I finally finished my Living Dex getting all 720 Pokémon. it wasn't easy, but Wonder trade and with the help of friendly other players I managed to even get some events. So damn happy about it, first time I tried this and don't know if I will do it again in Sun/Moon, depends on the game!

I created a gallery of it aswell http://imgur.com/a/BWMEW

Anyone else collected a Living Dex? Was I insane in doing this? (most likely) If you play Pokémon what goals in the games made you really happy?

I managed to get 151 in Pokemon Red. Was so damn hard to get it legit (without Missingno) and I had to "borrow" my friend's Pokemon Yellow "a few" times.

Remember playing blue, I only completed the pokedex back then it was stupidly hard but as you I had friends I could trade with.

I'm on my way, I'm currently at looking for the forth generation forward, they're all in my Poké Bank. :D

EDIT: I'm not making it a goal, but a few of my friends like to make a 100% Pokédex, including all gender, shiny, mega, mode, style, pattern, etc. for every pokémon. Now THAT'S insane.

That is indeed insane, the only other things I did collect was all different patterns of Vivillon

Good luck to you getting everything :)

:) I got to get them all. First it was the normal dex, when I had that I wanted the shiny dex
Now that I got it all, there is no purpose for me to play anymore
Both boxes in both games are full and also the pokebank is full, so no more room for new pokemons. Couldnt even get the free giveaways from Nintendo

hehe yeah I know. Hatched a lot of eggs to get most shinies and traded shinies for legendaries so a lot of time wasted :)
But I had fun :)

You know I tried with shinies but that requires so much patience I do not have xD I got most of my shinies being lucky in the wild and through WT.

I traded also a lot through the GTS, you need a lot of legendaries for this to work
(trade starters for legendaries then trade legendaries for shinies thats the trick)
Like I said if you ever start collecting I can help you out with the difficult ones

sometimes you get one shiny on 25 fish
Its the fastest way to get shinies
Here is an explanation what you need to do(this one is for x & y but its the same for Sapphire and Ruby (these ones give shinies a lot faster

Last Box should be 691-720.
BOOM LiveDex ruined!!!

jk, good job dude, I did this a long time ago (I think it was during the pokebank trial), sadly haven't played the game since, but I sank a nice 600h into it.

Not really, one box can hold only 30 pokemons, the last box if he wanted to could be a 721 + shinies

I meant that there were 721 pokemons, sorry for the confusion

You made me think of another idea, I'll have it reserved for 721 and have all the Vivillons in the same!

I didn't know it had a name but I've tried to do this since the late GBA days. Got tired of having to re-catch/train the low/middle guys.

Never completed any of them (past the 1st gen) though, so good on you! I would still like to at some point but it's a looooooooooooot of work.

Yeah it is, I will probably not do it going forward, just do what I have done since first generation, completing the dex.

good job! I have had this little living dex in Pokemon Black. I gave up in Omega Ruby. I shifted my interest to shiny hunting.

in Black? Not really. There is a slightly better chance with breeding, using Masuda method. Thats all. Everything I have brought from Black was shiny Pidove I found completely randomly.
I enjoy hunting shinies in X and Omega Ruby atm. Its kinda easy, but still can be time consuming a lot. I have spent around 4 days trying to get shiny Wobbuffet T_T

wow thats a lot of time
I accidentally killed my first shiny in hunting I was really in shock
I like breeding more but thats a lot of work (usually watch some series doing shiny breeding :))
