Hi, I was recently informed that there is currently no possibility of deleting a character and starting fresh unless a moderator does it manually (which they won't do for a good reason as it would open pandora's box for them).
It makes sense that you've thought about it before and decided against it for some reason, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to try. I suggest adding an option in the game to reset the character which would return the player to the dialog with Prof. Oak from the beginning. To delete a character you'd go to settings, hit "Reset Progress / Reset Character / Reset Game / ETC", type in your password (maybe even email confirmation with a link or something if you want to be extra secure), and then you're done. You can start over.
I know you can create 2 accounts per email, and up to 4 accounts per person, but I still think this feature would be very useful for many players, or at the very least, it won't do any damage to the game.
Thank you for your consideration,
Daniel
