    After 2 years, 17 games, and 1924 total in game hours, I have finally completed my Cross-Generational Living Dex!

    After 2 years, 17 games, and 1924 total in game hours, I have finally completed my Cross-Generational Living Dex!

    For the past 2 years and 4 months I have been working on what I call a "Cross-Generational Living Dex"! A "Cross-Generational Living Dex" is a complete Living Dex where all the Pokemon come from the first games they appear in (Bulbasaur comes from Red/Blue, Chikorita comes from Gold/Silver, etc.) If you don't know already, a Living Dex is when someone catches every stage of a Pokemon line separately so that they have every single Pokemon for easy Pokedex completion. Sometime people also like to include alternate forms, gender differences, and special abilities. I wanted this Living Dex to be as complete as possible, so I went for everything that I could possibly store in Pokmeon HOME. I also wanted to catch as many Pokemon as possible with my OT. While this sounds simple at first, it gets complicated for quite a few Pokemon. One category of such Pokemon is mythicals. I wanted to do as much of this without external cheating and/or save editing, so I allowed myself to use glitches if that helped me obtain these tricky Pokemon. Gens 1 - 4 all have glitches that allow you to get mythical Pokemon, which I will go into detail later on. I thought it would be fun to go through each generation and explain the tricky situations I ran into.

    The first thing I did was create a spreadsheet checklist that allowed me to track what Pokemon I had, where they came from, how I obtained them, their OT, which form they were, and where they were stored in each game as well as in HOME. I also added their Pokedex Numbers and a link to their Bulbapedia article. Most of this information is automatically generated when creating a new row so adding new Pokemon was easy. I even ended up adding a visual representation of both the individual generational boxes and the final boxes in HOME so I could see all of my Pokemon in one place before the very end. A link to a copy of that can be found [Here]. Feel free to download a copy of it and use it yourself!

    And without further ado, I will be going into each generation more in depth and explaining some of the challenges I faced! (This section is huge, so feel free to skip to the TL:DR at the end!)

    Generation II (Pokemon Silver - 87:46)

    When I started this challenge, it was right after Gold and Silver were re-released on the 3DS Virtual Console, so I started with Gen 2. These re-releases also added Pokemon Bank compatibility. This meant that there was no longer a blockade from Gens 1 and 2 to Gen 3 and beyond, and I could truly catch and transfer up every Pokemon from their first appearance. After playing through the main story, I used The Coin Case glitch to help with with Celebi and the version exclusives. The Coin Case is extremely broken in the English versions of Gold and Silver, and with it you can practically edit any of your save data. If you're interested, I did a tutorial on how obtain any Pokemon (and change pretty much anything) in Gold and Silver right [Here]. Outside of the Coin Case though, Silver wasn't too bad. A great place to start!

    Generation I (Pokemon Red - 69:56)

    Being the first game in the series, Pokemon Red doesn't have anything too crazy. Due to a lack of breeding, some Pokemon have to be cloned or morphed from other Pokemon. Eevee is a good example of a Pokemon that has to be cloned as you only receive one in the game. As far as glitches go though... if you thought the Coin Case glitch was intense, just wait until you see what 8F can do. 8F is a glitch item that allows you to run code based on the items in your PC. It's a bit complicated to explain here, but it's done with something called Arbitrary Code Execution, and I highly recommend reading about it if you're into Pokemon (or games in general) and programming. Either way, I followed [this] video by TheZZAZZGlitch to create a RAM editor, which allowed me to view and easily edit anything in the game I wanted to. Viewing the RAM was important due to a feature that Gen 1 Lacks, which is genders. Part of my Ultimate Living Dex plan was obtaining all of the gender differences, which meant I had to view the IV's to determine what the gender of each Pokemon was (since the attack IV was what determined gender in Gen 2 and subsequently Pokemon Bank). Another quirk was that Mew has to have the OT of "GF" and a Trainer ID of 22796 to be able to be transferred up, since the only legitimate way to obtain a Mew in Virtual Console Gen 1 was through an event. Outside of those little things, there weren't very many challenges in Gen 1!

    Generation III (Pokemon Emerald - 301:52 & Pokemon Fire Red - 90:43)

    Generation 3 is the first generation I played that required multiple games to catch them all. You may be thinking: "Fire Red and Leaf Green are remakes... They don't have any exclusive Gen 3 Pokemon in them!" While there aren't any generation 3 Pokemon to catch, there are still two Pokemon to snag in these games: two forms of Unown. Specifcially, ! and ? Unown. You see, the ! and ? forms of Unown weren't in Gold and Silver, so we have to grab them here in Gen 3. The only problem is that they're not in Emerald, or anywhere in Hoenn for that matter. So to Kanto we go a second time! Outside of spending 90 hours on two forms of an extremely weak Pokemon, the rest of Gen 3 was simple... ish. Catching and evolving all the Pokemon was a breeze due to Battle Tower Item Cloning for Master Balls and Rare Candies, and Jirachi was simple due to a friend having the Pokemon Colosseum Bonus Disk. The Eon Ticket and Deoxys were much harder to get. To get them both, I used Pomeg Berry corruption. This uses the Pomeg Berry glitch to give you a party of six fainted Pokemon, which then allows you to corrupt your bag and box data. You can find an explanation of both the Eon Ticket [Here] and Deoxys (or any Pokemon for that matter) [Here]. Outside of glitches, Emerald and Fire Red went pretty smoothly!

