I have boxes full of Pokemon I never use, many of them caught solely for Pokedex completion purposes. I have "prize" Pokemon obtained through trades that I don't do anything with, yet I still have the desire to keep them. Then of course, there are the "failed breeding" ones whose IV's didn't make the cut...

In Pokémon Emerald, which is the version I'm playing the most at the moment, I have two kinds of boxes: Pokémon for PokéDex purposes, and Pokémon for Training. The training ones are almost constantly in use; I'm training up a box of Pokémon of varying types for the Battle Frontier. The PokéDex ones are used as HM slaves or are transferred to Platinum for training/PokéDex purposes.

How's your thirst for adventure, Captain?

In one of my FireReds, I keep all my low leveled pokemon there until i get to and beat the elite four the second time, and after i can easily do it with only 5 pokemon, i use the exp share and make them useful, then i trade them to RSE or migrate them to DPPt

I release everything except for my HM Slaves. If I don't need them anymore, then I just release them as well. Although, I generally don't catch anything except for HM Slaves (except for FR/LG where you had to catch 60 Pokemon... or something).

I don't play competitively, I don't migrate stronger Pokemon to new games, I frankly don't care much about the Pokedex, and I breed only for the fun of it and if I feel like experimenting. So, whenever I play through the games, I catch my full team of six (along with any HM Slaves), and I use them for the entire game.

I know the entire thing of Pokemon is to "catch them all," but I never saw the fun of catching hundreds of little critters just to rot away in the PC. I prefered battling with a team that you trained and had since the very beginning of the game.

I usually keep them. I wasted paid-for PokeBalls for whatever reason to catch them. If I release them, the PokeBall goes with them. Screw that, they can rot in box hell with my PokeBall.

I used to, but nowadays I don't, and just release Pokemon I don't think I'd be using/need rather than waste time and effort leveling them. This is because I like to level up my Pokemon evenly, and I gain some attachment to the 'mons and feel I should release them if I don't want them.

...which I admit is odd, considering it's just a game. But that's just me.

I nearly always do so , and usually after I beat the E4 in a game I COMPLETLY ditch my ENTIRE team in the PC and build another one . I did this in Plat. because my team sucked totally except for my Abomasnow and MAYBE my Staraptor . So this is why I did so !
Well, okay. I'm here just to chat with people. Don't really care about signatures and stuff.

Yeah it looks like many people keep them and throw the away....
Well that great! It's all up to you guys....
HM slaves I keep though because thye are useful instead of teraching my offical team a HM move, becuase some are weak and usless....

I find myself always catching a butt-load of pokemon and I never use them, that's a given when you play the game. However I do catch them when I can. Whenever I see a rare one I catch it. Whenever I see one I haven't seen before I catch it. And then there are those ones you don't want but you get them anyways(Relicanth is super weak to grass but you need one for the Regi's). Nonetheless If you play pokemon you know there are going to be at least(for me anyways) 20-50 pokemon and not use them. Its just part of the game. And as your question on releasing, I absolutely agree. However you Fail to take into consideration the points in the game when you wish you would've raised Poochyena over Zigzagoon, etc., etc., . I have thought the same thing and then fail to remember the Gold/Silver epidemic where even though rock smash is useful and almost neccessary to complete the game in those versions you can only teach it to one pokemon (its a tm). I always end up teaching it to either the pokemon you get before it(sudowoodo) or some other pokemon I don't ever use later. But anyways good question and may luck be with you

i had basically the whole pokedex in my box i mean i'm not going to release a legend and i can have all of them in my team, there is what 5 + 6 + 10 + 14 = 35 legends, that is more than a whole box
