@gearholder don’t we have circumstantial auto-savin? I mean we don’t have it before stuff like legendaries, but it happens automatically after beating the champion doesn’t it?

That is critical auto-saving, since the game requires it to operate accordingly.

Circumstantial would be an optional setting that you can turn on and off and happens right before a gym battle or legendary encounter. Something in a Pre-Boss-Battle fashion, so it would be more of a checkpoint really.
