Except, as I just pointed out earlier, unlike Konami, Pokemon has a perfectly valid reason for only allowing 1 save slot: so you can't farm unlimited one-time capture Pokemon and trade them to yourself via a third party. Ergo, it's a way to stop cheaters from having 6 lv 100 Mewtwos on their squad.

What's Konami's excuse for locking additional saves behind a paywall? Oh, right, greed.

What exactely prevents them from giving you a second save file so you can just start the game over instead of having to delete your old file?

I mean they can prevent you from cheating like you said by just not allowing to save on another file or am I not thinking enough?

You should still be able to start a new game with a new savefile and only be able to save on that one.

So if my thoughts are right then this is a laughable excuse.

Correct me if I am wrong...

You transfer Pokemon in the games through the trading feature, each save file generates 1 of each of the game's Legendarys and Rares so having two files would have people using the second to farm Legendarys and Rares through the trading system. This would lead to people having unbeatable teams made up entirely of Pokémon you're only meant to have one of and would break competitive play for many players.

It's not about where you save it's about the one of a kind Pokémon each playthrough would generate.
