And as the Pokémon universe expands and introduces new Pokémon and characters, you would expect the developers to allow players to have multiple saves by now, unlike the singular save slot from Pokémon Sword and Shield. Can you have multiple save files in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet? Here is all you need to know.

Can you have multiple save files in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet?

Having only one save slot means you’re locked in whatever path you choose to take, and once you save the game, you can’t revert it—unless you want to start the game all over again. Unfortunately, like its predecessors, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet still does not allow multiple save files.

Players can only have a single save file in the game. However, you can still have more than one profile on your Nintendo Switch. So, if you can’t have more than one save file, you can create another profile that’s not your main game profile and enjoy Pokémon Scarlet and Violet as you wish.

Apart from being able to create another profile, there’s no way of having multiple save files in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. And while it’s definitely frustrating that the one save tradition in Pokémon games remains unchanged, we do hope the game’s developers will allow players to have multiple save files in the next generation.

That’s just about all you need to know on whether Pokémon Scarlet and Violet allows players to have multiple save files, which it doesn’t. We hope you’ve found this brief guide helpful and do have a lovely time exploring the beautiful world of Paldea.
