New Game
By pressing this option, you will have to play the game again from the very beginning of the game.

This let's you customize on how you want the game to be played. These are the options available:
Speed               -Changes Text messages to three different levels
Battle Animation -Set the animation in battle to on or off.
Battle Style        -Select the way you want to battle either shift (after                               defeating a trainer's Pokemon, you can switch to                                 another Pokemon for the next battle) or set (you will                            not be able to change your Pokemon after you defeat                            a trainer's Pokemon).

    Select New Game and your Pokemon adventure will start from there. In Pokemon Blue, Red and Yellow version, you will just need to listen to the introduction by Professor Oak and type in your name and your rival's name. In Gold version, you will have to tell Proffessor Oak the time because Pokemon Gold version is a bit special from other versions of Pokemon (excluding Silver version). Different Pokemon can be caught at the same place depending wether it is day or night. What's more, the screen colour is also darker when it is night and brighter when it is morning to evening.
