I always restart my games, mostly because I'm not satisfied with the way I performed in that runthrough. It's pretty annoying, and one of the things that proves my dissatisfaction is the fact that I've had Platinum since it came out, and I've only just beaten the League on my current file, as I'd always start again whenever I made any progress. Ugh.
i havent restarted my pearl in about 1 year, but once i finally finish the damn pokedex i might start over, but i get bored on the games after i have done the same storyline for a while, i have played platinum 4 different times >.> its getting boring XD
although i never get bored with mystery dungeon or the ranger games
I restart my games a lot just because I like starting a fresh new journey. I'm not gonna restart my Soul Silver though because that's going to be my main game and I'm getting Heart Gold to restart over and over with.
I've restarted all of my games just about 3 times...mostly out of boredom, and the fact that they are my favorite games to play. This time, I restarted to do start catching them all, which is taking longer than expected...-.-
i don't restart platinum, however pearl i restart cause i just feel like it (it's my pokemon ranch slave so i really dun care bout it) and yellow, when i go ages without plain it i restart
I restart my games once and once only, and that's to get an extra one of each legend in the game. As well as that I also get to trade over one-off TMs and items as a bonus.
I do it when I get bored but I only do it on the game that doesnt have all my info on it. The game that has all my pokemon and more on it I dont restart.
I restart when I'm bored with my current file, and I want to play through the games again. But now I just buy an extra copy of the game and use it as my restart file... because my first copy is where I did a lot of stuff on, and I don't want to erase it. Hence, I have three copies of Diamond.
I am currently bored of waiting for Heart Gold, therefore, I am send ing all my legendaries and rare pokemon to Platinum in order to re-start my Diamond.
