I have a tendency to save before and after virtually every action, especially in Pokemon games. Catch a Pokemon? Save. Level up? Save. About to face a trainer? Save. Beat a trainer? Save. Take a step? Save. And of course if I didn't see the "Saved the game" text I have to save again just to be sure. I think in a typical Pokemon playthrough I spend almost as much time saving the game as I do playing it.
