Starting fresh in Pokemon Scarlet? Easy peasy! Dive into the System Settings and say goodbye to your old save. Just remember, it's a one-way trip, so pack your Pokemon wisely!

To start a new game in Pokemon Scarlet, you gotta fire up your Nintendo Switch and launch the game first. Right after that, there isn't a direct 'New Game' option from the get-go; you need to head into the game's System Settings from the main menu. This is kinda hidden, but here's the kicker: you'll need to overwrite your existing save file to begin anew as the game supports only one save file at a time. So make sure to back up or transfer any precious mons if you're looking to restart but keep your faves.

Actually, just sell your old game and buy a new one. Instant new game vibe.
