Next thing you know, we will have companies making 2MB saves. I wonder how big of a save file the actual DS can handle?
biggest savefile right now i believe is 8MB for daigasso band brothers DX(needed for 200 or so songs)
known games with 1MB saves are pokemon platinum(512k reserved for battle recordings), 100 classic books(to download additional books), and gta chinatown wars (no reason found yet)

I don't think it will cause too many problems. maybe make the site go a little slow, but nothing terrible.
and look on the bright side, it may get us some useful new members out of the thousands of noobs that descend.

Pokemon Platinum won't cause nearly as many problems that GTA has. Pokemon Platinum will still generate a decent amount of activity on this forum. The hype for GTA was a lot greater than what Platinum has had so far...(I'm still hyped about Platinum though)

Some people (like me) couldn't care less about GTA:CW. I haven't bothered trying to get it, or finding out anything about it. Although with Pokemon Platinum, i may ask the release date. Thats it. No need for all these young kids to get hyped up about a game...

As long as it has a pokeman on the cover and it isn't a spinoff game, it will cause some problems from a lot of kids signing up and spamming.....

I think that most of the chaos caused by GTA was due to it not working on any flashcart. Pokémon Platinum will surely increase noticeably the amount of users connected at the same time, the number of registrated users that day and, probably, the number of users asking for ROMs... But as long as it works fine, it won't really collapse the site as GTA did.
but as i said before, big chance it won't work normally.
i bet a lot of people lose their save whenever they turn off their DS.

oh i still remember some problems, it was the first game with 1MB save support so a lot of people had to use hacked firmware, and manually edited saves.Joey Ravn said:
although now most flashcarts have pokemon platinum(J) on a special list saying it should use a 1MB save.
It's unlikely that the U version will have any problems since any problems have already been fixed in the J release, and they're probably not going to suddenly start adding anti-piracy measures.
Still... Pokemon is more popular than Zelda. That's reason enough to believe it will cause a considerable amount of, not exactly chaos, but at least floods of Pokemon related topics.

I think you are talking about Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. AFAIK, Platinum did not give any problems. Nevertheless, it was definitely NOT the first game with 1MB saves. Take Daigasso! Band Brothers, for example.
Even though I finished it in Japanese, I am so freaking hyped for this game. And I have four essays due in college next week that I haven't even started yet, meaning I won't have time to play it... Sucky. T.T
