4th Gen PC boxes.

this is how i have mine sorted

box 17: trading pokemon
box 18: legendaries
box 1: evolved pokemon
box 2: evolved pokemon
box 3: evolved pokemon
box 4: evolved pokemon
box 5: evolved pokemon
box 6: pokemon i still need to evolve
box 7: pokemon i still need to evolve
box 8: pokemon i still need to evolve
box 9: pokemon i still need to evolve

oh and in box 6-9 i have them ordered as followed

pokemon evolved by levels
pokemon evolved by happiness
pokemon evolved by trade
pokemon evolved by stones
 
that's a pretty good method, shalashaska.
at the moment I have my boxes: Kanto, Johto etc. and then each box ordered by number,
but I might integrate it with your method and make seperate boxes for pokemon that need to evolve, etc.
 
yeh i find its easier to find certain pokemon when i need them, when i complete my pokedex im gonna put the in numerical order so for example

box 1: venasaur, charizard, blastoise, butterfree ETC but i will still keep the legendaries aside in a different box in numerical order aswell
 
cool. :]
I think that's pretty much made my mind up, (unless someone can possibly suggest something even better!)
thanks!
 
how does everyone organize theirs?
I'm really stuck on how to sort everything.
I've tried doing it by levels, by number, and by type, but I don't like any of them.
anyone have any suggestions?

hey link.
I have boxes organised like this
New (and i have my box set to this everytime i leave so that whenever I catch something it goes in this box)
1-9
10-19
20-29
30-39
40-49
50-59
60-69
70-99
100
Shinies
Do Up (pokemon i wish to train up soon)
Junkbox (load of crap i trade away when i get/give freebies - usually bidoof)
Legend (legendary pokemon box :) )
Unown
Tradebox (box of pokemon that i want to trade away)
Breed (pokemon im currently breeding)
Natalya (a box for my girlfriend to catch pokemon and keep them :) )

works pretty well until i get more shinies xD

- simple and easy for someone as simple as i x]
 
that's cool,
I like the idea of leaving it on the 'new' box so new pokemon go in there,
and a box for your girlfriend :]
 
makes sense... I dont end up with all ma gfs pokemon everywhere if she plays on it :] plus then i can remember what she caught.
also, your level 5 starlys you're out catching (dont ask me why you'd be out doing that... i have no idea...) end up all in one box called NEW :] then you organise them thereafter. :D
i dunno. something that seemed to make sense to me back in the days of GBA :P
*sigh* memories
 
I just generally like organizing Pokemon!
unless you're moving all the pokemon from one box to another that's like seven boxes away,
and you have to keep withdrawing, moving boxes, and then depositing over and over!
 
I used to have them sorted by Type. But it takes to long when swapping Pokemon that I just have them any were and look for them. Takes me a while to find the one I want though.
 
I though about that one, but the thing that stopped me was when pokemon have two types I wouldn't know where to put them.
 
when pokemon have two types you could make it more simple and put like

Gengar who is type 1: ghost
type 2: poison

put him in the ghost box

i want to get them all organized 1-483 (is that the right amount?)
but then i think about how many extra spots are gonna be taken up by pokemon who have 3 evolutions... sigh

when i complete my pokedex im going to orer my pokemon in national pokedex order so pokemon with 3 evolutions or more will be easy to sort say magmar for example, in pearl it has another evolution magmotar so insted of putting it in with the johto pokedex it will be in the sinnoh pokedex in the 400's another is eevee it has evolutions in 3 different pokedex's so just list the in nuber order
 
that works for pokemon like that
however pokemon with 3 evo's in the same game are a pain
it looks cool i think, but it takes up 3 spots
bulbasaur, ivysaur, venusaur, charmander, char...something..,charizard..
etc
 
Well I personally set my out so it's easier for me to deal with.

1) A Carry Pack, of all the Pokemon I commonly use and train.
2) Special Pokemon (i.e Legendaries, shinys...)
And then the rest of my Pokemon which I don't really use are left classified under the types.
 
I know it's useless to post this, but I still will because I'm lame. xD
I organize by types. It's worked for me in Silver/Gold/Crystal. It's worked for me in Ruby/Emerald. And now it's working for me in Pearl.
My first box is always Bug and second is always Water. Tradition xD Nostalgia.
Then I combine some types, like Psychic/Ghost and Dark/Poison or whatever. I have a box for legendaries and my few events called Paradise! and a box for my shinies, as well as two boxes for eggs that always fill up fast x__x
I don't do by levels or anything. I personally like sorting by types. And yeah, like mentioned, I put the Pokemon in a box depending on their first type. Like, Gyarados doesn't belong in a flying box. Gyarados belongs in Water. D;
 
I have organised my boxes by type ( Water, Fire, etc. ) in my Diamond to help me find my pokemon, since I breed quite a lot and it speeds up the process of find the right Pokemon :)
 
I do it like this:

Teambox...(Pokemon that can be in my team and must be level 100)
Rarebox...(Rare pokemon&legendary pokemon)
Unownbox...(All types of unowns)
Shinybox...(Shinies only)

And, the rest of the spare boxes are:
Junkboxes...(Junk pokemon only, just for the pokedex)
 
So far my boxes are:

Lv.100s
Trains (Those that need training)
Shinys
Legends
legends 2 (I filled up my 1st box)
Breeders
Breeders
Breeders
Junks
Eggs
Shinys


I had all my pokemon scattered in one point actually.
