Will you catch them all?
 
So X and Y have the biggest amount of Pokemon in any Pokemon game to date.

Over 400 pokemon are in the game and with the pokedex being split into three seperate areas, all three being large enough to be a single pokedex themselves, it proves the biggest challenge to catch em' all fanatics to date.

There are 151 in Central, 153 in Coastal and 151 in Mountain, so that's 455 in total!

Will you catch them all?

alisaie October 18th, 2013 11:14 AM

I'm actually working on completely it, yeah. I have all the Pokemon I can catch in the Central region (not including evolutions because I can just evolve their pre-evo) so I just needs to evolve/trade to complete that part of Kalos. Working on catching all the Coastal (plus like six-seven other eevees) region now. Though I should probably actually beat the game aha.

Darkwing Ducklett October 18th, 2013 11:16 AM

Absolutely; I'm working on it right now from the start of the dex. I don't really consider my game complete until I have one of every type of Pokemon in my boxes. It's annoying I'll have to wait until December to fully complete X, but since there are only something like 150 Pokemon actually missing from the game (I think, once you take Friend Safari etc into account) and about a third of those are Legendary anyway, there is plenty to do.

The Doctor October 18th, 2013 11:16 AM

Yeah, I beat the game ages ago and I'm working on the Central at the moment, it's pretty difficult. I've got all the Eevees, that was the first thing I done.

Theres about 200 - 250 missing

metalhand October 18th, 2013 11:18 AM

Yes thats what I'm trying to do. I first of all try to get all the pokemons that can mega evolve, and then I will get the rest.
The friend safari really useful for that, one user here got wartortle in his safari, so it save me some trouble in looking for one, and in wonder trade I got Pinsir which is eexclusive to X(I got Y). They really help you this gen to fill the pokedex.

SpokeyDokey October 18th, 2013 11:24 AM

I am working on it. As a result of WT, breeding, and exp-share the process is quicker than I had anticipated.

I started with Chespin and Charmander, I have all the Kalos Starters and Kanto starters after 5 minutes when I chose to get them. It's really easy if you know the tricks.

blue October 18th, 2013 11:33 AM

I'm currently playing through Y, just obtained my first badge to be more specific. I've got the guidebook too so that definitely motivates me to catch em' all, I've currently collected 25.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire October 18th, 2013 11:34 AM

I'm trying to...not sure how long it'll take but I'm filling all three Kalos dexes...

TwilightBlade October 18th, 2013 11:35 AM

I'm catching a lot as I go. I have 70 Pokeballs and 30 Great balls. I have two badges and I'm working on filling the second box.

The Doctor October 18th, 2013 11:43 AM

I have Y and I'm currently going from Route to Cave to catch them.

I'm getting X soon too so I'll pick up the Exclusives there as well.

Kikaito plush October 18th, 2013 11:43 AM

I am going to catch them all as I like to complete the dex.

This is the first time I'm making the effort to complete the dex. I think I done it once before but I wasn't really trying.

I'm so in love with X and Y that I'm looking for reasons to keep playing.

Cyclone October 18th, 2013 11:56 AM

Why yes, yes I will. They have left very few instances of Pokémon appearing in multiple areas (that I've seen thus far) and, therefore, you run into new Pokémon literally everywhere. I will be keeping a steady supply of Pokéballs to go after them all, then hope I can find an opposite game legendary on offer. Then, in December, I'll import whatever remains that is not in Kalos.

Negix October 18th, 2013 12:09 PM

For the first time, I will complete the pokedex. I've played throughout the whole game clocking in 58 hours before the league and have captured every Pokemon on every route. All that's left is evolving, trading, friend safari and exclusives.

Blueredemption October 18th, 2013 12:11 PM

i'm going for my first time completing the national dex, i usually don't but since theirs not many things to do after the elite 4 i got to find other things to distract me :/

Sabrewulf238 October 18th, 2013 12:12 PM

I probably will attempt it. I caught around 120 pokemon in the main story alone so I have a good start.

HUF_DBC October 18th, 2013 3:16 PM

This is the first game that I'm actually trying to complete the pokedex haha. Wish me luck!

Is the guidebook actually useful? I heard that the index of Pokemon was taken out of the back and it's basically a pamphlet with vague statements, and "do it my way but if not then whatever" kind of guide. Could you possibly elucidate on its contents?



On the other hand yeah I plan on completing this Pokedex! I think it's always fun to have all them monsters, gives you A LOT more to play with!

Squirrel October 18th, 2013 4:36 PM

I'm trying my best to catch them all! On the 6th gym now and I've caught well over 250 Pokémon so hopefully I'll manage to keep it up and fill up that Pokédex. Several more routes to go and then I'll have access to the friend safari etc so I'm optimistic, but I don't doubt that there'll be some really tricky ones to add in like the previous event legendaries. Catching them all is my goal though, yes!

Decimosoma October 18th, 2013 5:22 PM

I never really had the chance to complete the Pokédex due not having wifi and all. So finding Pokémons was really out of the question back then. But i'm getting wifi (finally) next week and completeting the dex will be slowly but surely.

Iceshadow3317 October 18th, 2013 6:13 PM

Yep, I am in the process of catching all of them now. Did it in W and W2 and I am going to do it again. Gonna try to avoid using Pokebank as much as possible though, but some I will have no choice, but to send over unless I trade in GTS.

Tsutarja October 18th, 2013 7:14 PM

I don't really have intentions on capturing all Pokémon at all.. never have and I probably never will.

dlanijer October 18th, 2013 7:18 PM

My (fairly lofty goal) is to actually catch all the Kalos Region monsters.. all of them contained in REGULAR balls and/or Premier balls. Oh, but I've been VERY tempted to use those Ultra Balls and Great Balls and what not that I find.. very, very tempted.

Hiatus October 18th, 2013 8:19 PM

Catching all Pokémon requires a lot of time, motivation, patience, and skills. I do have the skills to catch every Pokémon, and I have the patience as well. But time and motivation—I simply don't have. I'm extremely busy nowadays, as I have a job and am required to attend college on the side. d: I've lost all of my motivation in capturing all Pokémon five to six years ago, when playing Emerald. Pokémon Emerald was the last game that I've ever tried completing the PokéDex on. I wasn't able to get the job quite finished, but I was close. Very close. I was lacking only ten to fifteen Pokémon, and if I somehow managed to get my hands on them, I would've gotten the PokéDex done successfully. My friends advised me to use Action Replay to capture those Pokémon, but decided not to listen to them. Cheating would have made the task way too easy, and it wouldn't have given me the same feeling as doing things legitimately.

I eventually decided to give up on finishing my PokéDex. Why? Because Pokémon Diamond and Pearl were released by then, which caused me to shift my focus completely away from the goal.
