Should I restart my Pokemon Go?

I'm currently at lvl 25, caught all legendary birds and a shiny 80% larvitar, now tyranitar w/ a double rock moveset. Though I'm pretty happy with those, there's just something that bugs me with my current adventure that I just want to resart, but I don't want to lose the aforementioned pokemon. So should I resart or not?

Yes, of course you should.

Well, either that, or give us a little more context.

I can't even begin to imagine what on earth could make you feel that way. It's not like there's a story mode or something. Are you on a minority local team?

Bad nick (twice)?

Bad nickname? Unhappy with team choice? Spoofed to catch things and regret it? Picked PTC and regret it? ...Rodents of unusual size?

Without more context, it's hard to give much advice on this one. Also keep in mind that, with the exception of Articuno, you'll have to wait til Niantic gives the other legendary birds another go-round before you'd be able to catch them again on a new account.

Picking PTC is a non-issue nowadays, you can just add a google or facebook login to work around the problem.

A bad trainer name can be changed, but only once: https://support.pokemongo.nianticlabs.com/hc/en-us/articles/224606567-Changing-your-Trainer-nickname

Not only that but you can't add PTC to a non-PTC account. So a PTC account has an additional login method that other players can never get.

Do tell...what exactly is it that bugs you about your current adventure?

Clearly that is the issue we need to understand to make a valid assessment...and I just want the juicy details too.

Maybe just reinstall the app?

Is this a troll question?

What’s bugging you? Not happy with your choices for the Eevee naming trick, and want a do-over?

No don't do it. You could be seen as having multiple accounts and get banned. Just keep jumping through the hoops like a good little Lemming.

Who gets banned for having multiple accounts?

No one. Niantic can't tell the difference between a multi-accounter or a (part of a) family playing on one device. Better have multi-accounters playing than a legit family not playing.

Well, seeing as trading is going to become a thing soon, it would be possible to still preserve all of your pokemon that you do want to keep by sending them to your newer file if you do restart, just make sure to keep your old login., and at the cost of possiblely lowering the pokemon's IV's

Either way, it is ultimately up to you, if you do want to restart, i'd recommend sooner than later to get startdust and not need to trade as many pokemon.

Spoof until they ban you, at least that way you'll go out with a bang.
