PC boxes.
 
how does everyone organize theirs?
I'm really stuck on how to sort everything.
I've tried doing it by levels, by number, and by type, but I don't like any of them.
anyone have any suggestions?

AztecSunshine September 6th, 2007 3:44 AM

i do it like this:
rare pokes: (mamgmortar, gallade,garchomp etc.)
shinies:
legenderies:
ev trained:
and a few boxes for the rest of them to collect dust

nekolexis September 6th, 2007 3:44 AM

Rename your boxes and try putting Lv.100s in one. Eggs in another box, Tradings in another, ^_^


My boxes are preety messed up XD

? September 6th, 2007 3:44 AM

Well When I Get Every Pokemon I'll Sort It By Number Edit: Just How It Is In Pokédex Book..

Oni Link September 6th, 2007 3:47 AM

ah cool,
thanks everyone ^_^
there's probably loads of interesting 'box-organizing-methods' out there.

? September 6th, 2007 3:50 AM

Mhm, Some People Probably Sort By Most Fave - Least Fave :), Btw Thanks On1 LiN|< For The Pokemon

Oni Link September 6th, 2007 3:52 AM

I really wouldn't be able to decide, if I was organizing them like that!
"hmmm, Elekid. how much do I like him on a scale of one to ten? :\"

thanks very much to you too! :D

nosferatu September 6th, 2007 4:01 AM

now i have national dex i just sort it by region

Oni Link September 6th, 2007 4:06 AM

that's exactly what I'm doing now,
even before I read this post ;)

Lumine September 6th, 2007 4:12 AM

just rename the boxes easy as that, i release all my weak junks though XD

Oni Link September 6th, 2007 4:19 AM

I don't like releasing them if I get attached to them though "/
what have you renamed yours?

Lol I release like 4 oddishes the other day, well this is mine, Junks, Trash, Garbage, XtraJunks and so on then the good ol shinies and ev trained pokeys in the boxes called Awesomes and G'Slaves

Oni Link September 6th, 2007 4:37 AM

lol! 'Xtrajunks'
four boxes of rubbish pokemon? that's a lot!

Lumine September 6th, 2007 4:44 AM

thats where I put my junks lke tangrowth, flareon, scyther etc you get the idea, and yeh the easiest way to organize your boxes is to rename them =D

Oni Link September 6th, 2007 4:55 AM

you think they're junk?!
obviously we have a very different opinion on which pokemon we like then :D

nekolexis September 6th, 2007 8:07 AM

-hugs Haze the Flareon- Don't read the post, you're not Junk >_<"


Everyone has their opions on which pokemon they like I guess.

Radikaru September 6th, 2007 8:09 AM

Box 1 is Pokémon I don't wish to trade/breed.
Box 2 is Pokémon I want to trade/breed.
Box 3 is full of eggs, organized by alphabetical type based on the Pokémon they'll become.
Box 4 is rares and legendaries.

Oni Link September 6th, 2007 8:13 AM

wow, can you really fit all your pokemon in 4 boxes? or is that just an approximation?

Radikaru September 6th, 2007 8:15 AM

At some point, I couldn't.
Back then, though, they were just placed in the boxes randomly. xD

But I gave most of them to other people who wanted them. :P

Oni Link September 6th, 2007 8:16 AM

that's what I'd like to do :]
I like your organization methods!

shalashaska September 6th, 2007 8:26 AM

this is how i have mine sorted

box 17: trading pokemon
box 18: legendaries
box 1: evolved pokemon
box 2: evolved pokemon
box 3: evolved pokemon
box 4: evolved pokemon
box 5: evolved pokemon
box 6: pokemon i still need to evolve
box 7: pokemon i still need to evolve
box 8: pokemon i still need to evolve
box 9: pokemon i still need to evolve

oh and in box 6-9 i have them ordered as followed

pokemon evolved by levels
pokemon evolved by happiness
pokemon evolved by trade
pokemon evolved by stones

Oni Link September 6th, 2007 8:30 AM

that's a pretty good method, shalashaska.
at the moment I have my boxes: Kanto, Johto etc. and then each box ordered by number,
but I might integrate it with your method and make seperate boxes for pokemon that need to evolve, etc.

shalashaska September 6th, 2007 8:33 AM

yeh i find its easier to find certain pokemon when i need them, when i complete my pokedex im gonna put the in numerical order so for example

box 1: venasaur, charizard, blastoise, butterfree ETC but i will still keep the legendaries aside in a different box in numerical order aswell

