I've never been to one either. :/ That's what happens when you live overseas, and then in the middle of nowhere.

I'd be cool to have a Legendary Pokemon. I've always wanted a Mew and a Celebi. They're cool. ^^
*starts plotting to drag an event over to Kansas* XD

I'll make a proper signature when Pokecommunity gets a proper slogan

I have completed the Pokedex on my Sapphire without cheats but I don't have Jirachi and I have a Deoxys that isn't legit.
EDIT: It took me 1 1/2 of a year to complete my pokedex.


Thanks to Minorthroat0987 for the Riachu unown!

I don't have a cheat cartridge either. :(
No, I don't either but i did the cheat to get Mew in Pokemon Yellow, it worked but i had to start from the begining to get him. I did that for another Pokemon i can't rember but it takes too long, and i just for bored of it.

Because Nintendo wants $$$ so in order to complete Pokedexes legally you need to get another version of the game or have a friend get another version. Also, they keep special Pokemon like Jirachi and Deoxys so you will have to go to their events, which increases the success of the Pokemon franchise. It’s all business :\

So true. Pokemon is a franchise, a huge money-maker in fact. Nintendo will milk it dry >O

It would be nice to see an event over here in England. Though I am going to finish Emerald regardless, I have a Mew and Celebi on Sapphire from my cheat catridge ready to tradem over once I've gotten the rest the honest way. Though I'm still annoyed, there is no point in having these Legendary Pokemon if you can't catch them in the game! I understand about the need of different versions for different Pokemon, Nintendo need the money. But the option to get all the Pokemon HONESTLY should be there! A game you can't fully complete? Whats the point?

Yeah, That would be better if they did them in diffrent countries. I also need Mew and the other legendary Pokemon and i can only get them by doing these cheats~

Exactly what is the point of having these "legendary" Pokemon when they are not available for everybody to get in the games?

Precisely. Though its impossible to do that. And I did get Jirachi and Deoxys (Jirachi from Channel, Deoxys from my cheat catridge again, as the only event ever done in this country was miles and miles away from me, and I was ill the day it was closest...) but I still feel dishonest and annoyed about cheating. But there is no other way. Nintendo need to get their act together and put them in the game! Put only one in! I don't care! Just INCLUDE THEM!

But seriously, no one really cares about catching them all anymore (all 386 I mean). That was a pretty cool goal back in RBY when you only had 151. But nowadays, you need to get two GBA games, a Gamecube game, and tickets to a random Nintendo event. Little kids dont have that kind of money, parents dont want to spend that much, and older players realize that catching em all is pretty pointless.

Hey it may be a hastle getting all the pokemon but when you do get them it probably feels refeshing. I mean Mew and the rest of the legendarys should be very hard to get since they are so rare.

They should put the tickets needed in pokemon card packs.

Anyways, found something interesting.

Thats the entire problem! Nintendo are trying to make too much money out of it! Pokemon is (or was) one of their most successive franchise, and they really are milking it for all its worth. By tradition now, there have been two versions, so thats understandable. But not being able to catch every Pokemon between them...that isn't right. And as for it being "pointless" in catching them all, I disagree, it would be very satisfying to catch them all without cheating for once, I know this, as I got an immense satisfaction for filling my Crystal dex even with the cheating to get a Mew and Celebi.

Maybe, but I get enough satisfaction from Pokemon by simply raising 6 strong Pokemon to Lv. 100.
Now that I think about it, there are cases when the addition of new Pokemon can be a good thing. For one thing, each generation has had a profound effect on competitive battling with all the new moves and new Pokemon and new traits. Currently, Netbattle is getting boring because everyone is using the same Pokemon. When D/P comes out, the battling world will get a refresher and people will be able to try out new things.
Of course on NB, you don’t have to catch or raise any Pokemon since they’re already there.

With the 4th Gen games comin' up It'll be a lot harder to 'Catch 'em all' with 500 odd Pokemon. 0_0
Yeah, but its impossible to catch them all al the moment in the old games. As you need a Nintendo Event to get Mew in the first place so if you live in England its impossible to get Mew unless you do a cheat or use GameShark.

I think its getting out of hand slightly with the making of a fourth generation. That'll probably add two legendaries that can't be caught as well. I think Nintendo should just stop making new Pokemon and make all the old one available. I'd be a lot happier for it. I know a lot of people will disagree with me, but thats just my opinion.
