How many times ahve you started over in Diamond/Pearl/Platinum?
 
As the question clearly states, how many times have you started over in your DPPt game?

For me I got Diamond and I recently started over today. This would make it my 4th time starting over.

Zero. I have over 500 hours in my Diamond version and I have plans on restarting it. I have plenty of Pokemon that I used for competitive battling and most of them took many hours to get because I breed a lot. I also have one DS as well so I can't just transfer my Pokemon to another cartridge without asking a friend.

Iamme September 23rd, 2008 8:57 AM

3 i got to 45 hours completion on my first try, Traded some pokemon and caught more next try. 48 hours completion. Ive jut beat the elite four on 31 hours now.

A big 0 for me! I've reached the Legendary"999:59" Time on my Pearl, and I'm not planning on resetting that number. Maybe when I get Diamond, I may restart it a few times, and then, send all that stuff to Platinum.

No78 September 23rd, 2008 10:24 AM

None, I transferred alot of Pokemon from Emerald so this makes Pearl the current "Master Game", this means I can't overwite it untill I get Platinum which will no doubt become the next "Master Game".

Emerald was my last Master Game... Before that was Leaf Green, then Sapphire... A long history xD

I've done it once. It was when the Darkrai Event was approaching. I had already hacked my game to have the Member's Pass and Oak's Letter. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to obtain it since it hadn't been determined if it would be Wireless download or give the Member's Pass. So I restarted my game to make sure I could obtain it. But at least I saved all of my good Pokemon and got rid of the hacked Key Items. Lost my TRU Manaphy Wonder Card though.

ChamsRock September 23rd, 2008 10:55 AM

I think five. I've gotten to the Elite four every time, but my team always sucks, so I restart.

elmo534 September 23rd, 2008 10:56 AM

um none as i realy dont see the point

~MasterMind~ September 23rd, 2008 11:09 AM

i dont see the point in starting over i have exacataly 687:56 hours and min i have never started over me dosent see the point

Sweet Speed September 23rd, 2008 11:11 AM

About 6 times I'm gonna keep this save, when I bother with it anyway =P.

Master Jecht September 23rd, 2008 11:12 AM

i have never restarted. I already have all my favorite pokemon.

Creqaw September 23rd, 2008 11:18 AM

3 times...my flashcard really hates pokemon and always delete my saves =(

Evilyn September 23rd, 2008 11:21 AM

Never restarted Pearl. I might restart it when I get Platinum so I can transfer my Shinies and events :3

PKDante September 23rd, 2008 11:21 AM

None.

I've put way to much effort into it to even contemplate restarting!

shunyata September 23rd, 2008 12:11 PM

Enough to get me, my roommate, and my daughter all the starters at the beginning of the game. No plan to do it again even though I didn't work to get Legendaries with the right natures and good IVs.

Mōnštȝr¿ September 23rd, 2008 1:53 PM

I have started over 4 times.. I just beat my diamond for the 4th time also....

BakingBluePotatoe September 23rd, 2008 2:14 PM

if you consider buying Diamond and using it seperate from my Pearl as "restarting" then.. once.

wakachamo September 23rd, 2008 2:48 PM

So far, just once. Don't plan on restarting again any soon, too.

[Mushroom] September 23rd, 2008 4:06 PM

I "ahve" started over in Diamond about 6 times.

Karmarsi September 23rd, 2008 5:17 PM

I've started over about... 3 or 4 times, I regret the first time, Tranfered my eevee evolution team to ym Diamond and forgot I started my emerald over. Big msitake on my part @[email protected]

Archeopterix September 23rd, 2008 6:53 PM

Well, I haven't really restarted in either of them. I technically did restart a few times in my Pearl in order to obtain all the starters on my Diamond when I first got it, but otherwise, I haven't.

Lord Yawgmoth September 23rd, 2008 6:53 PM

I have 214 hours of work into my game; I ain't restarting that.

Glaceon_ September 23rd, 2008 7:10 PM

I've restarted twice, overall; once on my Diamond, before I started to establish a hold on the Sinnoh Region. (completed the in-game Events, really; that's about it) I restarted because I wasn't particularly happy with how I played through it... and the second time was on my Pearl, when I took upon myself a little Challenge, of sorts. After I transferred the items and Pokemon I wanted, of course.

With that, I haven't lost anything significant with any restarts I've done.

lordbahamut September 24th, 2008 12:12 AM

I started over plenty of times for the sole reason that I can't resolve myself to play as a guy. In the anime, Dawn lives with er mother and gets a Piplup from Professor Rowan. I can't bring myself to play as Lucas and take a Turtwig, because I really want Dawn to have the Piplup in the end. Also, the fact that you can raname Barry and not Dawn annoys me. At least, we should have the right to rename both our helper and our rival, it would give us more customization. But I guess I'm just too picky about this. *sighs* Damn the Anime show and the canon pokémon trainers. I think I'm doomed for the rest of my days.

Mimikyu402 September 24th, 2008 3:12 AM

A few times but Im currently playing a new run in pearl that I started today and Im going to make it my mastergame until platinum arrives( all my good pokes from before the restart is safe on my brothers diamond game, until i can transfer them)