Oni Link September 6th, 2007 8:35 AM

cool. :]
I think that's pretty much made my mind up, (unless someone can possibly suggest something even better!)
thanks!

hey link.
I have boxes organised like this
New (and i have my box set to this everytime i leave so that whenever I catch something it goes in this box)
1-9
10-19
20-29
30-39
40-49
50-59
60-69
70-99
100
Shinies
Do Up (pokemon i wish to train up soon)
Junkbox (load of crap i trade away when i get/give freebies - usually bidoof)
Legend (legendary pokemon box :) )
Unown
Tradebox (box of pokemon that i want to trade away)
Breed (pokemon im currently breeding)
Natalya (a box for my girlfriend to catch pokemon and keep them :) )

works pretty well until i get more shinies xD

- simple and easy for someone as simple as i x]

Oni Link September 6th, 2007 9:57 AM

that's cool,
I like the idea of leaving it on the 'new' box so new pokemon go in there,
and a box for your girlfriend :]

Rayl September 6th, 2007 10:03 AM

makes sense... I dont end up with all ma gfs pokemon everywhere if she plays on it :] plus then i can remember what she caught.
also, your level 5 starlys you're out catching (dont ask me why you'd be out doing that... i have no idea...) end up all in one box called NEW :] then you organise them thereafter. :D
i dunno. something that seemed to make sense to me back in the days of GBA :P
*sigh* memories

Oni Link September 6th, 2007 10:09 AM

I just generally like organizing Pokemon!
unless you're moving all the pokemon from one box to another that's like seven boxes away,
and you have to keep withdrawing, moving boxes, and then depositing over and over!

punch bag September 6th, 2007 12:07 PM

I sorted mine by

pokemon
pokemon
rare
evil looking pokemon
green pokemon

Razer302 September 6th, 2007 12:08 PM

I used to have them sorted by Type. But it takes to long when swapping Pokemon that I just have them any were and look for them. Takes me a while to find the one I want though.

Oni Link September 6th, 2007 12:11 PM

I though about that one, but the thing that stopped me was when pokemon have two types I wouldn't know where to put them.

murasamune September 6th, 2007 11:01 PM

when pokemon have two types you could make it more simple and put like

Gengar who is type 1: ghost
type 2: poison

put him in the ghost box

i want to get them all organized 1-483 (is that the right amount?)
but then i think about how many extra spots are gonna be taken up by pokemon who have 3 evolutions... sigh

when i complete my pokedex im going to orer my pokemon in national pokedex order so pokemon with 3 evolutions or more will be easy to sort say magmar for example, in pearl it has another evolution magmotar so insted of putting it in with the johto pokedex it will be in the sinnoh pokedex in the 400's another is eevee it has evolutions in 3 different pokedex's so just list the in nuber order

murasamune September 6th, 2007 11:15 PM

that works for pokemon like that
however pokemon with 3 evo's in the same game are a pain
it looks cool i think, but it takes up 3 spots
bulbasaur, ivysaur, venusaur, charmander, char...something..,charizard..
etc

Ayano Katagiri September 6th, 2007 11:37 PM

Well I personally set my out so it's easier for me to deal with.

1) A Carry Pack, of all the Pokemon I commonly use and train.
2) Special Pokemon (i.e Legendaries, shinys...)
And then the rest of my Pokemon which I don't really use are left classified under the types.

xxFrozenFlower September 7th, 2007 4:34 AM

I know it's useless to post this, but I still will because I'm lame. xD
I organize by types. It's worked for me in Silver/Gold/Crystal. It's worked for me in Ruby/Emerald. And now it's working for me in Pearl.
My first box is always Bug and second is always Water. Tradition xD Nostalgia.
Then I combine some types, like Psychic/Ghost and Dark/Poison or whatever. I have a box for legendaries and my few events called Paradise! and a box for my shinies, as well as two boxes for eggs that always fill up fast x__x
I don't do by levels or anything. I personally like sorting by types. And yeah, like mentioned, I put the Pokemon in a box depending on their first type. Like, Gyarados doesn't belong in a flying box. Gyarados belongs in Water. D;

Shiver September 7th, 2007 8:45 AM

I have organised my boxes by type ( Water, Fire, etc. ) in my Diamond to help me find my pokemon, since I breed quite a lot and it speeds up the process of find the right Pokemon :)

Willbey September 7th, 2007 9:06 AM

I do it like this:

Teambox...(Pokemon that can be in my team and must be level 100)
Rarebox...(Rare pokemon&legendary pokemon)
Unownbox...(All types of unowns)
Shinybox...(Shinies only)

And, the rest of the spare boxes are:
Junkboxes...(Junk pokemon only, just for the pokedex)

nekolexis September 7th, 2007 9:07 AM

So far my boxes are:

Lv.100s
Trains (Those that need training)
Shinys
Legends
legends 2 (I filled up my 1st box)
Breeders
Breeders
Breeders
Junks
Eggs
Shinys


I had all my pokemon scattered in one point actually.

