So i've had that issue twice now. First with Shiny Ho-Oh in Soulsilver and now Giratina in Platinum. I was trying to shiny hunt them and got it after numerous of resets, though as soon as I get the shiny, my game decides to save with 0kb. I've made a save state just like 30mins before the encounter without any problems, though as soon as I got the shiny, saves weren't possible to be created. Obviously I am really pissed now and am asking for a solution cuz I really don't know how I am supposed to do these hunts in the future, if this error keeps occuring.

So i've just caught my shiny Ho-Oh just to realise that for some reason if I save, my savefile is empty so zero bytes. Now since i've saved already, i've overwritten my previous savefile and I would have to load a save like a week old, where I didn't have shiny Ho-Oh yet. Savestates don't work either so yeah Idk what to do cuz if I close the game, my save is gone.
