I looked into this issue. I think emulators have the same issue. From my understanding, this game saves when the power button is pressed. You can try it out by pressing the pokemon mini power button. The solution is to either have the core power down the pokemon mini whenever a new rom is loaded or the core is exited, or you'll have to push the power button manually.

Oh, thank you so much! If anybody wonders what the “power button” is when running this core on Analogue Pocket, it’s the select button. Quit out by pressing select before pressing the Analogue menu button, and then saving works perfectly.
