Main menu

(Redirected from Title 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 first menu available after booting a game or other software. In video games, it typically appears right after the title screen.

In the core series games

The main menu is available 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.
