We get it, Pokerogue can be really addictive and you don’t want to get up before you are done with a few runs. You picked the game up and now can’t get enough of the roguelike experience. That being said if you are new to the game and wondering about the save mechanic and how you can save the game manually, keep reading this article till the end!
Your progress is precious, and every captured Pokemon, every battle won, and every step taken is a milestone in your journey. So, you need to know how to save your game to never lose your hard-earned progress. Most games offer a manual save system, and it only makes sense to expect the same from Pokerogue, right? Well, let’s get right into the details.
How to save in Pokerogue?
Coming straight to the point, to save your game in Pokerogue, press the “M” key to open the menu. Within the menu, select the “Save and Quit” option to save your progress. This feature allows you to pick up where you left off, even on a different device or browser, as long as you are logged into the same account. If you are unable to find this option, ensure you are playing on the official website, as spoof sites may lack proper functionality.
Save Scumming
Before the implementation of the straightforward saving system we discussed earlier, some players widely used save-scumming as a way to save their game and experiment with different tactics without the risk of losing progress. So what is it? Well, Save scumming in Pokerogue is a method where you exploit the game’s mechanics to retry battles and optimize strategies. This involves refreshing the game (by pressing F5) or navigating through the menu to reset a battle. Here’s how it works in detail:
- Refreshing the Game: By pressing F5, you refresh the entire game webpage. This essentially resets the game to the state it was in before the battle started. The RNG (random number generator) rolls the same each time, allowing you to try different strategies and tactics without any permanent consequences.
- Using the Menu: Alternatively, you can press the “M” key to bring up the menu, then select “Return to Title”. When you do this, you will receive a prompt saying, “You won’t have any saved progress since the start of battle.” Click “Yes,” and the game will reset to the state it was in before the battle began. This method also preserves the RNG rolls, allowing you to try different approaches to the battle until you find a successful strategy.
While saving and quitting from the menu itself is what we recommend, this save-scumming technique might come in handy if the save option from the menu fails to work. And not just that! By repeatedly resetting and trying different strategies, you can find the most effective way to win, which is likely what you were trying to achieve with manual saving in the first place. So, give this a shot and see if it helps in situations where you might have made a mistake, like selecting the wrong move or underestimating an opponent’s strength in Pokerogue!
