2nd Gen Have you ever caught 'em all?

[ShadowLeader]

i caught them all in Red and Yellow. Second generation i got all the pokemon in Fire Red too....that was hard..

Me and a friend at the age of 7 or 8 caught them all. I used my Blue version to help him with the starters and Hitmonlee. (why did EVERYONEE) choose Hitmonchan? Any ways we got the certificate. It was one of the most dissapointing days in my pokemon life. It took us close to a year to finish that.. and all's the guy does is give you a certificate. We thought we would get mew or something haha.

We kind of cheated though. We used the missingno glitch to get rare candies to get some of the evolved forms.

no way man i always choose hitmonlee....higher attack!

 

[Vie]

yep, I caught all on blue and on diamond =D
trading ftw!

 

[Sunyshore]

I haven't ever got 'em all, because I don't have anybody who would trade with me nor two consoles (and a link cable). And after all, I'm too lazy to even try to catch them all. Luckily, most of my favorite Pokémon are easy to get.

 

[Suzume]

I'm only about 5 Pokemon away from having caught them all in my Crystal... And I even trained many of the stone-evolving ones to a level where they actually had learned decent moves! (Like Gloom up to level 44 so it would learn Petal Dance before evolving it) I also caught all the three dogs myself and Ho-oh after that~ Now I'm afraid that the internal battery will die, since it has already happened to all my older games... ;__;

sadly i could never do it i didnt have a link cable back then so i couldnt get the version only pokemon. though i would like to finish the newer pokedex

 

[BlueShadow]

I completed the Pokedex in my Yellow, and Silver version with my friend's Red, and Gold Version

The funniest thing about getting a complete pokedex in Gen III or IV is that it's almost impossible to do it legitimately. It just takes FOREVER because you have to do three full playthroughs, pretty much, of Emerald and FireRed/LeafGreen, and spend all that time on Emerald in the Safari Zone... Doesn't it sound like so much fun you could puke from the excitement?
(That's pretty much just for Gen III, since I haven't looked at how many pokemon of the metal generation are in the newest.)

 

[Pokedra]

Nah..I never cared about completing the Pokedex. Battling appealed to me more :)

 

[Lockmaster24]

I did in my blue, yellow and gold. :p
Even a legit mew.

(I also did pearl)

 

[Kevo182]

I got all 250 or 251 (i cant remember) on my Crystal, but then it crashed about a week or 2 later. :P

 

[Maelstromk]

well I did get all but mew, I just think getting a legit mew is too much of a hastle...

 

[Lt. Silver]

if you want a mew try the mew glitch, it's really simple and easy to do

 

[~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~]

I did without cheating (I didnt get Celebi w/o a GS)


:t354:TG

 

[Game M]

I only did on my pokemon blue, other than the one we got at the nintendo conventions

 

[Gummy]

In Pokemon Version Red, yes, I did. And that include Mew, which was given to me by a very old friend. Now with the total at 493, I don't plan on ever "catching them all" again.

 

[Moon-Rider]

yes in blue and red version.

 

[abarai]

Only once, which was in Red version, all 151 pokes(including mew).

 

[SpiderJames]

I got to 132 on my Pokemon Red waaaaay back in the day, which was quite impressive at the game.

On my yellow version I got to like 110, then just did cheats to get all 151, so I could see my reward from Professor Oak.

 

[Guosuto-chan]

I did in Blue. Without cheating, except for Mew. But that's a special case. Everything else I caught on my own or traded for. I still have that Blue around somewhere...

 

[Alexithymia~]

I tried once to complete the pokedex but got severely bored.
