Pokemon Scarlet and Violet were released quite a few days back, and players have jumped into the game since then to explore the Paldea Region in the game and capture Pokemon to fill their Pokedex. Now, if you have completed your journey and are thinking of trying the game again with a different Starter Pokemon or doing the tasks differently, you have to start a new game and begin your journey from the beginning. This guide will help you know how you can start a new game in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
Restart Game in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet- How to Do?
The Pokemon Series is one of the Nintendo Switch’s most popular exclusive gaming series, and each Pokemon game earns huge popularity. So after completing your Pokemon Scarlet or Pokemon Violet journey for the first time, if you want to play the game one more time differently, the Reset feature is for you. It is expected that during your first journey, you have faced lots of difficulties because the story is unknown; you may have missed a few things, but when you begin the same journey the second time, you can explore the region more easily.
If you want to start a new journey, Check the steps below-
- Close the Game
- Click on System Settings
- On the following menu, scroll until you find Data Management.
- Select Data Management, and scroll through the right-hand side options.
- In the end, you’ll find the ‘Delete Save Data’ option
- Click on it, and an alert will appear.
- Click on ‘Delete Save Data,’ and your saved progress data will disappear.
Now, if you launch the game, it seems you are going to play it for the first time. The game’s progress is linked to your Nintendo account, so you must go to Nintendo’s System Settings to delete the Progress.
There is another option of creating a new Nintendo Profile to start the game. Because each Nintendo Profile can save one Pokemon Scarlet or Violet game file, a second profile will help you play the game for the second time. However, the delete save data option is more straightforward than this. If you don’t want to lose your progress, you can create another profile and start a new game; otherwise, delete the saved files and start a new game.
Additionally, there’s a way to reset some progress during the game by turning off Auto Save. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet provide players with both options- Manual Save and Auto Save. The Auto Save option saves your game from time to time, so if you don’t want to save your game this way so there will be room for reply some portions, you can turn off the Auto Save option: Main Menu> Options> Auto Save> Off. Now, you can save your game manually at points where you want.
That’s all you need to know about how to restart a new game in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
