This wikiHow teaches you how to restart an active game in Pokémon Platinum. Starting a game is easy, but restarting a game that already has a save in it is a bit difficult because it doesn't provide a direct option to create a new game. Even so, you can still restart the game from scratch with the press of a few buttons.
Step
Step 1. Load the Pokémon Platinum game on your Nintendo DS or Nintendo 3DS/2DS
Select the game from the list of games installed on the portable console to run it. Wait for the title screen to appear.
Step 2. Press the button + SELECT + B simultaneously.
Once the title screen is displayed, press the direction and action key combination on the DS/3DS/2DS. You have to press all the buttons at the same time, not alternately.
This will bring up a prompt asking if you really want to delete the saved game
Step 3. Select YES
Select " YES " again to confirm that you really want to delete the old game and start a new one.
Step 4. Restart Pokémon Platinum
Your old game saves will be deleted and you'll start your Pokémon Platinum game from scratch.
Tips
- If you really want to start a new game, all the achievements in the previous game will be lost, and you won't be able to recover them again.
- If you can't restart the game using the key combination above, you must have pressed keys other than, SELECT, and B by mistake.
