Pokemon Catch 'em All Contest

    Credit goes to dragon0fangz for the idea.

    Goal is to catch all 493 Pokemon in either D/P/Pt or HG/SS. Since I'm nice, I'll narrow the list down to all the obtainable Pokemon, which excludes: Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Deoxys, Manaphy, Phione, Darkrai, Shaymin, and Arceus. Everyone else is obtainable in one game or another. Keep in mind that you will have to play multiple games in order to catch 'em all!

    Rules:
    1. Your challenge ends when you have all 484 obtainable Pokemon in one of the cartridges that can do so.
    2. Emulators are fine to use, we'll just assume that you would have transferred them over.
    3. No cheating devices can be used.
    4. Trading is fine, and necessary to obtain some Pokemon, although I would prefer it if you started over all games that you are going to be trading from. For example, on my Diamond Version, I have all 493 Pokemon in one box or another. Its not fair if I just trade them all over to Heart Gold. I would have to restart Diamond.
    5. Please post regularly.
    6. Have fun!

    I will be keeping a score card saved on my computer with the challenger name at the top, any game he is using, and a giant image of all the sprites, which I will mark off when you obtain them in your game. As such, I will need to know who you obtained. So please, in your updates, mention all Pokemon that you obtained in that update, as well as how many you have total, but this does not mean you have to tell me every pokemon you have every single update. This will make the posts too long and annoying to read. So just update like any other challenge, and say something like [35/484] at the end, so I know that we match.

    Challengers: dragon0fangz [233], PiPVoda [9]

    O_O I have to put down EVERY SINGLE POKEMON?!
    This took me like 2 months, on and off.
    I have like 233 from various games, like ruby, platinum, heartgold.
    And i have Jirachi, Manaphy, Phione, and Darkrai.
    Whatever I can get in HeartGold, I'm getting in HeartGold.
    Except for the Safari Zone waiting game, and the later PokeWalker courses. Those are just ridiculous.

    will be Feebas, Bagon, and Spheal, but I started a new game recently.
     
    Lol, you don't have to. If I were you, I would get your DS and a Video Camera, and then take a video of you going through your pokedex, and then upload it to youtube. But again, you don't have to, esp. if you already have that many Pokemon.
     
    Okay, so what if I'm only 20 something pokemon away from completing my Pearl pokedex? Do I have to start all over to make it fair....or use another game?
     
    Lol, no, but then its not as much of a challenge. I could just post now saying I did it. You should try again on a new game, that's what I'm going to do. I'm going to try to get 100% on my Diamond, Pearl, and HG.
     
    well luckily I just re-started my platinum the other day :)
