Gotta Catch 'Em All

Several years ago while playing the Ruby game I had started a project to catch all the Pokémon I was almost finished when the cartridge got whipped out. Now after completing Diamond, Pearl, Platinum & Silver I think it’s time again to try to Catch ‘Em All.

I met a guy at the VGC Qualifier that had a cartridge dedicated to holding one of all the Pokémon. It was impressive and the project appeals to the completist in me to finish.

I am thinking I have most of the Pokémon on the other cartridges so many of them I can just trade over to my Silver cartridge to hold all of the Pokémon, The reason I chose the Silver cartridge is Ill need lots of extra Pokémon 493 I think to trade and with Silver I have a nice steady stream of Pokémon coming in without much effort, These are the Pokéwalker, Bug catching contest, breeding, GTS & the Safari Zone.

Because there are so many Pokémon, I am going to focus on 1 box at a time. A box holds 30 Pokémon.

Don’t be surprised if I start asking for trades on middle evolution Pokémon!

Here is a list of all the Pokemon:

Post-VGC Qualifier

Sadly, Joel and I didn't play. He got there at 10am, and slacked around inside before getting in line. I got there around noon, and he'd already gotten out of line to hang out inside...and download some extra Shiny Eevee. (Basically you have a HG/SS game, download it, trade Eevee out, reset the entire game, then play through until you have the Poke-dex.)

The line was huge at noon, with several hundred already in line for registration at 1. I was planning on hanging out inside, and then head into line as it got shorter, but they cut the line at 1:30 when it was still outside - if you weren't in line by that time, you weren't playing. (No announcements inside - there were some sad players.)

I did get to play a lot with the Pokewalker though - it was the first time I connected with more than 10 Pokewalkers. After 10 connections, instead of getting an item you get Watts (I received anywhere from 31-99 Watts per connection). In addition, if you have access to Viridian City on the second map, the final 10 connections at the ones that show up in the Trainer Hall there.

Pokewalker was pretty social - I can easily imagine the throngs of Pokewalkers at PAX this summer. Maybe that will rack up enough Watts to close out my Pokewalker courses.
