What To Do With Useless Pokemon?
 
What do you guys do with useless Pokemon (such as Dunsparce) that clog up your PC? I know that abandoning them is a possible solution but I always feel really, really bad doing that.

I just leave em in the PC. when PokeBank comes out, ill just dump em there and let em rot

jcl October 12th, 2013 5:18 PM

Aww that's kinda mean. Sorry if this sounds like a noob question but what is Pokebank?

BakingBluePotatoe October 12th, 2013 5:34 PM

The PokeBank/Pokemon Bank is a 3ds app coming out in december to transfer Pokemon from older games, as well as be basically be a Cloud Storage Box system (like Pokemon Box/Pokemon Ranch) for the yearly fee of 5$ a month

Keep them for trades. Someone is always looking for a pokemon that you don't like, always. I breed and trade them just like all the others, I just don't use them in battle. Though honestly, I don't find any pokemon useless because of that.

BroChickaBowWow October 12th, 2013 6:38 PM

i just dump all the useless ones in 1 box. when all the other boxes get filled up, i release 'em. or use gts trade center. although that never works haha.

Aeroblast October 12th, 2013 7:56 PM

I just dump them in the box. I've never really had all the boxes full anyways so just keep them.

Or you could trade them over Wonder Trade if they really are a hassle. :P

I keep them in a box called 'Extra' and that's if I have a double of that Pokemon. I organize my Pokemon in boxes by their National Dex number...

Kikaito plush October 13th, 2013 11:19 AM

I release them after I have caught them as I only keep pokemon I want to use in battle.

Hatsuharu October 13th, 2013 12:43 PM

Since Wonder Trade exists in X and Y, I always always send 'em over to someone. I know what you get back might not be that good, the possibility of getting a Pokemon you actually want is better than just releasing unwanted Pokemon.

Zorogami October 13th, 2013 2:10 PM

Box them, leave em, thats pretty much about it

PlatinumDude October 13th, 2013 2:33 PM

I just leave my useless Pokemon in the PC.

pompayyy October 13th, 2013 2:59 PM

(god, I now realize that people hate dunsparce :() I usually only catch pokemon I like, but if there's a useless one that a friend wants, I'll be more than happy to catch it just to trade it.

WhiteKnightL October 13th, 2013 3:03 PM

I keep them in my boxes and use them for casual battling every once in a while.

Palmer-Granate October 13th, 2013 4:15 PM

Useless? If by that, you mean 'partners I seldom use', I just leave em in the PC, the lowest levels, when I sort my pc (excluding the earliest editions, cuz sorting is frustrating when you withdraw/deposit for 10 min straight) I put all the lowest levels at the front, and sort from there. The further down the Boxes you go, you'll end up seeing my legends and my strongest partners, excluding the lucky six I use on an all-too regular basis.

Well, I'm going to have to say that I love using the underused and really awful Pokémon as my main team members. I dunno, call it some weird part of me, but I love using terrible Pokémon, I consider it a challenge and a real huge amount of dedication worth giving.

Sydian October 13th, 2013 4:57 PM

I only catch Pokemon I plan on using. I may not use them immediately, but I do try to use them at some point in the game, whether for HMs or Pokedex purposes. That being said, I don't really end up with "useless" Pokemon in my PC.

Orifiel October 13th, 2013 6:30 PM

I evolve them to last stage then leave them to PC.
Still, before leaving them to PC, they were useful. So, no hard feelings.

There we go, finally someone else kinda does what I do! I don't feel so left out. Just remember that Feebas evolves into an amazing Milotic. I always wanted a Milotic. Maybe one of these days I'll use Feebas. Either way ... somehow I got sidetracked and your post reminded me about that. So thanks~

Hikamaru October 13th, 2013 7:10 PM

I still catch them and evolve them for Pokedex data, then dump them in the PC.

Blasphemous, Dunsparce is awesome!

...Why couldn't they give him an evolution! ;-;

I just don't catch them or box them forever, or release them so they're registered on my dex as captured.

mozartm99 October 13th, 2013 8:53 PM

TO THE BOX FROM WHENCE YEE CAME!!!!!!

But seriously, I tend not to catch useless pokemon.

Firox October 14th, 2013 12:43 AM

I catch them so they can register in my Pokedex, in the next nearby town I release them back in the wild.

Majority of my boxes are empty, I just keep the Pokemon I will need for trade (between one of my Pokemon games to another - as I don't have WiFi), or breeding

Or for rotation, we can only have 6 Pokemon at a time, sometimes I like to give other Pokemon a try so I keep them around, the Pokemon I like I will leave temporarily in the PC and give the new Pokemon a try. If it doesn't work out with the new Pokemon it will get released back in the wild.

Pendraflare October 14th, 2013 1:55 AM

Some of the Pokémon I catch early on I don't like to release for some reason. =(

But others i'll get rid of eventually if necessary. If i'm trying to complete my Pokédex or something, then my boxes will be pretty packed.
