Catching 'em all?
So, for those who are still going through the story of Black and White, are you catching as many Pokemon as you can on your journey, or are you just catching Pokemon for your team?
I've been catching Pokemon only for my team, I don't really find it necessary to catch every single Pokemon possible as soon as you start your adventure. But the main reason I'm not catching Pokemon is that this is one of the first times, I've played it three times and am still having fun playing through it. Maybe a fter 20 playthroughs, I'll catch every Pokemon from the start. After I beat Ghetsis, I will go through my Pokedex and catch all the Pokemon IN ORDER. Yes, in the order of the Pokedex. It's just something I've always done. So, what about you? |
Through the gameplay, I mostly just carried around the 6 pokemon and my boxes were empty (aside from Victini and Fire monkey)
Since beating the League and plot, I've been collecting pokemon and stuffing my boxes. So, I don't necessarily want to reset this game, but I would like to get Pokemon White and re run that game over and over. (Birthday is coming up :D) |
I guess I never really thought of it but yah I am. Or at least i've been trying to. I think it just came as second nature to try and catch them all. But the sad thing is we need more than 8 PC boxes to keep one of every pokemon. Why Nintendo WHY D;
I think my friend has caught every pokemon he's seen and he's already almost out of room. Then again he has compleated the game and transfered a lot of pokemon from his heart gold. |
I tried to catch one of each pokemon I encountered so when I beat the game I won't have to catch so man to complete the pokedex
|
I've got quite a few pokemon, but I mostly just want to complete the pokedex.
Once my pokedex is complete (has all info on every pokemon(at least in Unova)) I'll actually try to have all the pokemon. I've traded a few already, but they're logged now. =) |

I'm trying to get them all just because I never have before. Not sure what I'm gonna do about starters and legendaries yet, maybe trade for a few min with friends at school, but I would like to get all the ones excepting those caught. I'm grinding for the Elite 4 now, and leveling Pokemon that I need their evolutions for the Pokedex with an exp share as I do so. |
See this team in my sig? Yeah, I'm only using this team completely in the Elite Four. Every pokemon I see I will catch and train it equally, as an example have all my Pokemon Level 17 before the 2nd Gym. I mean, Pokemon's motto is "Gotta Catch'em All!" this will put me at a disadvantage because it will take away from needed EXP (Though Audino fixes this) but puts me at an advantage because I will virtually have a counter for every gym (Multiple counters even!)
If you were wondering, I don't have Pokemon Black yet. |
I go though the game with just my team and then I catch all the pokemon in the dex as something to do after I have completed the main story.
|
This is my playing pattern at every Pokemon game:
-Play through the game once using your starter+HM slaves -Play through the game some more times using different Pokemon -After some months, start working on the Pokedex. So, I'm not working on the Pokedex yet, but I will eventually. |

Once you get to a certain part of the story you get 16, maybe 18 boxes. |
I'm catching Pokémon for my team. Afterward, I'm going to go back and catch everyone else so I can get to work on my epic project to rename all of the Unova Pokémon because... well, Throh and Sawk. Enough said.
|
I'm catching all the Pokemon I find, so it will be easier to fill up my Pokedex. About the not enough space in the box thing, it expands. Once you put one Pokemon in each box, you get more boxes. Eventually you'll have space for 720 Pokemon. More than enough for all the Pokemon in the National Dex.
|
I tend to catch only the Pokemon I like, then after wards I'll go catch more if I feel like it. XD
|
I'll attempt to catch all of the Pokemon right after the main storyline. Before that, I'll just stick to what I'm looking for to add on my team.
|
Yeah I am trying to catch everything, even before the main story is over. I catch anything new I encounter. As of now my Dex shapes us as this Seen 100 Obtained 76.
|
Every single new pokemon I see I catch. I use a AR code for 100% catch rate though, because I get annoyed not catching something and it popping out, or accidently KOing them.
Only cheat I use however. But apart from a couple (Like in one of the caves they are like a 1% chance of appearing) ive gotten all I could. I use a gamefaqs.com faq to make sure I grab all the items etc possible, and to know what pokemon appear. |
Just For My Team,Then Catch Em'
I catch my team first,then I GOTTA CATCH EM' ALL
|
I catch every Pokemon I run across that I haven't caught before. Also, I run around in an area until I find each different wild species before I move on. The only ones I haven't found are the shaking grass ones, and that's because I haven't seen any shaking grass yet on White.
|
I started catching as many Pokémon as I could at the beginning of the game, but... I got reeeeally lazy after about the fourth badge and now I'm only catching Pokémon for my party. The second playthrough, I'm definitely gonna put more effort into catching as many Pokémon as I can, but I ain't catching 'em all because EFFORT. :| and I'm too lazy to trade for the ones I can't get in my game haha.
|
When i started pokemon White i caught everything in sight just to be one step closer to completing the pokedex. As of right now my national dex says
SEEN-313 OBTAINED-233 |
Seen: 116, Obtained: 84.
Playtime: 57:33 ...and not even versing the Elite Four yet, yeah I'm planning to catch all Unova Pokemon. Not going to catch the Pokemon from other generations though, only if I get them in trades. And yeah trading will help me complete the pokedex. Sooo, for the first time I'm aiming to complete the pokdex...XD; |
no, since of course there will be a third version of the series b and w, spending the time cathing all the pokemans and finishing the pokedex in these versions are pointless. Ill wait till "grey"
|
I tend to catch Pokemon which I deemed 'rare' and hard to fight. In B/W, I don't know what's rare and whatnot so if I see a cool-looking Pokemon, I just catch it. But usually, I don't waste my time catching Pokemon.
It's worse for my SS though, in which my Pokemon box never had more than 10 Pokemon in them. |
My first box is already full of Pokemon.
My team has 6 pokemon. Yeah, I'm going to catch them all. |
I've filled about 400 so far.. still a long way to go!

