Topic: Should I start over in pokemon black?

Should I erase all data and start over? I mean I am very bored with the game since I beat it and there is nothing to do in it anymore. I doubt it would sell for much money......

If you have another gen 5 game, trade over any good Pokemon before erasing. Otherwise, I see no reason why not.

Do you have a 3DS? We aren't very far from X & Y's release. If not, have you tried the sequel, Black 2?

I do, I guess I will just wait, then trade all of mine favorite pokemon to the x/y version

Why not?

It's just a game.

If you want to keep some pokemon and lack a second game to use as storage, get a friend to keep them for you while you restart the game.

I guess I could do that.

I know that this is late to the party. However, what I would do is wait a couple of years before replaying Pokemon Black. It's only been two years, and the sequel was the just released last year around the same time that was almost exactly the same. Around this time, I would play generation four games like Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. To me, it doesn't feel right to play Heartgold, Soulsilver, and the generation five games because they feel too new. This is my opinion, and that's what I did with Pokemon Red and Pokemon Leafgreen. I replayed Red in 2007 and replayed it again two years ago. Leafgreen, I replayed in 2008.

I'm tempted to restart Pearl at some point (as I don't think I've played it in a few years), but I think I have an event Pokemon (Jirachi) on it so that's the only reason I don't want to just wipe it. Possibly I have something on my HeartGold as well (I kind of remember some sort of GameStop event going on at launch, but I forgot what it was). I think I backed up my Pearl save with an AR. Is that enough to avoid worry about losing the (legitimately) irreplaceable data? Unsure about HG.
Or else if I have a 3DS and a DS as well as a White 2, I should at some point be able to use both to transfer the rare Pokemon for storage?

Can you trade directly from Black 1 to X/Y or do you have to trade them to Black 2 first?

@KingMike I would go with the safe way (DS-3DS) transfer imo, we are talking about a jirachi here, and your gamestop event was probably either the Crown Celebi or the 3 shiny crown beasts.

@Electricmastro A transfer way from Gen 5 to Gen 6 has not even been confirmed yet, but hopefully it will soon!

you most likely can do all the pokemon black and white to x and y. because all 4 are the same gen.

That is actually how I got all three starters on my save file on this exact game...
