty sure that's why there can't be two save files. not on the handheld games, where the data storage is limited to the game card. if we were talking consoles...Alpherix
