With your Pokémon transferred, it’s time to start a new game. Load up Pokémon Sun or Moon and create a new character. You’ll be able to choose your favorite starter Pokémon and set off on a new adventure.
#### Step 4: Choose Your Team
Remember, you can only bring three Pokémon with you on your journey. Choose wisely, and don’t be afraid to pick a different team than before. It’s always exciting to see how your choices evolve over time.
#### Step 5: Begin Your Adventure
Once you’ve got your new character and team ready, it’s time to start exploring the Alola region. Remember, this time around, you’ll have the opportunity to catch new Pokémon and explore areas you may have missed the first time.
