>>56127951>Writing just 1 Pokemon is just asking for very easy exploits.Which is what these games are plagued with already. I'm not proposing a whole rewrite of the code here, I came in seeing something that could clearly be improved and am throwing out ideas when demanded, if you want to theorycraft this whole thing for an hour then be my guest.
>If at all. I don't think you really get just how new saving in games was around that time.An example would be Link's Awakening. That game has to save at least map data, inventory, player stats and some other miscellaneous variables and as far as I can tell it saves instantly upon pressing the button.
>And any info used in the battle, along with overworld changes, and the player inventory.Not in this case, I don't think. Gen 2 might still retain captured Pokémon HP and statuses from the battle which would add data, but later gens stop doing that which would free up data if we just did that here. Things like gender and shiny status are determined by DVs in Gen 2, so it would be fairly compact.
