Three questions:
1. What makes you think I'm a troll?
2. Why would you think my kid isn't into other things?
3. How could you assume so many things from my post?
I feel sorry for your kids since they must be constantly programmed into activities that aren't much fun.
Thanks to the folks who tired to answer my question.

DD was playing a very docile game working hard to care for a puppy and saving every point to buy a cat who met his virtual end this afternoon. It was akin to that same six year old saving pennies to buy a stuffed animal that then gets left behind on the bus. She was sad.
To all you holier than thou types! I actually got her out of the funk when I presented her with all of the books from her favorite series that just came in from our scholastic order. She'll be reading most of the weekend.
To all you folks who are going to ask their kids, thank you. We have a call in to our 11 year old nephew too.
I did pull out the manual and it does appear you can save. We just learned it the hard way. Plus since dd didn't figure it out, I'll have to play a few rounds and figure it out. That isn't high on my list of priorities.
Please be a troll. Good grief. Get a life.

The save capability varies by game. There is not a button on the DS itself, it should be part of the game menu.
As far as the video game debate, not all kids are obsessed with electronic games. We have a DS and a Wii and my daughter plays with them about once a month. She prefers it when we play together. We don't make any attempt to limit because it is not necessary. Frustration comes with learning any new challenging thing. It's not unique to video games.
