How Do You Organize Your PC Box?
 
I do mine by Number, leaving one box I call "Unique" that holds my shineys, MLG Team, And EV trained individuals

Suzune April 24th, 2010 6:46 PM

My Boxes Were :
Things I caught for no reason
Legendaries
Events
Shinies
Pokemon I used for battling

That was really all I needed in DPPt

shuppet88 April 24th, 2010 7:05 PM

I divide my boxes by type: Water is under the sea, Flying is in the sky, and I made Normal type be at the beach for some reason.

EJ April 24th, 2010 7:08 PM

I do:

Random pokemon
Pokemon good for breeding
Legendaries
Pokemon in training
Trained pokemon

Pokeyomom April 24th, 2010 7:26 PM

Basically I named all the boxes from a play of words off Celebi. I had boxes such as celexabee, celebaci, celebrexi, celebrabee, hellebi, etc, etc (can't remember off the top of my head). Then I proceed to put my pokemon in a completely random order. My storage boxes have no sense of cohesion..:C

Guy April 24th, 2010 8:01 PM

Since each game offers a way for you to organize your PC boxes, and not only HG/SS specifically, I'll just move this to General Pokémon Gaming.

As for me, I organize each box by Pokémon types, and then leave an extra for my EV'd train Pokémon.

Impo April 24th, 2010 8:42 PM

i organize teams, legends, and unknowns :)

Zebeedoo April 24th, 2010 9:02 PM

I organize mine by type. Though my first few boxes are named "Mine" (for Pokemon I like to use), "Eggs" (for eggs obviously), "Shinies" (for my shinies) and "Legends" (for all my legendaries).

Prince_Rafeki April 24th, 2010 9:49 PM

Mainly by type, I find that the easiest.

wee187 April 24th, 2010 10:02 PM

I don't organize my boxes. xD I find it far too tedious when I only end up using 6 main pokemon anyway.

Tree_x April 24th, 2010 10:21 PM

i organize my boxes by tier lol NU Pokes Ou Pokes Bl Pokes UU Pokes and Eggs

Pebblycone April 25th, 2010 4:59 AM

I used to make each box a diff type.

But now, because I am actually trying to catch ALL the pokemon, I cant be stuffed.
So I just leave them where they are after catching them, except for my unknown, when I get the legendarys and when/if i get shinys.

Limey-chan April 25th, 2010 6:45 AM

I haven't got them organised atm, but at one stage I had them organised by level.

thedestinedblade April 25th, 2010 6:54 AM

Never bothered organizing them. Though it is a bit annoying finding a pokemon you constantly swap when you have 6 boxes filled.

Xyrin April 25th, 2010 7:11 AM

I just leave them the way they come. I have an Unown, egg, and Pokemon I will trade.

Kon~ April 25th, 2010 7:48 AM

I have a direct split: Captured and Trophy.

All Pokémon that are unspecial go into Captured, whether I captured them or not, and all special ones go into Trophy, including shinies, EV'd, Legendaries, my Magby with Flame Body and Ditto (for breeding) and my Pokéathlon Speed team, which consists of Riolu, Ponyta and Staryu.

Giratina ♀ April 25th, 2010 8:07 AM

I used to organize them by type on my "storage file", but after that was fried I didn't try and organize them again. Mostly because I'm lacking another storage file.

shookie April 25th, 2010 8:51 AM

I organize by type, with one box for "incoming" Pokémon, where I also stash my six most commonly used. I tend to get spillover in a lot of them, like Normal and Rock types, so I'll either stick them in their secondary types (ie Anorith go in Bug) or on my Pearl.

myrrhman April 25th, 2010 9:51 AM

Originally I organized them by Name. Then, when I started playing Diamond, I organized them by type. Then, when I started trying to complete my Pokedex (and trying to get a copy of every Pokemon so I could finish HG's Pokedex in like an hour) I organized by number, with one extra box for eggs/shinies/ev trained pokes.

The Red Chain April 25th, 2010 9:53 AM

I don't organize for the most part.
I have several boxes just full of random stuff and random EV'd and IV'd Pokemon thrown around in Platinum
The only things I organize are my shiny Pokemon and my Synchronizers.
I have one box called "Chained" and another next to it called "Special".
Special box is for any Pokemon gifted to me that are of use.. like shinies or event Pokemon. Chained speaks for itself.
After Special is the "Sync" box half full of Synchronize Abra. XD

In Pearl nothing is organized..
I have like 3 boxes and a quarter full of shinies that were either hatched, SRed, traded, or chained.
The rest of the boxes are random crap. X3;


tehlights April 26th, 2010 7:57 PM

Mine are:
Teams
Sync (stands for Synchronize)
EV'd
Shinies
ShinyLegend
EV'dbyMe
Events
2BeEV'd

Duplicates of some. =)

Hamilton April 27th, 2010 3:08 AM

well i use the same team throughout the game, so there's no reason to organize them specially- i just do it by types

Blaziquaza April 28th, 2010 12:58 AM

On Plat I organised by Nat. Dex, I'll do that on HG when I hit 150.