    Generation IV (Pokemon Platinum - 123:48, Pokemon Pearl - 8:04, & Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia - 5:46)

    Generation 4 was the first game without item duplication which meant catching and evolving Pokemon was harder than in the previous generations. Luckily, Gen 4 introduced very few Pokemon that evolve twice, and introduced many Pokemon who evolved with an item or a certain move, therefor bypassing the level-up process. The hardest Pokemon to catch this generation was, of course, Munchlax. Slathering honey on trees was awful and time consuming, but in the end it was worth it. I made a spreadsheet where I tracked which trees gave me what Pokemon, but in the end I really got lucky and found him by chance. While I was on the Munchlax hunt, I played through Pearl until obtaining the bike. I was then able to do the final glitch to obtain mythical Pokemon, Void Tweaking. By biking really fast and opening up the void, you can ride to Newmoon Island, Flower Paradise, and even activate the Arceus event in the Hall of Origin. You can watch a video about Void Tweaking [Here]. The last mythical in Gen 4 to get was Manaphy, for which I played through part of Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia. Gen 4 was also the first generation to allow you to transfer Pokemon up from the previous generation. The Pal Park, while tedious, was not awful. It took a while to transfer up the Pokemon from Gen 3, but overall it was not a bad experience. Generation 4 was a little harder than Gen 3 due to the lack of an item duplication glitch, but it was still easier than what was to come.

    Generation V (Pokemon White - 370:35, Pokemon White 2 - 39:48, & Pokemon Black - 12:02)

    Generation 5 was the hardest generation. It lacked the item duplication glitches of Gen 1, 2, and 3, while also having some of the highest evolution levels in the entire series. The EXP Share is not a key item yet and there is no easy level up method akin to Blissey bases or SOS chaining. It is also the first game to not have any glitches for mythical Pokemon, due to them being pure mystery gifts (outside of Victini). Technically you can receive them using the method shown [Here], but in my opinion that isn't any different than injecting the Wonder Cards directly into your game. Luckily Pokemon White 2 acts sort of as a third version, allowing you to catch the Reshiram that White lacked. Unfortunately though, Tornadus and Thundurus are nowhere to be seen in the sequels. Pokemon Dream Radar exists, but we need a second version of all three of the weather trio for their Therian forms. That means playing through Pokemon Black for Tornadus! Like the former generation, I had to transfer up from the previous games. This time there was a little mini-game that while fun, took up time and made things a little tedious again. Fortunately, I made it through and had everyone in generation 5. With that out of the way, I was ready to jump forward to the newest games in the series.

    Generation VIII (Pokemon Sword - 102:07 & Pokemon Shield - 18:51)

    A few days after completing Gen 5, Sword and Shield released, so I took a side step and played through Sword before moving on to Gen 6. The hardest Pokemon in this generation was Alcremie. Breeding enough Milcery to evolve was easy enough, but collecting all of the sweets was torture. Not only was it completely random what sweet you got (if you even got one) but it was a daily event in three locations. I used the time skip glitch, but it still took a long time to get them all. I also decided to collect all of the Pokemon with the ability to Gigantamax as part of my Living Dex, which was not much of a hassle at all. Beating a raid alone gives the Pokemon a 100% catch rate which made things quite easy. After completing Gen 7, I took on Shield to obtain Zamazenta. Overall, it was a nice experience, especially coming off the heels of Gen 5.

    Generation VI (Pokemon X - 41:24 & Pokemon Y - 16:16)

    Generation 6 simplified a lot of what made Gen 5 rough. Gone were the days of playing a mini-game to transfer up Pokemon, along with having to grind levels. In general, the leveling of Gen 6 was almost non-existent, but for any EXP sponges I had Blissey bases in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Unfortunately, it does not have a third version to catch both box art legendary Pokemon. This means playing through both X and Y. The hardest part of Gen 6 though was definitely Vivillon. Vivillon's pattern is determined by what region the 3DS is set to when the save file is created. Luckily Scatterbug is an early game Pokemon, so changing the region and starting a new game for each form isn't awful. What is hard though is that a US 3DS does not have the ability to get every form of Vivillon, due to not containing certain regions. This meant that I had to cheat a little bit and change the region through external means. This and event injection were the only times I edited a save file, and I feel that changing the region was reasonable since I was still putting in the same amount of time into the project as I would have buying a PAL or JPN 3DS and copy of Y. Outside of the devil butterfly, Gen 6 was a much more relaxed time than Gen 5.

