Arranging Pokémon boxes in Pearl/Diamond
 
Hi there. I was wondering which is the best way to organise your Pokémon boxes on Bebe's Computer. Do you arrange them by level, type, or some other way? I have always arranged them according to type, such as 'normal', 'fire', 'grass', 'electricity', etc. However it is most unsatisfying when for instance there are more 'grass' and 'water' Pokémon than fit into a box, and I have to find somewhere else to fit them in. Has anyone got any good tips and advice on boxing Pokémon that they'd like to share?

I actually put the pokémon in number order, national dex. In the last box the ones I use or am likely to use.

Micro March 5th, 2009 2:47 AM

I arrange them according to what they are or used for. Like pokemon for battling get one or more boxes, shinies, legends, pokemon you caought for the pokedex etc..

Hah, well I'm in a breeding phase, so I arrange them according to their IVs. Perfect in HP in box 1, perfect in Attack in box 2 and so on.

Currently, I have a box to put Main Party Pokemon into when not in use, a box for Pokemon to send over to Platinum, a Box for Friends Pokemon, and a box for Shiny Pokemon Other than that, I keep them in order by generation.

What I think would be easier, would be to arrange your Boxes into Types.
Hopefully, you will have some spare boxes, use these for Eggs and maybe Pokemon that are important to your team, such as Pokemon that know HM Moves.

In those boxes that you have arranged in types, arrange the Pokemon in numerical order; In the first spot put the highest level and in the last spot the lowest level.

I know this must of sounded confusing but, your boxes will be neatly organised and you'll be able to find a Pokemon easily. For example, say I want level 1 Charmander. I go to my Fire Type box, and go to the bottom and find my Charmander!

It's (I think) that simple!

:]

I arrange the boxes according to type and then the last box I put pokemon I use on teams.

Any Pokemon I plan on using and have trained go into one of the first boxes, so that when it comes to using PBR, I don't have to mess around looking for Pokemon I want to use.

One of the last boxes contains Pokemon I've trained but don't have movesets for, Pokemon I plan to train but can't be bothered to right now, or Pokemon I needed to switch out, while I trained others.

The rest of my boxes are a mess and just have random Pokemon in them. XD I'm planning to use one of my other Diamond/Pearl games as a kind of instant-access, unrestricted storage device for Pokemon I generally don't need. Because I have hardly any room left in my Diamond's PC! XD Exceptions will be those traded to me via GTS or otherwise. I still play the Lottery, in the hopes that I'll get more PP Ups or the grand prize... XD

I arrenge them by level because of me leveling them up.. So yeah.. Also I think the easyiest way to do this is to use the Pokemon Ranch, go to deposit them and you can arange them o.-

Poke_licious March 5th, 2009 1:46 PM

I do male and female, eggs, legends, party pokemon, other, migrate.

Akeraz March 5th, 2009 2:48 PM

I usually start arranging from box 18 backwards.
I have Wi-fi pokémon, then eggs, then Pokémon I'm EV' training.
then the rest are random pokémon.
[I also have a whole box of swinub, and a whole box of hoppips, LOL]

EJ March 5th, 2009 3:03 PM

I usually separate them into Type boxes. Water types on one box, fire in another. Then I have one box where I keep my eggs, and one box where I keep active pokemon/under training.

dotKarma March 5th, 2009 3:12 PM

I don't really have an order for my Pokemon. They just go into a box.
For eggs it's different, though. I arrange them by what Pokemon they are, since I have more than one of each egg most of the time. They also aren't for me most of the time, as I trade eggs for eggs, so it's better I don't get them mixed up.

randomspot555 March 5th, 2009 3:17 PM

Let's see:

I just got Ranch, so there's exactly one box for my shiny EV trained Pokemon, 2 boxes + part of a 3rd for EV trained regular Pokemon, and everything else is for breeding projects.

Before I got Ranch, I had shiny boxes (EV'd first, then non EVd), EV'd boxes, and then a box of all legends in order of national dex #, and THEN events.

But I ranched most of my events and all non-EV trained Pokes and Pokes I never saw myself using.

I plan on going through them with a fine tooth comb because I'm certain a lot of the 3rd gens are hacked.

Heather March 5th, 2009 3:26 PM

I arrange mine by lvl. Then I have a sperate box for my party pokemon, training pokemon, and legendary pokemon.

bearsfan092 March 5th, 2009 5:18 PM

My first three boxes are full of random crap. After that, I have a box for Pokerus infected pokemon so I can spread that around. Then I have two empty boxes incase I need them. After that, I have two boxes for my trade shop. Beyond that are my ditto collection. After that is my project material box, where I store pokemon that I need for certain egg moves and the like. After that is my Battle Box, where I store all my pokemon that are IV Bred, EV trained, Nature Bred, and ready for battle.

BREAKINGBEN March 5th, 2009 5:36 PM

I go numerical, with Box 1 being an "Extra" box to put newly caught Pokemon in and Box 15 as the "Mine" Box (Pokemon that I won't release/trade... basically my favs).

Then Box 2 is 1-30, Box 3 is 31-60 and so on...

~Rose-quartz Iatos March 5th, 2009 5:41 PM

Well, I HAD them by type, but water and normal were overflowing, so I just recently changed it so tehy're organized by the kind of pokemon they'd be in battle.(Wall, phys. powerhouse, ext.) I'll problably switch it back, tho, I liked the type method better.

Lycaeus March 5th, 2009 6:16 PM

The last box is my breeding box (starters etc) and the second to last is my faves box. The rest are currently occupied by random pokes:P

Sheek March 5th, 2009 6:29 PM

I arrange them like this:

Boxes 1-7: Random pokes that I plan to ship to the Ranch
Boxes 8-12: Breeding spitbacks
Box 13: Dittos and EV'd Ubers
Box 14: EV'd Pokemon
Box 15: EV'd Pokemon and Pokemon waiting to be EV'd
Box 16: Stuff awaiting trades
Box 17: Stuff I don't wanna touch at the moment
Box 18: Legends and Shinies

Zennerick March 5th, 2009 7:38 PM

I arrange the boxes by level. For example: 1-10, 11-20, 21-30, etc..

titodsik1 March 5th, 2009 7:50 PM

i just do it by the number its much more organized for me

Palamon March 5th, 2009 7:59 PM

I arrange my boxes in "The time I caught them/obtained them" And I arrange a Pokeradar box. I don't really sort my boxes I think it wastes time in the game and the game "saves a lot of data" which I find annoying sometimes. I also arrange legendary Pokemon in a separate box.
