Solved Multiple Files

[Tim Dargan]

Hey I was just wondering... is it possible to have more than 1 save file on Pokemon3D because I see a "Load file" option with more than 1 slot but when I save it doesn't save to a particular file it just saves and I don't want to risk losing what I have so could you let me know? Thanks!

Yeah you don't need to worry. Multiple saves work fine! You can't accidentally save over other saves. Each new save you create is like it's own Game Boy Cartridge.

so basically I don't have to worry - I just start a new file and when I save it it makes a new file that I can load on the home page?

Yep, so long as you use the Save feature in the menu. The autosave WILL overwrite without warning, but I believe that was for accidental quiting, rather than as a replacement save.

2 more questions: How many files can you have? and the "continue" just takes you back to the last file you were on, right?

Continue takes you to the autosave, which nine times out of ten will be your last save anyway. But I always choose Load Game, just to be safe. Also I'm not sure on the number of saves you can have. I only have three at the moment, and they work fine.

huh - well anyways thanks for the info! Now I can have 1 of each Starter!

I have seven saves right now
you can have as many saves as hard drive space
and each can have the same name
the game will just but a number at the end of the folder