    Generation VII (Pokemon Ultra Sun - 64:08, Pokemon Ultra Moon - 17:38, & Pokemon Let's Go, Eevee! - 10:39)

    Generation 7 is an interesting one because it's the first set of games to add Pokemon in the middle of the generation. Unfortunately, it adds version exclusive ones, meaning that we have to play both Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon to obtain both Blacephalon and Stakataka. This also means that there's really no reason to play through Sun or Moon, besides using them to receive the Ash Greninja event from the Sun and Moon demo. Outside of that, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon were pretty standard and easy to complete. But those aren't the only games in gen 7, we also have Let's Go, Eevee! This game is an odd one because not only is it on a different system than the previous two, but it adds two new Pokemon that come exclusively from Pokemon GO. Meltan isn't too hard to evolve as long as you keep up on your mysterious boxes in GO... it only took me a walk or two to obtain all 400 candies that I needed. As the final generation I needed to complete, this was a nice and easy ending!

    TL:DR: I caught every single Pokemon and alternate form that can be collected in Pokemon HOME while using glitches such as Void Tweaking, The Coin Case, 8F, and Pomeg Berry corruption.

    Here is a video showing all of my Pokemon in HOME. Note that the gaps are for upcoming Pokemon (such as Galarian Slowbro and Kubfu) and not Pokemon I am missing.

    Overall this has been an extremely enjoyable and rewarding experience. I have had a ton of fun over the past two years putting this all together and I really hope you enjoyed reading about it. I will likely update this post and the spreadsheet over time as content is added to Pokemon Sword and Shield and beyond. Thank you for reading and please feel free to ask questions in the comments! I'm sure I missed something and I'd love to answer anything you're curious about!

    I recently played through Platinum again for nostalgia and it was probably the hardest challenge I've ever had in any Pokemon game, this was probably one of my favorite teams I've ever used and I had a blast playing through it again

    I'm still bothered by the fact that you can't choose an adult character in Pokemon yet. Why do we have to be a 14 year old?

    Posted: 28 Mar 2020 05:58 AM PDT

    Just got my Nintendo switch two weeks ago and began playing Pokemon sword, which I was extremely excited for. they made a bunch of changes to make the game feel more millennial and modern, but one of these changes they didn't make was allowing you to choose an older character. Even though the Pokemon lab assistant is like 18 or 20 years old, compared to professor oak being 60 years old before. You still can't choose a Pokemon player character that's over the age of 14 apparently

    It just looks really weird to be running around has a bunch of kids when the current gym champion is obviously an adult. It seems like a huge oversight on their part considering that the obvious demographic for Nintendo switch is predominantly adults. Not all adults, but mostly. They could have made it more accommodating for adults playing the game so we could actually choose an adult character

    Edit: It's perfectly okay to disagree with me -- that's the purpose of reddit: to share your opinions. But let's at least respect each others opinions and enjoy the discussion ok?

    Megastones and Primal Orbs found in Pokemon Sword and Shield files in datamine, could be part of DLC or Diamond and Pearl remakes.

    Anyone else create little head canons for explanations on transferring Pokémon from older games?

    Posted: 28 Mar 2020 09:17 AM PDT

    It'll just be fun hearing other people's ideas and thoughts.

    For me I always had the head canon that my main character is relatives with my new character if they have different names.

    If I make them have the same name then I'll just say that they're the same person even though they might not look alike (makeover maybe)

    At this point, I would love if the next gen have a Johto/sinnoh-like dex, with a lot of evolutions/baby forms for old pokemon

    Posted: 28 Mar 2020 08:56 AM PDT

    Hello and good morning!

    I was thinking that a lot of mons need some buffs and... In some cases, not even a mega/gigamax could solve too much, but rather a whole new evolution line is needed.

    And discarding the regional evolutions from galar (wich are basically new pokemons)… the last gen with a new evolution from an old mon was the sixth one, with the single example of Sylveon.

    Don't get me wrong, I love new Pokemon and regional variants, but at this point, I feel like it would be awesome to have the next gen serving as complement for old pokemons, just like the 2nd and 4th were, with a lot of spots dedicated to create new evolutions for Pokemon that really needed (and some that doesn't needed it but got it anyway).

    So how is your feeling about a dex with low numbers of new Pokemon but a lot of new evolutions? And what Pokemon you think could use new forms?

    Some mons that could really got new stages:

    Sunflora: this is got from this sub. A fire/grass type would be awesome and the sunflower Pokemon is perfect for the combination

    Ledian: and make it bug/fighting with iron fists. A three-stage evolution bug could be really popular for the journey.

    Since.we are talking about bugs... Cricketune needs a third Evo. Maybe a dark or steel bug

    Dunsparce: this is maybe the most obvious one but very deserving. Could be either flying, normal, dragon or fairy. All fit it very nicely.

    Pre-evo that could go for milktank or taurus: that is an old request that would be cool anyway.

    Pluslie/minum: Maybe being the only mons that could evolve to the same Mon, or one for each. Either way, I think they are the weakest of the pikaclones and could use some love.

    A female-ish evolution to bunnelby, kinda like gallade/frosslass. Make it fairy/normal

    A male-ish evolution to buneary to complete the line. Could be normal/rock or something like that

    I would also enjoy a snubbul Evo that looks a bit frail and delicate but is actually normal/fighting, as an alternate to the aggressive normal/fairy that is granbull

    Pincurchin/alomolola/luvdisc/pyukumuku/basculin/delibird/wobbufet/ all need some attention in any form
