If you don't count the number of times I restarted just to get a decent nature Chimchar, I haven't started over at all because I don't see how it would be any different if I did.
I haven't restarted the game for one simple reason : I'd loose all my Pokemon that I'd transferred over to D/P/P from my other games, for example, my Mew and Lati@s.
Like many others in this thread, I've never restarted.
Reasons:
1. I only have one cart (Pearl) and don't trust anyone else w/ my prized pokemon
2. I'm over 500 hours and I'd hate to loss all that time.
Once I can migrate my best/rarest pokemon to Platinum, I may restart Pearl...until I get a starter that is either shiny or has real nice IV's. Sounds like a lot of work. I'll probably never do it. :)
Let me think...I think 3 times in Diamond and none in Pearl.
Pearl has my near complete dex with the event Darkrai, so I dont plan on starting over in Pearl. Diamond is the one I'll be doing start overs in. As for Platnium, dont have it yet.
