While you have a existing file, press new game at the main menu and it willgive you instructions on how to erase the game, you have to press certain buttons simultaneously at the screen with Palkia on it and it says press start.
Goo goo g'joob
Oh my god, please try and read the message that appears on the screen whenever you click on the new game option. If you do actually take the time to read the short message that appears in the box, you will see exactly how you are supposed to go about deleting your game. Then again, other Pokemon players have often had trouble understanding what it is exactly that they are supposed to do. So, I guess that the fault is Nintendo's for not more making there instructions more clearer. If you want to delete your current save file and start a new game, you must go to the Title Screen. The Title screen is the screen in every video game where it shows the title of the game, and it tells you to press the start button. If you press the buttons that the message tells you to, then you should erase your old game file.
Hope this helps.
When you start the game it will say below your current profile new game press there and it will show you what buttons to press to start a new game
Well you have to hold on b,select,and up to delete the game
Click on new game and then save after all the talking.

You have to press up (control pad) select b at the same time(select is the lower tiny button)to delete your saved file.
(Isn't it kinda messed that there's only one save file) ;)
You have to hold these buttons up select and b then hold till it goes to a blue screen saying are you sure that you want to delete your saved data