Zungie September 7th, 2007 1:19 PM

I recomend renaming BOX1 as "Unsorted" because you can just catch things and leave them in there. That way your mess is automatically tidey!
Clever 'eh?!

:P

Oni Link September 7th, 2007 1:21 PM

pretty nifty that one, zungie ;)

Zungie September 7th, 2007 1:26 PM

I know. I do it because I clone a fare bit, which results me in having my 1st bike rammed really randomly. As long as you don't leave it unsorted for more then 1 week, it should be fine.
If it overflow's, it just means your lazy..

Bathing Ape September 7th, 2007 1:46 PM

I have a Legendaries box, Trades box (Pokemon i recieve via wi-fi), Team box (for Pokemon i have trained to be in my team for battles) and Wild (Pokemon i randomly catch)

I am yet to have any shinies :(


Oh i also have a box for Pokemon holding all the Arceus plates too :D

spam September 7th, 2007 1:56 PM

I have a box just for untrained weak Pokemon and the rest of my boxes are just Pokemon dumped there just because I don't feel like organizing them.

Yeah...I'm THAT unorganized.

Gigatongatlingman September 7th, 2007 1:59 PM

Mine's are...
Captured pokes
junk
junk(2)
junk(3) again...
Shinies
Shinies(2)
Legends(junk)
and... nothing...

Shiny Umbreon September 7th, 2007 2:05 PM

I normally keep all final evolutions, and sort them (not by type)

For example, I have "Grass" (Bibarel, Linoone, Pidgeot, Venusaur), "Forest" (Lopunny, Raichu, Arbok, Sceptile), "Water" (Mantine, Seadra, Floatzel, Blastoise), "Volcano" (Rapidash, Ninetales, Arcanine, Typhlosion), "Urban" (Umbreon, Blissey, Delcatty, Persian).

The special boxes are "Unown", "MinorLeg" (Articuno, Entei, Regice, Mesprit, Regigigas), "Legends" (Mewtwo, Manaphy, Groudon, Dialga), "Other" (Stupid Pokémon, Egg Move Fathers) and "TeamPkmn" (Pokémon from my travelling team are left there when replaced in the party, and Pokémon from my battle them are there when I don't use them).

Zungie September 7th, 2007 2:13 PM

Referring to pokémon as "Junk" is a bi unfair. You might as well release it if it's REALLY "junk".. That really grates on me...
Anywho I just wanted to add that this is my BOX's in order:
Unsorted, Trades[Being pokémon I need to trade or maybe that are cloned], Trades, Misc.[Unowns and a few Diamond only pokémon], Misc., BOX 6-10, Shiny's, Shiny's, Shiny's, Uber's, Uber/100, Leg's, Leg's, Leg's.

I hope I helped :)

Oni Link September 7th, 2007 2:20 PM

I know what you mean about the Junk thing!
everyone seems to have boxes full of them; if you just want them for your pokedex can't you release them?
thanks for the help though everyone!

Zungie September 7th, 2007 2:53 PM

[Especially me]
-Cough-
Only jokeing :P
I got a few tips myself..
Also, before I go to bed..
If you arrange your BOX's each side of the 1st BOX, it take last time to scroll to it.
LAST tip of the day: Use "Move Pokémon" istead. Trust me, it saves forever!!

Oni Link September 7th, 2007 3:05 PM

that's what I do too!
my trades/team/to evolve boxes are to the left of the first Box.
and I never use Withdraw or Deposit, I always use Move.

Ichida September 7th, 2007 3:08 PM

Box 1: Battle Pokemon / Move Breeders / Etc
Box 2: Pokemon #1-30
Box 3: Pokemon #31-60
Box 4: Pokemon #61-90
etc...
Box 18: Pokemon #480-493

:P

Bishopk September 7th, 2007 3:40 PM

>.>
...
That's Ichida for you.
Me?
1-6: Random
7: legends
8: clones
9: minor breeding projects
10: teams
11-15: speed breeds (pokes I bred around a whole box of)
16, 17: Ditto
18: Ditto of specific natures.

