Don’t use that. The Switch is weirdly particular on what it uses.

Big rumor floating around right now pertaining to Pkmn Sword and Shield is that it’s going to be the first game mainline Pokémon game with auto save. Unclear if it can be disabled if the rumor is true.
If this is true that’s pretty much the death knell. Especially to those in the competitive community and official tournament circuit

Why is auto save bad? I’ve never played a Pokemon game.
@chadouken
The tl;dr of it is on the story side: it kills opportunities to re-catch legendary or event Pokémon (see: one of a kind) if you accidentally knocked them out or ran out of pokeballs to catch them the first time.
On the competitive end: it fucks up training your Pokémon for competitive tournaments to the point where it’s basically impossible.
So like, if someone completes a certain part of the game and gets awarded a pokemon with less-than-desirable stats, the auto save function would prevent them from replaying that part of the game and rerolling the RNG?
Correct.

Yeah, that would suck balls.

Depends on how quick the auto save is. If I can close the app before the auto save goes off then no big deal.

That’s a risk no player should be willing to take. There should be an option to opt out.

Knowing how the flow of Pokémon has gone more-or-less unchanged for over 20 years. It would likely be fairly frequently and with little to no warning.
Everyone basing the rumor off this one image on Redit.
So far without context it’s meaningless.
Also this is not the first Pokemon game with forced Auto Saves. Previous titles autosave before trading pokemon or similar online events.
Based on this video here, https://youtu.be/sx06810AI-o?t=45
It looks like it autosave as you walk in the store to change your character’s Outfit.
A good time to back up a save, case something goes wrong it’s easy to revert back without losing progress.
I do not think this is an all the time feature.

Gd Astral Chain’s setting and style is amazing. I chose the male char so I can hear the female talk. I’m on File 03 and loving the game so far, but at the same time I can’t help but wonder what if this game was an open world game. I’ll finish the game first and see if I still feel that way about being open world.
I hope to see a movie or anime series out of this. Also waiting for some Akira figurines.

Open world could be cool but I think with how investigating works currently it would be a problem. Maybe a sequel tho? It would be cool cool to go a little Spiderman/Batman with it and have random crimes happening that you gotta police down for extra score/cash/points whatever.

I get what @purbeast was saying about anime. Its mostly the big eyes and super Japanese style of art. I respect it as a style but its just not for me.
This Astral Chain game for example. It looks great and i kinda want to play it but the super Japanese wierd stuff is stopping me from paying full price because i dunno if im down to deal with it all the way thru if it turns out to be too much.
I think of sf or dmc characters as anime lite. Much more palatable for me personally
Well maybe you could expound for the rest of us as what you just described also sounds like a Disney movie. Big eyes are a style technique lifted by Japanese artists directly from Disney’s style.

That makes sense. Its like Disney characters but way over stylized. Where Disney keeps things simple.
So the style im thinking of is stuff like GG, or Blazblu. Games with large amounts of schoolgirls or dudes in buisness suits who didn’t know there was a fight.
Anime-lite would be sf, dmc, or dbz. They still follow a lot of the anime tropes, but the designs are more western.
He specifically mentioned DBZ as part of the anime style he hates…

What’s Western about DBZ? That full blown anime.
