The '''main menu''' (Japanese: '''{{j|タイトルメニュー}}''' ''title menu'', also known as '''{{j|スタートメニュー}}''' ''start menu''<ref>Pokémon Crystal Version: Mobile Guide (ポケットモンスター　クリスタルバージョンモバイルのてびき), page 8 (Nintendo, 2001)</ref>) is the menu that appears right after the title screen in the [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]] from [[Generation I]] to [[Generation VII]].


==List of entries==
From [[Generation VIII]] onwards, the most recent [[save]] is automatically loaded after the title screen.
 
In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen}} and [[Generation IV]], the main menu is hidden when there is no [[save]]; the player must first create a save file in order to access the main menu.

This article is about the title screen menu. For the overworld menu, see Menu.
The main menu of Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!

The main menu (Japanese: タイトルメニュー title menu, also known as スタートメニュー start menu[1]) is the menu that appears right after the title screen in the core series Pokémon games from Generation I to Generation VII.

From Generation VIII onwards, the most recent save is automatically loaded after the title screen.

In Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen and Generation IV, the main menu is hidden when there is no save; the player must first create a save file in order to access the main menu.

In the core series

Entry Description and notes
Continue Allows the player to resume their journey from the point in which they last saved the game.
Only appears when a save file is available.
New game Allows players to start their journey from the beginning.
It is only available prior to Generation VI.
