How do you organize your Pokes?
 
With everything from regular Pokes, shinies, EV'ds, events, and legendaries, I'm starting to get a little overwhelmed on trying to find anything. @[email protected]
How do YOU keep your Pokes organized?

Storm_has_formed March 29th, 2010 12:13 PM

In my party is was low to high level(lowest first, highest last), and in the PC i sorted them based on type, while putting the legendaries together
Edit:No boxes for competitive yet though

Slyfy March 29th, 2010 12:14 PM

A box for each type, and a box for all of the "Ubers."

Moltres111 March 29th, 2010 12:15 PM

Here's how my Platinum boxes are set up.

Box 1: "For trd." Was originally supposed to be a box holding the pokemon I was supposed to trade, but it is now full of random pokes.
Box 2: "Random 1". Read the box name. Very random.
Box 3: "Random 2". Same as above.
Box 4: "Random 3". Same as above.
Box 5: "Legends". Used to hold all my legendary pokemon, from Mew to Arceus.
Box 6: "EVd OU". Held my EVd OU pokes for a while.
Box 7: "EVd UU". Held my Ambipom and my Raikou for a while.
Box 8: "EVd NU". Never held any pokes it was supposed to, since I don't have any EVd NUs.
Box 9: "EVd NFE". Nothing.
Box 10: "Latias :D". An entire box full of my favorite pokemon, Latias, forming a heart.
Box 11: "Trade2SS". A bunch of pokemon holding items that i'm going to trade to SS as soon as possible, since i'm making SS my main game when I get it for... a LOT of reasons.
Box 12: "TrdToSS2". Same as above. Continuing from the last box.
Box 13-Box 16: Normal names. Just random pokes in these.
Box 17: "Giveaway". This box held the shinies I gave away for free (well, almost, I took a few Explosion TMs for them since I have an european platinum, and i'll therefore get an european SoulSilver too) in the trade center a few weeks ago.
Box 18: "Shinies". This box used to hold my shinies, but my shinies are getting sent to SS, so they're now in the "Trade2SS" box.

That's my box system for ya. Very messy, but I don't care. I find my pokes anyway. xD

I just put each Pokemon in a box assigned to their type, and I have one box for all of the legendaries. I always keep my boxes nice and organized ;)

TheGearofWar March 29th, 2010 1:02 PM

Erm, in Pearl they're just in numerical order.
All of the Pokemon actually take up 17 boxes, so I only really have an extra box for like, random stuff.

In Platinum, they're just like scattered everywhere.

And since I plan on getting back into competitive battling in HGSS, when I'm done with SoulSilver I'll just reorganize them according to my Pokemon and the tiers and such.

Tree_x March 29th, 2010 1:04 PM

While i try to keep it organized by type but that never ever works out so there just scattered all over

BHwolfgang March 29th, 2010 1:34 PM

I have a box for a specific type. :)

At times, I would have to make an extra because there are so much in that category. Yes. I'm talking about the Water-type Pokemons.

DXrobots March 29th, 2010 1:36 PM

I I just go by national dex number. and then box 18 is just a bunch of random awesome pokemon

The Girl Once named Tracie March 29th, 2010 1:57 PM

Honestly, I just throw mine together however I please (: On all but one of my games, I have a set team of three or four pokemon, and the others remain forgotten and neglected in my PC box unoless I need them for an HM or something....

Sneeze March 29th, 2010 2:47 PM

On my Diamond I have the first 16 boxes for various types (combined rock/ground/steel into one), the 17th box for unown and the 18th for special (special being anything legendary, shiney, trained or has a HM move). Platinum used and adapted system where I have two boxes for water type, one fresh water, one sea after my water box became overflowed in Diamond (I lost another box to make up for it, possibly Dragon, can't remember) and in exchange of the unown box I have a legendary box leaving the special box just for train, shiney and HMish.

Using the same system on HG as in plat.

