Question about using DS games in more than one DS

[caseyd]

Hey guys. Can someone answer this for me? If my daughter has a DS and then I get one, can I put the games in my own DS and start my own save, or is it specific to the cartridge so that no matter what unit it's in, the same save is still there? She got Picross and I love it. If I get a DS though, I don't want to pop the game in and have it come up with a bunch of stuff already solved. Hopefully that makes sense, and thanks for any info you can provide.

The save goes into the cartridge, not the DS. It's kind of a pain in the ***, I know.

I wonder why games can't at least have a couple of save slots then. That's a pain in the butt. She has some games, like Animal Crossing, etc. that she has a bunch of time in. For me to play it on my own game, it sounds like I would have to buy a 2nd copy. I'm pretty sure Brain Age let us both have saves.