I planned on doing my national dex...maybe I'll just do the Unova dex in English White and do the national dex in Grey.. =/ |
I caught a couple of pokemon during the main storyline, however I left a good few to catch afterwards. Which I've been doing now.
|
I am catching Pokemon for my team and some others too. I am eventually going to catch 'em all too!
|
In black I have caught all pokemons from unova except those 3 events at the bottom with a litte help from some friends and the gts
|
I caught mostly for my team. But, I have like 20 others that I caught so I plan on catching em all someday. But my "team" has about 8 pokemon and not just six.
|
I'm only actually catching Pokemon for my team.
I doubt I'll be catching them all soon -- I'm focusing on completing the game first; Then I'll consider it. |
I caught all the Pokemon up until after Castelia City just because there wasn't that many in the grass/desert/cave(etc) but I've slowed down and only picked up the Pokemon I think are cool looking/interesting or keeping on my team.. But eventually I will go back through and pick all of them up :)
|
I thought no one except me tried to fill the Pokedex. I'll try to once I've beat the Champion and all that post-game extras.

397 caught. Thank god for the pal park and Audino!
|
I don't feel like catching everyone in my playthrough. I'm not really the "complete the pokedex" kind of guy. I'm more of a "train what you like" kind of person.
|
I think I'm going to collect any Pokemon I see. I normally collected females in my previous games, but this time I'll catch the first gender I see. I'll catch random Pokemon until I find the ones for my planned teams.
|
Seen: 495
Obtained: 287 Playtime: 54:36 I no longer have any Pokemon on my platinum, heartgold, pearl, and soulsilver...BUT I WILL CATCH THEM ALL!!!! |

I've actually been catching a lot more than I normally do on a play through. I've also started to breed them. Breeding is more fun than it seems like :P
|
After HG i started playing Emerald and Emerald was the first Pokemon game where I didnt catch everything I saw. I took that new found strategy or habit, whatever you might call it, and applied it to White. I have about 12 or so Pokemon one was used strictly for "Cut" and others were ones I first picked up that I no longer need because I built up stronger Pokes.
Eventually I will go back and catch as many as I can.. But only after I beat the main story. |
I plan to catch them all AFTER I beat the Elite Four :D cbb now, and I want some fun after I beat the E4 too.
|
Yeah, I am catching all the region's Pokemon and evolving them and then getting all the other's traded. Most of my fav Pokes are in Kanto and Hoenn actually. I need to find someone who has my favs, might have to put it in my sig.
|
I've finished the regional Pokedex and I have got 491 on the National. Still quite a bit mor to go though.
|
I'm currently working on the Unova "chapter" of the living Pokedex - I've gotten about 3 boxes full of complete evolution lines, and a bout 2 boxes of uncomplete lines.
Not looking forward to transferring my 492 (never got Darkrai or Deoxys) from Pearl to this game. While going through the game, as always, I caught practically nothing, other than my team, which was even smaller than usual, at only four. |
I catch all the new ones I come across! Except Tranquill, I totally missed him. Vanillite (sp?) was so hard to catch for some reason >.<
|
For the first time ever, i actually choose to catch every pokemon i possible could while playing through the story line.
My reason for this is, that previous i haven't really played the games for more than fun, but now i decided that i wanted to achieve something with this, and not starting to catch them all, when i had beaten the story line seemed like a waste to me, when i was encountering them anyway a long the way. And should probaly mention that i actually enjoyed catching all the pokemon i could on my way up to becoming the Champion. |
I am going to catch them all but I am going to take my time.
|
Well, I started just catching for my team, then I caught some of the things I liked the look of. Now that I'm finished basically everything, story-wise, I just sorta decided it might be cool to try and catch them all. So I've been doing that. Aside from some Unove Pokemon you can only obtain easily via evolution, I've gotten almost everything you can catch in White. I also traded with a friend for the Version Exclusives, and got Victini. My National Pokedex is now 238, which I'm happy with. I'mma try and see this one through, definitely.
|
Catching every pokemon i see! make it easier for when i go bak to catch em all! :D
|
Pokemon R/B/Y/FR/LG/R/S/E/D/P/Pt/HG/SS/B/W:
Pokemon seen 649 Pokemon caught 15 Um... |
I've already posted in this thread but I am so pleased with my efforts I thought I'd post again. I have finally completed the National Dex after 2 weeks! (Well there goes my modesty)
|
Generally I only worry about pokemon I plan to use for battling.
|
My first (and only, lol not restarting it) playthrough in White, I caught it if I didn't have it, pretty much. Wanna complete the region dex at least, like I always do with new generations.
|
Going to try and complete the WHOLE pokedex... I should have everything I need with a well established platinum and gold..
