    ...and not even versing the Elite Four yet, yeah I'm planning to catch all Unova Pokemon. Not going to catch the Pokemon from other generations though, only if I get them in trades.

    And yeah trading will help me complete the pokedex. Sooo, for the first time I'm aiming to complete the pokdex...XD;

    • no, since of course there will be a third version of the series b and w, spending the time cathing all the pokemans and finishing the pokedex in these versions are pointless. Ill wait till "grey"

    • I tend to catch Pokemon which I deemed 'rare' and hard to fight. In B/W, I don't know what's rare and whatnot so if I see a cool-looking Pokemon, I just catch it. But usually, I don't waste my time catching Pokemon.

    It's worse for my SS though, in which my Pokemon box never had more than 10 Pokemon in them.

    Wow that's a good point....I think you changed my mind by pointing out that obvious facr.

    I planned on doing my national dex...maybe I'll just do the Unova dex in English White and do the national dex in Grey.. =/

    I caught a couple of pokemon during the main storyline, however I left a good few to catch afterwards. Which I've been doing now.

    • I caught mostly for my team. But, I have like 20 others that I caught so I plan on catching em all someday. But my "team" has about 8 pokemon and not just six.

    • I'm only actually catching Pokemon for my team.

    I doubt I'll be catching them all soon -- I'm focusing on completing the game first; Then I'll consider it.

    I caught all the Pokemon up until after Castelia City just because there wasn't that many in the grass/desert/cave(etc) but I've slowed down and only picked up the Pokemon I think are cool looking/interesting or keeping on my team.. But eventually I will go back through and pick all of them up :)

    I catch every Pokemon I run across that I haven't caught before. Also, I run around in an area until I find each different wild species before I move on. The only ones I haven't found are the shaking grass ones, and that's because I haven't seen any shaking grass yet on White.

    I'm pretty much the same. I don't actually know what species inhabit which route but I make sure I have at least one battle per patch of grass. When I beat Ghetsis I had caught around 90 Pokemon.

    I don't feel like catching everyone in my playthrough. I'm not really the "complete the pokedex" kind of guy. I'm more of a "train what you like" kind of person.

    • I think I'm going to collect any Pokemon I see. I normally collected females in my previous games, but this time I'll catch the first gender I see. I'll catch random Pokemon until I find the ones for my planned teams.
