Got an actual Pokemon game- but I need an advice

After many years of playing Pokemon on emulators (due to initial fears of console screens ruining my eyesight (I have one good eye since birth), and me not having enough money to get the actual stuff in previous years), I finally bought the console 3DS XL on Saturday, along with Pokemon Y. Now that I have a fully functional game, I can trade and do other things.

I would try out all or most of the starters when I played on a PC emulator, each in a separate save. However, 3DS doesn't allow this. How do people deal with it, when they want to do a new game- and try out a new starter/team, assuming they don't have a second console? Delete the old save anyway, or...?

Also, do people still trade on older games (Y might already be called old)?

They either don't, or they use Pokémon Bank (or a friend) to store Pokémon from the outgoing save file while they start over. It's not a terribly common practice, as people are accustomed to a single save file, but Bank has made it easier.

X and Y are now two generations defunct so their online activity is limited, but people do still play them if you look in the right places.

^ This. That said, talk about emulators and playing games on them isn't allowed here on the forums.

Locking this now as it doesn't really need to be a thread and your questions have been answered.
