I just bought pokemon X.

The game is all kinds of awesome. I have now beaten the first gym leader. She gave me a good fight.

I have been waiting for a friend to get the game himself too so I could get all the starters traded. However, I may stop waiting and start playing seriously soon. I have been waiting for too long!

I am sure someone here would be more than willing to trade the Gen1/6 starters with you so you could begin your journey.

Hey, I got the starters yesterday! Also, I learned that, after saving, the start game menu has no direct restart option, only Continue, which freaked me out. Luckily you can still restart by pressing up + x + B.

The games have never had a restart option... only the button combination. Unless you're talking about 'New Game', in which case the most recent games wouldn't let you save anyway because you had a save file and when you restart, it goes straight to the opening cutscene.
Also, using Wonder Trade will get you some Pokemon you need, and if you want some legendaries, put up a starter, preferably one with a hidden ability.

I was talking about 'New Game'. But this was the first time I paid attention to that one for a long time. So the recent games don't have it?

The recent games don't have it, you're right.
