I read everything up to the post I replied to.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but can you not already capture a legendary pokemon, trade it to a friend or a separate console with an extra copy you own, reset your save file and do it again, amassing multiple legendaries (trading them back once you're done)?

That wouldn't really change much with multiple savefiles, with the exception that you no longer have to reset your save file to do it, you create a new one. The amount of time you spent will be the same, because in each of the new savefiles, you still have to reach the point where you can capture the legendaries.

Even if there were some complications with allowing multiple savefiles, it likely wouldn't be that hard to patch easy exploits.

You didn't read the whole conversation then because if you did you'd see he was asking a question as he doesn't follow the games, if you have another save file you'd have a main save file ready to go for when you trade the monsters back so if you got to Mewtwo on both files you can immediately have 2 Mewtwos off the bat in 2 playthroughs where as the one save forces an additional playthrough to make it more tedious. You'd make it easier with an additional save to farm.

But you'd still have to reach Mewtwo in two different playthroughs, even with multiple save files, so you have two play through ecaxtly as much of the game... (BTW I'm not suggesting you can reload an older save, just something like Guacamelee where you can have simultaneous playthroughs, because you have several slots).

Without multiple saves - you have to reach Mewtwo once, trade it to a friend, reset and do it again.

With multiple save files, you have to reach Mewtwo once, trade it to a friend, create a new file, and do it again. Both take the same amount of time, so it's just as tedious and thus still deters farming.
