^ that plus if saves data is limited if we had more saves which would mean less data for the game to use. e.g. the number of boxes which we store pokemon in will be less


Wrong, the save memory and the game memory are two different memories.
Save memory is small and flasheable, a EEPROM memory, while the game is a ROM memory(flasheable only once, in factory) with 1 to 8 GB avaiable.

"The first Pokémon Game Show, which will be an exhibition-show style event, will be available to the public for free and is being held at the Tokyo Big Sight exhibition center. The event will be held on Aug. 17 and 18, 2013.
This exhibition show will be the first event to feature demos of Pokémon X and Y. The event is open to the public and free admission on a first come first serve basis.
The show will also have areas set up for players wanting to play the trading card game as well as Pokémon Tretta, an arcade-style game using special tiles called Trettas."
Oh my God I need this demo!

Because if we only have one savegame... we are possibly forced to trade. or buy the other version. or find weird ways to keep the pokemon from the present save, while restarting to farm for more legendaries..

The Pokemon save files already take up more space than most DS games. If they want to include multiple save files they would have to upgrade the save storage in the game cart, which costs them monies. This would be easily possible if save data were stored on the SD card though, but that probably won't happen because it would be somewhat odd for a handheld.

Since I didn't see this here: http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2013/06/the_pokemon_company_lays_down_the_law_on_cheaters

The Pokémon Company has recently issued a statement on the matter - helpfully translated on NeoGAF - deterring hackers by saying these illicit methods can harm the saved game on the cartridge and should anyone be found using what it calls an "illegal Pokémon" at a tournament they will automatically be disqualified and will not be able to compete in any future events.
It says nothing of normal online battles, though, which is unfortunate. If only they did the same thing there.

It's a step though, maybe in the gen after this they'll enforce it for normal online.
It's possible that they could do it for this gen. They could maybe find a way to make checks be server-based, and each time you try to do an online battle, it does a quick scan, looking for irregularities and whatnot. If you miss the check, you can't play. And if you keep missing checks, you're banned temporarily, and if you continue, permanently. Or iuno, that's just my idea~

I doubt they'll go any further than banning hacked Pokemon in tournaments, everything they are saying has been said every generation. But Just in case make sure your Pokesav'd Pokemon have legit stats, movesets, items, etc. This is what Serebii is for, there's no excuse.

"TV Tokyo has announced that the new Pokemon X and Y anime will debut in Japan on October 17th. It will begin in the Kalos region's Lumiose City. Ash and Pikachu will of course return, and as always, Ash will be sporting new attire. Iris and Cilan are not pictured, and since they're both Unova Gym Leaders, they probably won't have much marketing use for this next generation (Brock and Misty were always around because each generation up until this one featured Kanto either directly or indirectly through a remake)."

    I could also yank out the rest of my teeth but theirs professionals for that
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    If your throat closes, putting oxygen in your mouth will not solve anything - as you will be introducing oxygen prior to the area of obstruction
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Just kiss me Kyle.
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    You either need to be intubated to bypass obstruction or create a stoma inferior to the the area of obstruction to survive
