5th Gen The PC Box Problem

[MagCynic]

I'm not sure if this is what the "~30" thing is, but you could also just put the last number that you put in that box. You know the first one starts at 1, and you can check the box before it for the first number of the one you're in if it becomes an issue.

Yeah, it'll take minor fixes like this to get around it. The point is that it shouldn't be necessary at all. From the little I know about programming it's something they would have had to take extra time and effort to program in.

I mean just think about that: They took extra time not to add some minor graphical flourish or other neat detail, but to restrict the player in using numbers for naming their boxes AND to yell at us when we tried.

Well I never used to number my boxes like that XD My boxes were not sorted and were messy ^.^ But I did name boxes like 'Shiny' and 'Legendary', so now it is a bummer I cant do that anymore.

Darn. I liked to creatively name my boxes.:(

Umm... first of all, "Shiny" is still a valid name for a box. Second, "Legendary" has never been valid due to the character limit.

I'm sorry. I still can't get over this stupid, stupid design decision. If you're arranging in order of the National Dex, you're gonna use 001-030, 031-060, etc.

Limiting it to four digits is just so arbitrary; I hate arbitrary things!

I don't have this issue. I name my boxes:

"Tradees"
"Slaves"
"Team"
"Keepers"
"Rares"

So no issues for me.

I only ever name one box and its the VIP box, containing all my battle Pokes ;)

Why don't you just do Roman numerals? They're pretty easy to use.

Like this post :)))))

I never noticed that cause i only caught a total of less than 200. :| I might try it later...

And this is a bummer when you're really trying to collect all pokemon and arranging them. :(

to the catching, besto luck :)
