Hi there! I'm a seasoned Pokemon trainer with years of experience playing various Pokemon titles, including Pokemon Emerald. I've bred countless Pokemon, conquered numerous Battle Frontiers, and even dabbled in a bit of competitive battling.
Resetting your Pokemon Emerald game is a big decision, as it wipes out all your progress and starts you fresh. It's like saying goodbye to your trusty team and venturing back to Littleroot Town for a brand new adventure. Here's how you can do it:
Understanding what a reset entailsBefore you take the plunge, it's crucial to understand that resetting your Pokemon Emerald game is
irreversible. This means:
*
Gone are your Pokemon: All the Pokemon you've caught, trained, and bonded with will disappear.
*
Farewell to your progress: You'll lose all your progress in the story, including gym badges, beaten trainers, and explored areas.
*
Items vanish: Say goodbye to your rare candies, master balls, and any other valuable items you've accumulated.
The Reset ProcessResetting Pokemon Emerald is surprisingly straightforward. Just follow these steps:
1. Backup your save data (optional): This step is entirely optional, but if you have a way to backup your save data, like a Game Boy Advance Game Link Cable and another cartridge, you might want to consider it. This will allow you to restore your progress later if you change your mind.
2. Power on your game: Turn on your Game Boy Advance with Pokemon Emerald inserted.
3. **Press and hold the magic button combination:** While the game is booting up,
simultaneously press and hold the
A, B, Start, and Select buttons. Keep holding these buttons down.
4. Confirmation screen: You should see a screen asking if you want to delete all save data.
This is your last chance to back out! If you don't want to reset your game, release the buttons now.
5. Confirm the reset: If you're certain about resetting, press the
Select button. The game will then erase your save data, leaving you with a fresh start.
Starting AnewAfter the reset, Pokemon Emerald will boot up as if it's brand new. You'll be greeted with the familiar opening sequence and the option to choose your name and start your adventure once more.
Important Note: There seems to be some confusion about using a paperclip or other objects to reset the game. **Do not attempt to insert anything into the game cartridge slot other than a compatible Game Boy Advance game.** This could potentially damage your game or your Game Boy Advance.
Remember, resetting your Pokemon Emerald game is a big decision. Make sure you're absolutely certain before you proceed. If you have any doubts, it's best to hold off and reconsider. Once you've reset, there's no turning back!
