Expedition Cabin - a chat for Catchér Trainers

So I am still unsure of my catcher goals. I want to catch everything but I am still not 100% sure of whether I wanna catch certain Pokémon. Personally still thing some of the DW pictures are ugly but then again some are really nice.

 

I think once we can organize and release our Pokémon in the catcher I might be more motivated to complete it like a Pokédex. For now I'm just catching the mons that I like or interest me.

 

I'm looking forward to the release update, as I'd been hunting for a lot of rare species and caught a few things that I'd initially perceived as rare, but found out that they were merely uncommon encounters that show up not super-often, but enough to make me realise they weren't rare (Mr. Mime, Yanma, and Sneasel are among them).

On another note, after I get Kingdra to level 50, I will start working on species in the new update that can evolve. Chansey will be first on my list, and after that it will be whatever comes to mind and which has not already been done.

 

I liked naming them pokies. Stopped when I ran out of idea names....
So far like probs 20 now at the best.

 

I just don't, I'm lazy

 

Laziness has its perks.

 

Naming things is really odd. I like to name them whenever possible, though very little of my names have much real thought put into them. Most of them it's just whatever first came to mind. Looking through my profile, the only names I really put thought into were Coral (Kingdra), Gol'gar (Omanyte - well, some thought), and Crest (Teddiursa). Virtually every other nickname I chose is either outright silly or just based off whatever I felt it mentally resembled at the time.

 

Gosh, it's been so long since I posted on this thread, I'm such an anti-social person.

I usually have themes for nicknames. For here, I nickname all of my Pokémon off of food, some of which are mostly irrelevant to particular Pokémon (Like naming my Heracross "Rye Bread". I don't know what I was thinking but it stuck fast).

Has anyone found a Stantler yet? I really want to catch one and name it Potato.

 

Stantler and Delibird are the two Pokémon in the new update that have yet to be found. Wobbuffet used to be on that list, but that was discovered a day or two ago.

 

I suppose it's time that theory should be tested, eh? I'll peruse that section and see what I find.

 

Hello catchers. Been having a block as to what to do. Currently continuing the Pikachu grind. I want to collect Pokémon but a lack of a proper dex that updates keeps me from it. I'm thinking about designing a test dex on photoshop that I edit manually for people. It would be a test for a few volunteers.

 

I'm not sure what you mean by that statement. What do you mean by 'test dex'? What are you trying to accomplish?

 

So the way I am used to it (from my RPG experiences) is an automatic "personal Pokédex" that updates everytime you catch something new. So it's basically all the Pokémon released in the game (or LV for this example) listed alphabetically with an empty Pokéball next to it. Everytime you catch a Pokémon, the dex is automatically updated to a filled Pokéball. It's a really neat organizer and you can quickly find what you're missing to complete your dex. Since it can't be put on LV and I have little coding knowledge to automate it anyways, I was gonna make on one Photoshop or GIMP and basically update it manually everytime I caught a Pokémon. It's kinda like how you go back and add text in a sig on the XCF file. I'd post it here so people can see how far I am from completing the dex.

 

That seems like a lot of effort for very little reward. I can already see a few problems with that:

:: It would be much easier for you to make this list on a spreadsheet, or even a word processor. Using an image would involve a lot of particulars beyond just the basic text.
:: The Catcher already notes for you which things you own and which things you don't. You don't need to keep strict track of it because the application does so for you.
:: People interested in doing so themselves would have this goal on their minds already - either by using the Catcher itself or even a personal listing. An extra aid would be unnecessary.

I suppose there's nothing wrong with wanting to share your own progress, but that doesn't change much of what I've just stated.

 

I've only one odd egg, I'll wait till it hatches before I get another

 

Hmm, I just renamed an odd egg to a fairly long name and noticed that option to change the name is now gone?
