5th Gen Restarting your game!

[Elite Overlord LeSabre™]

Never restarted the game, and I clocked about 95 or so hours on it before selling it. I was never motivated to restart it since leveling up was just so tedious. But I wasn't really motivated to try to get my team up to 100 either (I stalled at about Lv80) for that same reason.

 

[Cordelia]

I don't know if I'll restart either, I doubt it honestly. I have over 400 hours on my Black, though XD A bit obsessive, no?

 

[Wafflenobs]

I won't restart my black as I have about 200 hours on it now. I've recently discovered the awesomeness that is Roms and I'll be sticking to that for now.

 

[vizarod]

I recently restarted my game out of complete boredom, and now I am trying even harder to complete the pokedex. I still have Oshawott, because it's the most attractive to me, plus I thought it would be easier to get through the game with it. but now my whole team is different, and I actually tried hard to level them up this time.

 

[Souma]

I've made a total of 3 playthroughs. Then, I just finished a play-through using some hard-mode hack.

The first time: I've made a Poltergeist team. Rotom would have been in the team if I could meet him before the league, but oh well! Starter was Oshawott, and discarded him as soon as I got my 6th Poltergeist pokemon.

The second time: Heavy pokemons. Shaking and Dust ahoy when sending my pokemons in a triple or rotation battle! Starter was Tepig, and kept him in my final team.

The third time: Volt-Switch and U-Turn! Lot of fun with switching! Starter was Snivy, and again, discarded him as soon as I got my 6th pokemon.

The fourth time, with Hard-mode: Auto-meteo team. Since most of the 649 pokemons were available before league and that they could learn their Dream World ability, I took the opportunity for this team.

Next game I'll make, I think I'll make a Metronome Challenge. Could be lot of fun!

 

[Kajini]

Never restarted my White but that's simply because I went right back to good old Heart Gold after finishing it. The 5th gen didn't appeal to me much and the Elite 4 disappointed me on the second time fighting them.

 

[Maple Leaf]

I've restarted once, and I'm in Castelia right now. Eh, the first play-through was only 100 hours or so. *shrugs*

 

[Sydian]

I've almost completely lost track of how many times I've restarted my Black. I've restarted my English White maybe...3 times. And I have never and will never restart my Japanese White.

 

[Togetic997]

I've restarted the game a couple of times, and every time I restart I use completely different pokemon on my team and I try to use a different starter the first 3 times.

 

[Souji Seta]

I've restarted by Black Version about three times since I have gotten it. As for White Version, I'd say about twice so far. Mainly to use different Pokemon, that I didn't think about using on my previous runs.

 

[RedViper1990]

I just restarted my Black game. Don't know why actually, probably because I didn't liked my team and I got bored.
But now, I wish I never restarted the game :P

 

[MrGriszell]

I've never restarted my white, I've been playing for 386 hours and obtaine 646 Pokemon .

 

[smurf]

i useally only restart one game so i can transfer all of my high level and rare pokemon and still have them but i have restarted my black version like 7 times

 

[Mew~]

I hate restarting. But I've played through Unova on three different games (Japanese Version of White, and English Black and White) if that counts. I play White most actively (though I don't think I've touched it since, idk, before Christmas) and I'm pretty sure I have a playtime of over 150 hours.

 

[CloseCombat]

I've reset my White game once and I don't really plan to reset it again because I have an event Mewtwo and Arceus on there as well as transferred precious pokemon from my Pearl game.

 

[Espeon96]

I'm not restarting my game, since I have many Pokemon I want to keep and event Pokemon on my game and I have nowhere to trade them to.
I have clocked just under 70 hours, I played the game a lot at launch, and am starting to play again after many months of not touching it.

 

[RedJ]

I restarted my Black not long after I started because all my friends started with either Snivy(which I started with) or Tepig, and since I didn't have Internet at the time I had to restart and get Oshawott if I wanted one any time soon.

And I only just got White, so.

 

[LegendaryZekrom]

My 2nd time going through white and um differently. . . .I'm using Oshawott instead of Snivy :). But mainly all will be replaced once I get my Zekrom (as usual)

 

[XEL]

I haven't started a game since I began competitively battling haha. I usually just buy only one copy of only one version, so yeah haha

 

[Raichupacabra]

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.
