Autosave in Pokémon games isn't a new feature, but things can be pretty frustrating in Legends Z-A due to how the mechanic has been implemented.

Can you turn off autosaves in Pokémon Legends Z-A?
As of writing, there's no known way to turn off the autosave feature. It comes enabled by default, much like previous games in the series. However, you don't get the chance to disable the feature in Legends Z-A. It will always remain active on its own, saving your in-game progression after regular intervals.
I am unsure as to why Gamefreak made this change in Legends ZA. While auto save was present, having the ability to turn it off felt welcome at all times. In fact, it was the popular choice for me and many in the community.
How to use manual save in Pokémon Legends Z-A
You can manually save your game to prevent loss of any in-game progression. Unlike auto saves, manual saves can be created at any given moment (except when you're in the middle of a battle). As long as you can pause the game, you should be able to create a manual save.
To create a manual save, press the X button on your Switch/Switch 2. Then press the R button to save your progress manually. You can then quit the game or close the menu to continue your journey.
