Just delete the old save data lol. System Settings > Data Management and you're good to go.

Honestly, I didn’t even know you had to delete the save from the Switch settings at first. Tried looking for a new game option for ages in the game menu. Good luck, and enjoy! Starting over gives you a whole new perspective on the game.

Starting a new game in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is pretty straightforward but there's a catch - the game doesn’t have a direct 'New Game' option from the main menu. First, you gotta launch the game on your Nintendo Switch. Then, if you wanna start fresh, you need to head into the Switch's System Settings, navigate to 'Data Management,' and then 'Delete Save Data.' Find Pokemon Scarlet or Violet in your list of games, and confirm you wanna delete the old save. Boom, next time you launch the game, it'll be like starting from scratch, all new and shiny!
