How to Start a New Game in Pokemon Scarlet
Best answer

Pro tip: Before you wipe out your save data to start fresh, consider if there's anything you want to keep. Pokemon Scarlet, like its predecessors, doesn't allow multiple save files, so once you delete, it's gone for good. Maybe trade some of your favorite Pokemon to a friend's game so you can get them back later. Gotta keep those buddies!

Starting a new game in Pokemon Scarlet is pretty straightforward but does require a couple of steps since the game doesn't have a 'New Game' option directly on the main menu. First, you're gonna want to boot up your Nintendo Switch and head to the Home screen. Find the Pokemon Scarlet game icon, press the '+' or '-' button to access the Options menu, then navigate to 'Manage Software' and click on 'Delete Save Data'. Don't worry; it sounds scary, but it's just making room for your new adventure! After you've deleted the old save, start the game like you would normally, and voila, you're ready to embark on a fresh journey in the Paldea region!
