I don't have pokebank since I don't have any of the other games, only X. I want to complete the dex because I have never done so before, and I want to train as many comp pokemon as possible.
I will probably purchase it at some point in the future (ie, once Z or hoenn remakes are out).
I keep a lot of pokemon yeah, but I think it's not possible to keep 1 of each with the current amount of boxes, am i right?
Pokebank isn't for those who have older games, it's for anyone who wants a place to store a large amount of Pokemon. You get 100 boxes x 30 slots in each. The PokeTransporter is what folks with older games use, but you have to download that after you get PokeBank. And you have to go through PokeBank app to even get it. So you'd never need to download it unless you specifically wanted to.
It's really worth the $5 a year. Boatload of storage for competitive Pokemon, Pokedex, etc. Right now I have first 24 or 25 boxes with my normal Pokedex. All in order from start to finish. I also have some boxes set up as my Shiny Pokedex at the moment. Got several boxes of those. Have an Event Pokemon box, Alternate Form box (for Vivillons, Sawsbuck seasons, etc), and a lot of other stuff. This has to be better storage than Pokemon Ranch was on the GC. (Never dabbled in that because seemed too much like a pain in the rear.)
Yeah, total PC boxes I have for full Pokedex is like 24 pages. But that will be most of your PC. Think once fully unlocked it goes up to what, 32 boxes? Could be wrong, not looking at my copy right now.
Yup, I plan to have a living dex. Ideally one that is as much Kalos born as possible.
I even intend to sort it out in Pokebank by Pokedex ID once I get enough of them.
Awesome. Since most of the older Pokemon are from my old games that I brought over myself, don't so much care about Kalos born, but think that's pretty cool. Bit of a challenge to yourself. Start early though on sorting them by Pokemon #. Get too many and it becomes difficult. (I'd transferred over a boatload of stuff before Bank came out.. didn't sort it til after it came out and took hours.)
