Wondering how to change the in-game name or trainer gender in Pokemon Legends Arceus? There are two trainer characters available for you to choose from in the game: Rei (Boy) and Akari (Girl). When you launch Legends Arceus for the first time, you will be prompted to choose a name and gender. Unfortunately, once you choose a name and a gender, there’s no way you can change them anymore. Well, not entirely correct. You will have to start a new game of Pokemon Legends Arceus in order to change your trainer character’s name and gender. And, to do so, you can either add a new Switch User account or reset your game’s data. Read this article to know the process in detail.
How to add a new Switch user?
You can add a new user account to your Nintendo Switch and use that account to play Pokemon Legends Arceus from the beginning. This will let you choose a different name and gender to play the game. To make a new Switch user, follow these steps:
1) Open System Settings on your Nintendo Switch.
2) Navigate to the Users tab and select Add User.
3) Now, select Create New User.
4) Finally, select an icon and a nickname for the new user account and select OK when prompted.
Once the new account is created, you can go ahead and launch Pokemon Legends Arceus and play the game using the new account.
How to delete Pokemon Legends Arceus’s save file?
Deleting Pokemon Legends Arceus‘s save file will reset your game data and allow you to play the game from the beginning. Thus, when you launch the game after deleting the save file, you will be taken through the introductory part of the game again. The game will also prompt you to enter your preferred nickname and choose the gender of your trainer. Here’s how you can delete Legendto Arceus’s save file from your Nintendo Switch:
1) Open System Settings on your Nintendo Switch.
2) Navigate to the Data Management tab and select Delete Save Data. Enter PIN, if any.
3) Now, select Pokemon Legends Arceus from the list.
4) If you have more than one user account in your Switch, select the user account from which you want to delete saved data for the game. Or, choose the Delete All Save Data for this Software option.
5) Next, select Delete Save Data to confirm.
Note that performing the above will delete all game data permanently, thus allowing you to start a fresh game of Pokemon Legends Arceus.
In conclusion, deleting the game’s save data or using a new user account to play the game will let you change your in-game nickname and character gender. There’s no method that allows you to change your in-game nickname or gender after you set them up the first time. For more articles on Pokemon Legends Arceus, stay tuned to Androidgram!
