In [[Generation IV]], the two-step saving process and prompts from [[Generation III]] remain, as does the {{wp|backup}} saved game data feature. In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} and {{game|Platinum}}, the usual <code>Saving...</code> prompt will read <code>Saving a lot of data...</code> if the {{player}} has used the [[Pokémon Storage System]] at all during their session; this includes capturing a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and sending it automatically to a PC box, using a PC directly, and saving when there is no save data present. When this happens, the process will take significantly longer. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the message appears after a GTS trade or if the save data was corrupted and player is saving with a backup savefile. | |||

It is impossible to save. Please refer to the Instruction Booklet for details.</code> The instructions for how to delete saved game data are <code>Press Up + SELECT + B Button on the title screen if you want to erase the current saved game file.</code> and appear both on the first warning message and when the player forces a saving process with saved game data currently stored in {{wp|Random-access memory|RAM}}; however, they are absent from the first warning message in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, probably due to space constraints as the {{wp|Graphical user interface|GUI}} is presented on the touch screen, option buttons included. | ||
