Pokemon Sun and Moon: delete saved game and start new game
The first time you start Pokemon Sun and Moon, you create a save. From this point on, this is always loaded automatically. In the game settings you will also find no option to delete. With a little trick, the data can still be removed and the game started again:
- To do this, start the game from the home menu of your Nintendo 3DS or 2DS.
- As soon as the 3DS logo disappears, simultaneously press the [D-pad up] + [B] + [X] buttons.
- Hold down the three buttons until the question appears whether you want to delete your saved game.
- If you then confirm this message with "Yes", you can start the game again and create a fresh game.
- Note: The photos and videos you took with the Pokemon Finder will not be lost. You can find this so-called additional data in your "System Settings" in the path "Data Management"> "Nintendo 3DS"> "Additional Data"> "Pokemon Sun / Moon". If you would also like to remove this data, tap "Delete" here.
