Why don't many modern games have save slots?

One of my favorite things about Pokemon is that there's only one save slot. I'll never understand the urge to replay a game like that.

Then again, I think trophy hunting it stupid too.

How can that really be something you like? If it had more than one but you only wanted to use one then you wouldn't really even notice that there were more. More options is never a bad thing, don't like the options? Well no one is forcing you to use them.

Anybody who grew up with siblings and had to share games with them would have killed for multiple save slots in Pokemon. I'll never understand why people think having only one save slot for a single playthrough at a time is ever a good thing.
