5th Gen Restarting your game!

[Tman]

I will probably never restart my White. I almost never restart any of my first copies of games. Like a first white or first black, after that its fair game. I've played countless times on a seperate white.

 

[Ho-Oh]

I only restarted once and I regret it. All my Dream World Points, all my Dream World Pokemon my EV Trained Pokemon that I've had since around 2008, my shiny Charmander who I have never seen again, my Pokemon that had special moves from XD, my Liberty Pass, and all of my GameStop Entei, Raikou, Suicune, and Celebi.

I miss that file.

The only thing I've done differently was use a few different Pokemon and get rid of my starter as soon as I got it's final evolution in my Pokedex.

Oh wow, why did you restart it? :( That sounds terrible tbh.

Either way I've restarted Black a lot (over 11 times probably? I've got a lot of Victini and two playthroughs!) But White, nope, never. It's got all my good stuff on it (plus someone else's stuff lool).

 

[ELVISTHEGUY]

I've restarted my game several times, but since this time I ev train them and obtained my Arceus from Dream World, it will be a big mistake to restart.

 

[Princess Sandshrew]

I've not restarted on my Black (which I have 153 hours on) my first save feels more precious to me and, since I used to restart like 50 times per a game in gen 1-3, it feels like an accomplishment to keep the first save.
I am borrowing a copy of White and I'm currently playing a Nuzlocke on it.

 

[Mr Cat Dog]

Despite my boredom with the post-game as a whole, I've never thought to restart my Black game. I like my current team at the moment, and it's composed of a majority of non-Unova critters (like Kingdra!) so to restart from the beginning would definitely be a culture shock. Ugh, I'd have to start with one of the starters again, so, no. Probs not going to happen for a long time on my end.

 

[Zelda]

I have restarted my game only once, and none of the Pokémon on my team are ones I had previously. I do regret picking Tepig this time (though I plan to keep it a Tepig), it's kind of weak just being its first evolution and Oshawott is so much cuter/better to me. Though I'd say if anything to be honest, the games aren't very restartable worthy, or at least to me. :(

Oh wow, why did you restart it? :( That sounds terrible tbh.

Either way I've restarted Black a lot (over 11 times probably? I've got a lot of Victini and two playthroughs!) But White, nope, never. It's got all my good stuff on it (plus someone else's stuff lool).

I got really bored and thought to myself that I could get those things again. My newer file bores me to death.

 

[Tachikaze]

If I do, it's usually just to catch different Pokes or to just start over in general. Unless I have a lot of progress and invaluable breeding material for my trade thread. XD

 

[Khall]

I honestly can't bring myself to restart White. Mainly because I don't have Black yet and all of my babies are on that file. I got my Samurott to level 100 in the first two days of playing the game so :| yeah it's pretty important to me.

I have about 120 hours or so on the game, but honestly that's not much to me.

 

[Arc]

I have White (NA) and Black (JAP). The only game I've restarted was my Black, and it was for a Nuzlocke playthrough, in which I completed.

 

[Superjub]

I haven't restared, and I probably won't. I've got the National Dex for the first time (ironically on the game with the most Pokemon xD) and I only need Keldeo, Meloetta and Genesect to complete my PokeDx fully (including events.) Anyway, I also have all my good Pokemon, including shinies that I've found myself, on the game, and it'd be a hassle. I can wait until Gray, which'll probably be the game I reset. ;D Also, I guess it's worth mentioning that I have a silver trainer card at the moment. All I need to get the black trainer card is complete the Battle Subway and get all the pass powers. The Battle SUbway- yeah, maybe one day. I don't know anyone with Black who's willing to do the missions though. D:

Anyway, as for how much time... I have 269 hours and 34 minutes so far. :D Wow, I didn't think I spent that much time on Black. XD

 

[Killjoy]

I played through white a couple times before I did my 'true' play through, now it serves as my accumulative PC, were I store all my Pokémon from other games.

Black though lol maybe 10 times. I always try to make a unique team out of pokemon I havent used before
