    I usually like catch as many Pokemon as possible to fill out the Pokedex but depending on the Pokemon, I may release them or leave them in PC. I also tend to catch at lease one male and one female of the same Pokemon, unless they're like Tauros or Miltank, then I just catch one with a good nature xD.

  • Of course I dump them in my PC! I'm FAR too lazy to release every single Pokemon I catch and don't train. That would be... almost every Pokemon I catch. The only exception being my six party Pokemon. xD The ones I don't use for battle mostly just rot in my PC. Sometimes I'll use them for breeding or HMs, though.

  • I've never actually attempted to complete my PokéDex. I don't know why, but I was just never up for the challenge. I mostly enjoyed catching the Pokémon I liked or planned on training for my team. So, if I caught a Pokémon I had little interest in when playing through SoulSilver, naturally it would go in my PC Boxes - I have them categorized by type and specialty (i.e. Events or EV'd Pokémon) so they're all nice a tidy in my storage system.

  • I set up a main team of 6, and I catch all other pokemon just to catch them all, and then after I beat the elite 4 and what not, I train them starting with the lowest first to catch up to the others then train them up like that.

  • I catch pokemon that I dont have. I have 2 boxes of eggs and a few boxes of pokemon that have hatched or the pokemon I breed. If I need a pokemon to know a HM I catch one that can use it really fast and then bring it with me when i need that HM. Its better if they can learn multiple. But oh well

    i always catch pokemon to either:
    1. beat the next gym leader or
    2. fill up the pokedex
    if i think it is worthy it will be transferred to black and white. if it has served its purpose i release it.

  • I collect, one of each pokémon, including evolutions. My PC is close to full because of that. The extra box has all my shinies.

  • Usually I don't catch anything I wont use. But now, with black and white coming out, I'm going back on my GBA Games and catching one of everything I can, then I'm gonna get it all on BW once I get the opportunity too. And in SS and Platinum I'm working towards a complete pokedex.

  • Well, for the main story, pretty much. I catch and evolve a few before boxing them away. After the main story, I usually go back and train up a few and breed them. I'm not one to release a Pokémon unless I've been IV Breeding and have too many. I usually don't have more than three of a single Pokémon anyway.

  • I have all the Mons I caught in boxes labeled by type, and one extra for Unown. I catch them only if I happen to notice I haven't, or I particularly want/love that Pokemon.

    There's 720 slots in the Box in Black/White?! That's enough for ALL 649...and more! :D Which is good for all you "catch a zillion and EV them" type people. I don't do that myself that much; I just catch two or three Pokemon tops and then compare stats and choose. EV training is a bit too tedious for me...

    I never release any Pokémon unless I have too many of one kind, and that's usually due to breeding. Generally, I'll catch a bunch of Pokémon for the sake of completing my Pokédex and then just leave them sitting in my PC. I hardly use Pokémon from my PC in my party. So basically, they're there for the sake of collecting them. :x

    When it's my first playthrough of a game, I usually catch a bunch of Pokemon and they sit in my PC. But on restarts, I don't catch any, really, unless I need them as "team fillers" for Gym Battles and such.

    The only time I ever really went on a releasing spree was when I started trading over WiFi for EV'd and Shinies etc, so I had to release all of my "regular" Pokemon except for one box. I needed all of that room..

  • I love to have alot of pokemons in my box and seldom release them unless there are too many duplicates of the same pokemon like what happened when I was trying to breed a modest feebas.... I ended up with 18 of them. I just like to catch whatever I encounter that I do not have or have an ability I want to have.

  • Oh no, I don't do that at all.

    In my Platinum I can't, I'm working to have all 493 Pokès in order into boxes, it takes 17 Boxes. The remaining slots of the 17th Box are for Alternate Forms Pokès, like Giratina, Shellos, Gastrodon, Wormadam, and Rotom. I want to have every form.
    In the 18th Box I have all Unown forms, so I have like 8-9 slots to store thing like my team and else.
    I have all the important stuff in my Heart Gold, in which I have all evolved forms ordered in Boxes, it takes 8-9 Boxes, the rest is for Shinies, competitive team ones, trade bait, eggs, and so on.
