Hello I'm not sure if this is the right forum section to ask these questions so sorry in advanced!
I have played Pokemon here and there for most of my life and (showing my age here) was 9 when the hype went through the roof and red and blue were in full force in the UK.
I have never caught them all and have been very interested in doing a living dex. I've looked at multiple but I am so indecisive how to go about it and watching videos on YouTube gives me loads of great ideas but I really can't decide how to approach it.
I have a 3DS with PKSM and all gen 1-7 games on the system. I have a cartridge of White 2 and Moon but sadly don't have all the other ones I used to own.
I can trade Pokemon with myself with another ds if needed.
So I have pretty much the tools to do a lot.
The living dex ideas I have all have the simple rule of it must be my OT no trades (apart from genesect and a few others that can't be)
Basic Living Dex
Just get Pokemon from any game and get them on to home.
Regional living dex
Any region will do so for example Johto can be GSC or HGSS. For every Pokemon apart from certain mythicals (always the issue!) they must come from their own regions.
Origin Dex
All Pokemon must come from their original gen and region (VC for Gen 1 and 2) apart from mythicals.
Non PKSM Dex
Gen 3-4 is the reason I have to resort to PKSM as there is no way for me to do it legitimately with the tools I have for pal park etc. Similiar to origin and regional but Gen 3-4 can come from ORAS, BDSP respectively. This one is because I get a bit iffy about the fact PKSM is sort of cheating.
So there are my options I would love to see what people think is the best option.
