Wow that's a good point....I think you changed my mind by pointing out that obvious facr.

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.

travisjb1990 March 18th, 2011 2:44 AM

I am catching Pokemon for my team and some others too. I am eventually going to catch 'em all too!

Mimikyu402 March 18th, 2011 6:21 AM

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

Dark Piplup March 18th, 2011 1:40 PM

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.

Giraffe March 18th, 2011 1:49 PM

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.

JooJoobs March 18th, 2011 1:49 PM

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 :)

TheMysteryEgg March 18th, 2011 1:51 PM

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.

I'm pretty much the same. I don't actually know what species inhabit which route but I make sure I have at least one battle per patch of grass. When I beat Ghetsis I had caught around 90 Pokemon.

Jack Kentnon March 18th, 2011 11:40 PM

397 caught. Thank god for the pal park and Audino!

Zeffy March 19th, 2011 12:05 AM

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.

Hikamaru March 19th, 2011 12:41 AM

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.

Same for me.. Well I have around the same and I don't have any pokemon on my HG. Lol took like 2 hours.

lawlercopter March 21st, 2011 1:09 AM

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

Pokemon Master Derrville March 21st, 2011 1:46 AM

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.

King Gumball March 21st, 2011 2:03 AM

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.

♠Dawn Rayne♠ March 21st, 2011 2:04 AM

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.

vaporeon7 March 21st, 2011 2:26 AM

I've finished the regional Pokedex and I have got 491 on the National. Still quite a bit mor to go though.

Zeturic March 21st, 2011 3:45 AM

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.

Himechi March 21st, 2011 4:46 AM

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 >.<

Keizar March 21st, 2011 2:33 PM

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.

tjb90 March 22nd, 2011 6:02 AM

I am going to catch them all but I am going to take my time.

giradialkia March 22nd, 2011 6:10 AM

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.
