If you think this is a stupid, boring and irrelevant question then you're probably right - but you still clicked on it, which means you must be interested, right? :P (Or you've just come to say how stupid, boring and irrelevant I am...)

Well anyway I was wondering which mode everyone sets their Pokédex to when their playing the game. Do you keep to the Regional Mode or switch to National Mode as soon as possible?

Personally I always choose the latter and always set it to National Mode. I like the idea of one universal Pokédex even if evolutions are in the wrong order. Anytime I refer to 'dex numbers they'll always be National (#258 for example ^^ ).

So what about you lot?

I never even use my Pokedex unless I need to know where something is, in which case, it's in national mode, because I'm not going to sit around memorizing regional dexes.

I prefer seeing intergenerational evolutionary families grouped together rather than separated by upwards of a hundred slots (there're about four hundred slots between Magenton and Magnezone in the national dex). But then again, this convenience is lost on pokemon that aren't even in the regional dex, like the Ckefairy family in Hoenn or the Jigglypuff family in Sinnoh. >_>

It depends....if I'm checking what pokémon I should be able to get in my region....I'll use the regional pokédex, i.e. If I want to decide upon a pokémon for my new team on Platinum, I'll check Diamond's 'dex and vice versa. However, if I've unlocked the National Pokédex I usually use that. With the exception of the Johto 'dex, which contains half of the Gen IV National Pokédex anyway, and groups things together better....

I like the regional mode better. It makes me think that the pokemon have a defined home. Sometimes the Nat. dex will get me confused xD

I set it to National, especially in Hoenn and Sinnoh where the number and order are really jumbled (because the old and newly introduced Pokemon are all mixed together, lol.

I like National Mode best. Why? Because everything's there!

I use the Nat. Dex because it has all the pokemon in that one dex
West, on a plane bound west
I see her stretching out below
Land, blessed mother land
The place where I was born

Scars, she’s got her scars
Sometimes it starts to worry me
Cause lose, I don’t want to lose
Sight of who we are

From the mountains high
To the wave-crashed coast
There’s a way to find
Better days I know

It’s been a long hard ride
Got a ways to go
This is still the place
That we all call home
