4th Gen Most efficient way to organise the boxes

[Asch_R2]

Well i've noticed that my Storage boxes are getting a little untidy and so I ask what is the best way you have found to organize your legions of pokemon.

 

[Bloodbane]

name the boxes and put them in the wtight box

 

[kazuya.]

I have several approaches:

1/ Sort the boxes by Pokemon types, but I found it difficult since there're so many dual types... (=_=)"

2/ The first 3 - 4 boxes are for the pokemon I used frequently. Box 5 and so on are really for storage.

3/ Sort the boxes by Pokedex no.

 

[Asch_R2]

Thanks for the ideas, think im gonna do it by pokedex number and then keep events seperate

 

[Mikoliah]

i have a file i use it sorts the pokes by National number. it leaves you 1 full box and 2/3rds of a box left over. i use the last box to put all the unown types still leaving 2/3's box for rares events yadda yadda yadda

 

[CrystalFlow]

I just try to keep them sorted by type. Dual types usually just go into the box with whatever their first type is

some time in the next

two months for wii

 

[KageRyuu]

I did one for every type.
then my last box was water/norm
finally for flying I threw whatever I wanted in there that had flying as its type. And whatever I didnt went in the other category type.

 

[Matt-O]

I did one for most types, 2 or so extra boxes for overflowing boxes and important Pkmn. Each box is organized alphabetically.

 

[Asch_R2]

hmm more interesting ways to think about. I wonder if there are any AR cheats that will order them for me.

I organize my PC boxes by type. Some boxes are multiple types if they go together or if I don't have many of either (Fight/Dark, Water/Ice, etc). I also have a box called "special" for my team and legendaries or others that I hold dear and don't want to trade. I also have two boxes for some types that I have many of (two Psychics for when I was breeding Ralts, two Normals because there's so many of them, and so forth). This works very well for me.

 

[Iron Tiff]

On my Diamond I organized most of my boxes by type, then within each box i use their dex number.

1. Events
2. Legends
3. Dragons
4. Fire
5. Ice/Water
6. Rock
7. Ground
8. Normal
9. Bugs
10. Dark/ Ghost
11. Grass
12. Psychic
13. Electric
14. Flying
15. Fighting
16. Poison
17. Steel
18. Others


I'm also working on another Diamond and a Pearl for more box space. I have a few overflowing booxes. XD

After reading all the posts in this thread, I think that my way of organising the boxes is the best.
I organise them by levels..
lv1-10
lv11-20
lv21-30 and so on
then there will be a few boxes extra
I named those..
Starters (eg. Charizard, Swampert)
Legends (eg. Azelf, Cresselia)
Extras (any extra pokemon you have)
Fossils (eg. Aerodactyl, Armaldo)
Eggs (any eggs that havent been hatched yet)

I hope this helped...

- All the pokemon I have caught simply for filling out the pokedex fill box 1, then 2, then 3, and so on. I don't have these boxes named, they're pretty much just storage.

- The highest numbered box (so I only have to push left once after going into the PC) is called "Dittos." This is where I keep my Dittos for breeding purposes, as well as my Slugma for hatching eggs.

- The next highest box, "Rejects" (yeah I'm mean), is a box I keep for hatched pokemon unsuitable for EV training. Once it overflows, I just release a bunch of them, because they're basically useless and there's no point to keeping all of them.

- Finally, the next highest, "EVd," is for pokemon who are completely trained (EV trained, movesets, leveled to at least 50) and ready for competitive battling.

That being said, it's not very organized, so I'm appreciative of this thread so I can get some good ideas.

Before i started a new game, I had my boxes organized by Type, Shinies, Event, Legendary, and my battle teams.

 

[Super Puppy]

I kind of like the "by level" idea. My system has recently developed some flaws as the boxes fill at different rates, so I may try that one.

 

[Storm-DC]

i have the following boxes:
- Legendaries
- Pokemon to offer for trade
- Pokemon with fresh PKRS
- EVtrained pokemon
- Eggs, dont need them, no idea whats in it anymore, but cant release them
- Box for pokemon from the 1st gen, 2nd gen, 3rd gen, etc
and i release most pokemon for which i havent go a use
