Pokémon Switch: 10 Ways To Make The Best Pokémon Game Ever

10. Multiple Saves

No conclusive answer has ever been provided by Game Freak as to why the Pokémon games don't allow multiple save files to exist at once.

Speculative musing over the years has suggested that the limited space of handheld hardware is to blame or, alternatively, that Game Freak simply doesn't want to open the games up to potential abuse (multiple legendaries, rare items, etc).

That last one can't be true, there's never been any system in place to stop Pokéfans from transferring their hard earned 'Mons to other systems - in fact, it's now encouraged, thanks to Pokémon Bank - before starting fresh, so what's the downside?

Being able to re-explore the world for a second or third time with an entirely new squad without having to relocate treasured catches would eliminate a lot of the unnecessary micromanaging we've endured for years.

Best of all, it would actively encourage Trainers to engage in fun, fan-made modes like the Nuzlocke Challenge without having to permanently blow up their main saves.

Make it so, Game Freak.
