Pokémon Which Pokemon title would you suggest to a newbie?

Like all the other people here, I'd say X or Y because it's much easier than any of the other games (apart from ORAS) and has pretty much all the pokemon.

Hi again everyone! I picked up a used copy of Pokemon X, and now I have a silly question. This copy seems pretty complete... 50hrs play time, 338 in pokedex, and 8 badges. I usually like to keep complete files while starting a new one for myself. That way, if I struggle, I can play around on someone else's file.

My question: 1, can I even start a new file without deleting the current one? 2, is that even a good file? I don't know much about pokemon, but those seem like high numbers.

50 hours is average, 338 is almost half the Pokedex, 8 Badges means they've beaten the game most likely (the only games with more than 8 badges were Gen 2/Gold/Silver), and no....to start over you'd have to delete that file I'm afraid. All Pokemon games (main series games) only have 1 save file. : /

There is a way to save the Pokemon on it though, if you really want to keep them! There's an app for 3DS called Pokemon Bank. You can get a pass for it (it's like $5 for a year) and transfer the Pokemon on that save to the Bank, start your new file, then transfer them from Bank to your new file.

Thank you so much! I think I'm just gonna clear the file and start anew. My first pokemon experience begins!

Alright, enjoy! If you need any help or advice feel free to PM me! Mind if I add you on my 3DS?
I just recently finished Pokemon Y myself, loved every minute!
