Perhaps an alternative could work? I think that a hard reset would be fun, but it loses sight of what the pokemon games are about. In Every pokemon games except for R/S/E, you were able to transfer pokemon between generations going forward, allowing you to continue to adventure with your favorite pokemon. However, the systems to transfer pokemon in these games were always either time consuming or difficult, resulting in you only transferring a few pokemon that you treasured, rather than your whole PC. I think that something similar would be ideal, if possible. In order to translate this to pixelmon, I would say that players should be able to transfer maybe 3 of their most prized pokemon or perhaps their whole party but not keep the contents of their PC.