.hack March 29th, 2010 2:56 PM

I've always had all type boxes with one Legendary box.
In my team is:
1st:Pokemon currently training
2nd:Lowest team poke. (Not including hm slaves)
6th: Highest team poke. " "

institutions March 29th, 2010 3:04 PM

My boxes are always so unorganized. I also work backwards.
Box 18 - Legendaries
Box 17 - Eevees, Eevee evolutions, Eevee eggs
Box 16 - EVd (Hopefully i'll be filling it up soon.)
Box 14 and 15 - Temp storage of the unwanted natured pokes if breeding for a certain nature/IV.
Boxes 1-13 - Everything else. They fill up as I catch. I never organize these. Though about going by Natl. Dex but decided it was too much work.

reyzn March 29th, 2010 3:27 PM

I tried to organize mine based on type, and I have a bunch of boxes NFT.. but now they're all just scattered.

TrinityLimit March 29th, 2010 3:46 PM

i organize my boxes by legendaries and pokemon i use to battle on wifi. thats all :3

ILoveDragonite March 29th, 2010 4:15 PM

I have 9 badges so far and i have like 4 pokemon in my pc. I don't catch everything i see.

Lua March 30th, 2010 9:04 AM

ooh i order them by pokedex order.

im a bit OCD with it, to be honest..
and i have my shinies and events in a couple of seperate boxes, so there's easy access for drooling.

althouh i have a few rogue riolus scattered all over the place.. i swear they move about when im not looking ..>.>
either that or years of solid pokemon playing has scrambled my brain just a little :D

.тαмєя March 30th, 2010 9:06 AM

I organize mine in types Like Box 1 - Grass, Box 2 - Fire etc.
And then have a few leftover Boxes for my Eggs and such ^^

Sire March 30th, 2010 9:12 AM

I don't organize them. :O

RTHookers March 30th, 2010 9:38 AM

I palpark too many darn Pokemon, ending up in different boxes. Feraligatr from Johto (Faraway Place), Grovyle from Hoenn, Suicune from Kanto...
So they're scattered over. I catch most of 'em to kill some time since most people I battle can't get the time right.
But yeah, finding the particular Pokemon I want is a 1/18 chance it's in that box, 1/50 chance it's the pokemon, and 1% chance I'm lucky >_>

michele March 30th, 2010 2:26 PM

i keep all my legendaries in one box.
and all my other boxes are completely random.

all of my pokemon [in every box], though, is arranged from highest level to lowest level.

malicreet15 March 31st, 2010 9:58 AM

I organize my boxes in a very specific way:

I first do types, (Grass, Fire, Water, Normal, Flying, Dark/Psych, GroRoFiSte, Dragon, Poison, Bug, ect.) which sometime smeans I have to make more boxes in the Grass/Water type because there SO many darn pokemon with that type. This usually occupies 8 boxes or so.

Then there's one for Legendaries.

And I made one just for Evee and its evolutions, though I might move them if I run out of room.

Then I have a box for pokemon I'm waiting to breed ith ditto to get an egg evo or the lower evos.

Then one for pokemon I need to lvl to evolve.

And that usually leaves a few boxes empty for extra storage. I tried once to organize them by lvl when I first got my Platnium, but having to constantly switch them when they lvled drov eme crazy and it's easier to find pokemon based on type.

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ March 31st, 2010 10:50 AM

Mine are somewhat organized. One box is for Pokemon I'm breeding as well as the specific-natured Dittos I use for breeding. Another one contains traded Pokemon I intend to keep, and another has my main party Pokemon. I have a couple boxes devoted to Pokemon I'm willing to trade away.

Back before I completed my Pokedex, I also grouped Pokemon by which ones I still needed to evolve /breed for Pokedex entries and the ones for which their entire evolutionary line was already registered.

myrrhman March 31st, 2010 11:05 AM

I had mine organized by type. But then, I decided to catch all the pokemon. I don't mean filling out the pokedex, I mean having each pokemon on me at all times. So, they're organized by number, with one extra box for shinies, ev trained pokes, rare pokes that i might be able to get something out of, and ones that I just have to trade with my other games so that I don't have to catch someone.

Rue's Lullaby April 1st, 2010 3:39 AM

Everything is just scattered all over the place, Except for box 18 which is my egg, EV and legend box .
