How to reset a Pokemon GO account?

I accidentally have choosen Bulbasaur for my starter where I wanted Squirtle. Is there anyway to reset it? I have looked in the options menu and there does not appear to be a way to reset it. I guess that I could make a new Google Play account for it, but that seems like a mess.

Solution 1:

I don't believe it is possible to reset your account. However, it seems that the starter Pokemon are not extremely rare; I got Bulbasaur as my starter last night and found a Squirtle this morning. Starter Pokemon are not as important as in main-series Pokemon games, anyways.

Solution 2:

Pretty simple - use a laptop/desktop (not mobile device) to log into your Google account. Click the icon on the top right with your photo and click "My Account." On the left hand side, under "Sign-in & Security" click "Connected apps & sites." Under "Apps connected to your account" click "Manage Apps." Click Pokemon Go & hit remove.

Solution 3:

When you login to Pokemon Go on android, you have the choice between using your Google account or your Pokemon Club credentials. These two are not linked together, so if you started playing with the Google login, you can start from scratch by making an account on Pokemon Club and playing with it.