TwilightBlade September 7th, 2007 3:46 PM

Hmm... I sort them by uhh what they are...

1 Junk/team/random
2-9 Shiny
10-12 Legend/event
13 Favorites/team

Why don't you just delete the "junk," then? <.<;

Black Ice September 7th, 2007 6:04 PM

1-5 Junk or 'surplus'
6-7 Battlers and Pokemon I want to be battlers
8-9 Legendaries
11 Breeders

Darkblade September 7th, 2007 6:30 PM

Giving them away for Bidoofs would be better... And I've been doing that for the past week via the GTS. One box is almost empty and I'm gonna soon fill it up with more shinies. |D

And my Diamond has like 4 boxes of room so I'm not like gonna die or something... ;P

du1387 September 7th, 2007 8:37 PM

I arrange mine to be semi numeric.

I have them mostly arranged in numerical order with slight differences in that I group the families of pokemon together, like pichu, pikachu, and raichu.

If I have more than one of the same pokemon, I just put them in order to level from lowest to highest.

Oni Link September 8th, 2007 2:09 AM

@twilightblade: did you offer a Lv 9 and under Mew on the GTS the other day?
because I raced out of the GTS centre after reading that someone wanted just a bidoof for a Mew.
unfortunately I didn't get there quick enough :[

nosferatu October 9th, 2007 12:05 AM

i sort mine like this kanto johto hoenn sinnoh repeat but the last three boxes are eggs and breeded

Drakorn October 9th, 2007 5:23 AM

Mines organised as:

Box 1 = Shinies 1
Box 2 = Shinies 2
Box 3 = Shinies 3
Box 4 = Water 1
Box 5 = Water 2
Box 6 = Yellow
Box 7 = Brown
Box 8 = Green
Box 9 = PurpPink
Box 10 = Red
Box 11 = Black
Box 12 = White
Box 13 = Egg
Box 14 = Hatched
Box 15 = Approved
Box 16 = Not Want
Box 17 = Box 17
Box 18 = EV/Team

The colours meaning what colour the pokemon are obviously.

Approved means that, whenever eggs are hatched and if i want to keep it I leave it in the approve box and wait a day or so to see if i want it or not.

kohei October 9th, 2007 6:55 AM

People actually sort their PC boxes?! This is new news to me.

In all seriousness, my boxes aren't sorted, but I use those symbols to mark my guys. Heart for party/PvP Pokemon, Star for traded ones, and circle for those brought over from 3rd gen.

Milke October 9th, 2007 1:14 PM

I don't see the problem with type most pokemon are two types anyway, and will mostly fit. Also, you can release pokemon you know, ones that you have doubles of or even ones you have no need for or can catch easily later

frogjitsu October 9th, 2007 1:27 PM

I sort my boxes like so:

Eevee: Where I keep all of my eeveelutions
Trade: Pokemon I'll trade
Team: Pokemon I regularly use for Battle that aren't in my party
Backup: Pokemon I may use occasionally for battle.
Breed: Pokemon I use for breeding.
Legendary: Where I keep Legendary pokemon
Other: Default box for newly caught pokemon & pokemon I don't use

airconditioning October 9th, 2007 1:43 PM

Box 16: Dittos of assorted natures, sorted by nature.
Box 17: Assorted Legendaries, sorted numerically.
Box 18: All 28 Unown, sorted alphabetically.
Box 1-6: Random Pokemon that don't see much use, that will most certainly be stored on D/P Box, if it ever comes out.
Box 7: A few random Pokemon, and Pokemon that are still used on a regular basis.

Everything else is empty, however a few boxes are used to store bred Pokemon. However, after every breeding project, I make sure to clean them out.

x BlonDe x October 9th, 2007 1:51 PM

I sorted my boxes pretty easily. I put my favorite and Legendary Pokemon in one box, (almost full >.<) my starters in another (Chimchar, Mudkip, ect..) My eggs in a box (good idea to put a picture or whatever and write down which one to remember your eggs) all my low level ones in the other box. I also put them in order from colour, so they're like a rainbow. xD

I did the exact same thing except that my 18th box are my battle ready pokemon, after the third sinnoh box, there are two boxes for like extra stuffs(eggs, misc. EV trained pokemon, storage, etc.), after those two are two boxes for pokemon obtained through the GTS, and the box 17 is for ditto(and my slugma X_X).

Gymnotide October 15th, 2007 6:07 PM

I do it by Pokemon habitats.
Yeh. I have a beach full of misbred Eevees and Elekids. They live there.
