What Game Is Completing The Pokedex An Accomplishment?

[Yoshi]

The only games are in the third generation really. No Pokemon that are between 151 and 251, and no Wi Fi. Also, no backwards compatibility between G/S/C, so it's the only one.

 

[SSJ2]

Yeah I'd say Gen 3. I had something like 360 without cheating.

 

[Papasmurf]

Gen 3. Had to get over 70 hours on most of my Gen 3 games to get all 386 (first on Emerald, then FireRed at like 110 hours I think)

 

[Captain Cadaver]

As said above, all the Gen 3 games by far, especially since the Mew event was so limited. The international versions of the Gen 2 games are an honourable mention as well, since iirc, the Celebi event was exclusive to Japan.

 

[Mystic]

I think ORAS is an accomplishment as well. 200 hours in, and even with Wifi, I only have 480 Pokemon. It's taking forever.

 

[Papasmurf]

I have all 721 Pokemon in X version now with the addition of the new event Meloetta that was released today.

You transferring that to Moon?

I'ma transfer my entire Y stock and hopefully I can restore my OR save. If so, I'd probably get 80% done right off the bat.

 

[Papasmurf]

Well, it won't actually be 721 when I transfer it since I traded away shitty fodder Pokemon I dislike and a lot are in their fully evolved forms without their pre-evolved versions in the box, but yeah I'll transfer. Would be a huge waste if I didn't.

 

[SSJ2]

Can you even transfer from Gen 6?

 

[Papasmurf]

Not yet, they ain't upgraded the pokemon bank yet nigra

 

[SSJ2]

Don't you have to pay for Bank?

 

[Papasmurf]

Yeah like 4 dollars a year nigger

 

[SSJ2]

Have to pay to get your own Pokemon from a game that you paid for.

 

[Mystic]

The homebrew one might work.

 

[withheldforprivacy]

How about Gen1?

 

[Papasmurf]

You only need 2 games to do it in gen 1

 

[Captain Cadaver]

Not to mention that there's no need for mystery gifts for completion in gen 1, unlike the rest (unless barring Celebi from Gen 2).

As far as finances go, it also helps that the Gen 1 games are the cheapest when comparing their virtual releases to any unused games of other generations.

I don't think completing the Pokédex is that big of an achievement, outside of bragging rights against whoever. Mostly from what I see, people play for the in-game story, see a new region, than spend the rest of that era EV Training/IV Breeding for the competitive scene.
