Find out whether you can turn off autosave in Pokemon Legends Z-A to preserve your items and encounters like earlier mainline titles.
Pokemon games mostly have a good amount of customizability when it comes to the in-game settings. You have options to change the text size, speed, or even some of the world elements. However, one of the most important settings for every trainer is the autosave feature. In most cases, trainers turn this off during the end-game stages, especially during Shiny hunting. To that extent, you might wonder if you will be able to turn off autosave in Pokemon Legends Z-A.
You will not be able to turn off autosave in Pokemon Legends Z-A, according to the leaks available. The leak, shared by Centro LEAKS on X show an image with no autosave option, meaning that it is permanently enabled in the game. In this article, we will dive into more details about the autosave feature and how its absence might affect Legends Z-A.
Does Pokemon Legends Z-A Have Autosave Feature?
Ok this is a big change and will be controversial:

No, Pokemon Legends Z-A does not have the autosave feature. Centro LEAKS posted an image of the settings screen, and it only had the following options under Gameplay:
- Controller Rumble
- Text Speed
- Minimap Rotation
The autosave feature is simply not there for you to tinker with in this legends title. Essentially, this means that the game will enforce the autosave feature where it automatically saves your progress after every major milestone or battle.

How Does Lack Of Autosave Affect Pokemon Legends Z-A?
No autosave means you will have to be extra aware of your surroundings, especially while hunting for Shinies in Pokemon Legends Z-A. In earlier games like Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, trainers would often turn autosave off and then set off for Shiny hunts. Once a Shiny Pokemon was spotted, a manual save was done to preserve that encounter. Manual save instead of autosave was also a great way to get back any Herba Mystica in case no Shiny Pokemon spawned.
Currently, it is unknown whether Shiny hunting in Pokemon Legends Z-A will use any special ingredient or items. In case such a system does not exist, the lack of autosave will not affect the gameplay of Legends Z-A in any manner.
