How to Delete a Save and Start a New Game – Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire

Recommended Videos

Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire take players back to the Hoenn region from the GameBoy Advance games and adds a couple of new twists to the original titles. If you’re wanting to start your game over again, you may have noticed that there’s no option on the menu to simply start a new game.

In order to get around this, you’ll need to delete your old save file on the cartridge first. In order to do this, all you have to do is press and hold B and X and Up on your 3DS when your game is at the title screen.

Once you’ve done this, the game should ask if you’re sure you want to erase your saved game. Simply confirm, and after a short wait the game will erase your old progress and allow you to start from the beginning.

Then, simply start up the game like you would any other Pokemon title and you’ll have no problems starting off an entirely new adventure to be the very best there ever was.

Now it’s up to you to head out there, discover the new Delta Episode story that wasn’t in the original games, and put an end to Team Magma and Team Aqua.
