  • Is it really possible to have every single Pokemonand transfer them to just one of the games. I would love to have all of them in my Pokemon Diamond game but do I have to play every Pokemon game,like Ranger,sapp,leaf green,fire red? Then just transfer them all? Thanks for any help and tips! They are greatly appreciated! I would really like to use this thread to talk to other people who have this same goal as I do and how mayny Pokemon you have and which games you can't live without owning!

  • I have a Celebii... and all the other events exept Darkrai and Arceus (I got Shaymin because this one kid at the Manaphy event had an AR)

    I got them from trades, exept my Manaphy which I drove over a mountain through 2 counties for an hour to get =3

    Odd thing is, I STILL Need Groundon, all three dogs, Mewtwo, The birds, the Lati-twins, The Regiis (all four) Giratina and Azelf... ALL of wich I can get in the games I have...

    The Regiis will be the hardest, seeing as Relincath only has a 2% encounter rate... >.<

    My Pokedex:

    (got)/(seen)/(out of a total of...)
    365/402/493

    I still have a ways to go...

    I have all the Daimond exclusives on my Pearl, and I only traded for a couple of them)
    Luckily I got Sapphire, which had the older Daimond exclusives... if I had worked for it a bit harder, I could've also gotten Murkrow (and Suicine) of FR... but oh well.


    but no, it's impossible to "Catch 'Em All" without trading/another game.
    for D/P, you'd need all the GBA Games (Main RPG) to get 'em all.
    of course, that excludes the event legends... I got 'em all though, I just need to wait for Darkrai and Arceus...


    Back in Emerald, if I did have 2 GBAs, I'd have all exept Zangoose... who now, I'd be able to get of my friend, so I'd have 'em all... in the Hoenn Pokedex.

  • You can't catch 'em all... Literally... Since you can only obtain version/generation exclusive Pokemon through trade... Maybe you can trade 'em all? Since you can't catch a Pokemon outside of the region anyway... (you don't catch Pokemon when you trade them)

    They dropped that line near the end of the second gen. Good thing, I always thought "gotta catch 'em all" sounded really tacky. Also, that catchphrase or any variation of it never existed in Japan.

    Through years of countless hours of staring at tiny game screens, I have collected all the Pokemon legitimately, including my Darkrai which is Eigakan ( Japanese Movie Event ).

    All I need is Shaymin and Arcues :/

    This seems more suitable for the D/P forum so I'll move it there for you.

  • not to be mean, but no. you really can't unless you use cheats or go to Japan. i cheated to get them(sorry all of you non cheaters) in my view, not really. johto are impossible to get(they're my favorites though:() cheats are the best way, im willing to give away any pokemon at any level and you non-cheaters can get a full pokedex. pm me with a list of any pokemon you want to anybody who reads this!(im not advertising)

  • you can't really catch them all. it's more like trade them all. i got most of them by myself and traded for the rest. now all i have to do is wait for the last two to be released.

    I used an Action Replay to get Shaymin, Arceus, and Darkrai, but every single other pokemon I got was by events or catching them normally.