CoffeeWolf April 28th, 2010 4:31 AM

In the past I organized by type, but one box was often too small for a whole type. Now I don't organize them at all, except i have a LEGENDS box, a shiny box, and a starters box. I also have a box for Pokemon I'm about to EV train, and a box for my in-game party to be seperated from the rest

Cherrim April 28th, 2010 4:40 AM

I'm still sort of on-and-off attempting a living Pokédex in Diamond, so I have my boxes set up 1-30, 31-60, etc. Then I have a box for extras. (Actually, I think I ported everything from 31-80ish to Pokémon Ranch so that I could have two boxes of Cherubi... hmm.)

In earlier gens, I always organized by type. In HG, I haven't decided how to organize things yet. :s I'm halfway through filling box 2 and everything is just in the order I catch it, pretty much.

EmeraldSerenade April 28th, 2010 4:45 PM

I organize my boxes by type most of the time... I have way too much time on my hands :/

Toxic Potato April 28th, 2010 4:49 PM

I don't. I usually only use 4-6 Pokemon throughout the entire game.

DoctorFred April 28th, 2010 4:52 PM

Before National Dex - By Habitat
After National Dex - By Generation

RuRuBell April 28th, 2010 5:06 PM

I sort them by type, and normally I pick a matching background too. xD

EX. The Fire box has got a volcano-type background, Grass has a meadow, etc.

BleuVII April 28th, 2010 6:18 PM

I have one box for trophies, one box for starter pokemon (all 12 original starters plus the electric pseudo-starters [Pikachu, Mareep, Elektrike, Pachirisu, Shinx, etc.]), one box for my team and pokemon I plan to do something with in the near future, one box for Eevee and all its forms, one box for the masses of duplicate pokemon I get from the pokewalker, and one box for Unown. The rest of the boxes are for pokemon I just catch for the sake of filling my pokedex.

Dillon_68 April 28th, 2010 7:30 PM

17 Types, Party Pokemon, Unown, and Legends.

ichuesther April 28th, 2010 7:37 PM

In Leafgreen, mine were organized by levels.
For example, one box would be called "Lv 20s" and that would contain pokemon in the level 20 area.
But then this got too hard so I just gave up and threw pokemon in random places. Then that got too hard so I just organized by type.

In heartgold, I barely have any pokemon so ima let that one go for now.

Sweed April 29th, 2010 6:10 AM

I sort Pokemon by type. There is one box though full of favorites or no trades or special Pokes.


Quixestic April 29th, 2010 11:08 AM

Right now, all the boxes for all my current games are soooo unorganised. It's really beginning to bug me, and I think I'll take some time later to attempt organisation. <_<;

Legendaries will probably either be alphabetically or numerically organised in one box, while who knows what will go on with the others. Might have to 'borrow' some of the ideas other people have.

mikey April 29th, 2010 11:28 AM

I don't organize my box in any specific way such as by type, I just put them in Box 1, and when that fills up, Box 2.

Okami Chi April 29th, 2010 11:51 AM

I go by type, but I have a box for teams and legends only. All the rest are type though.

-Okami

Kavii April 29th, 2010 4:43 PM

I label my boxes by what sorts of Pokemon are in it to help me find them easier.

Safari1, Safari2, etc = Safari Zone catches

Getalong = My Getalong Gang (bonus points to whoever gets the reference) which is a group of Pokemon that I switch in and out of during gameplay

InsertNameHere = Box of all the Pokemon a particular person I know has traded to me

Furrets = Box of a bunch of Sentrets and Furrets that I've caught and breeded

IVs = Box of Pokemon with really good IVs - some wild caught some bred

EVs = EV-trained/training Pokemon

The rest of the Pokemon I randomly catch simply land in Box 1, Box 2, etc.

Air Pichu April 29th, 2010 4:52 PM

IVs- Pokemon with good IVs
EV's - Pokemon that are EV'd
Bread - Bred Pokemon
Random - Some random Pokemon
Shinies - Shinies :D

Luck April 29th, 2010 5:39 PM

I organize by type, since I can't be bothered to remember their pokedex numbers.
I have one free box for everything else though, and I try to organize all of them by terms of generation and pure types, respectively.
