Let’s explore the different ways you can restart your Pokémon Let’s Go Eevee adventure, whether you’re looking to start fresh or just need to reload your game.
Starting a New Game
The most common way to restart Pokémon Let’s Go Eevee is by creating a new save file. However, it’s important to note that the game only allows one save file per profile on your Nintendo Switch. Here’s how to handle this:
Method 1: Using the Same Profile
1. From the Nintendo Switch home screen, launch Pokémon Let’s Go Eevee
2. Press X + B + Up (on the directional pad) simultaneously at the title screen
3. You’ll see a prompt asking if you want to delete your save data
4. Select “Delete” to confirm
5. The game will restart, allowing you to begin a new adventure
Remember, this permanently erases your previous progress, so make sure you’re absolutely certain before proceeding!
Method 2: Creating a New Profile
If you want to keep your existing save file while starting fresh, here’s a clever workaround:
1. Go to your Nintendo Switch home screen
2. Select “System Settings”
3. Scroll down to “Users”
4. Create a new user profile
5. Launch the game using this new profile
This way, you can maintain multiple save files across different profiles – perfect if you want to try different strategies or share the game with family members.
Soft Reset Options
Sometimes you might just want to quickly reload your game without fully restarting. For this, you can use the soft reset function:
• Press HOME button to close the game
• Relaunch the game
• Select your save file to continue from your last save point
When to Consider Restarting
You might want to restart your game if:
• You’ve made choices you regret early in the game
• You want to try a different playing strategy
• You’re looking to record a speedrun
• You’d like to experience the story fresh again
I remember restarting my own game because I wanted to try different partner combinations with Eevee and experiment with various catching techniques. It’s perfectly normal to want to start over, especially in a game with so many different ways to play!
Just remember to transfer any valuable Pokémon to Pokémon Home or trade them to a friend before deleting your save file if you want to keep them for future use. This way, you won’t lose your rare catches or specially trained companions when starting fresh.
