I’ve also completed the dex in SM, my first and only dex completion. Of course, I couldn’t do it without the help of some amazing people (wink wink). Got the shiny charm, went hunting for a few houre, found nothing, quit, and never touched it again.
really the only reason i even completed my Pokédex in SM is because of the tiny regional Pokédex. i feel like i couldn't ever really do it with a national Pokédex, rip. way too much effort. u.u
I completed the national in XY and ORAS, along with the SM and USUM Dexes. Shiny Charm was to good to pass up ^^'
I've never come close to completing a Pokédex. I only catch what I like or what is strong, and I'm wayyy too lazy to try.
Like many others in the thread, I have not completed a regional dex, let alone the current national. I catch some Pokémon to reap some rewards, but I just don't care to "catch 'em all."
I've never quite completed either one, but I did almost complete the national dex in SacredGold/StormSilver, a HGSS romhack where it's possible to get all 493 without events or trading. I was just missing a few legendaries and some trivial evolutions when my romhack broke. I got so close though!
I completed the Ultra Moon dex, but only because of the Shiny Charm and my completionist attitude. Though once it got to 99% and I only had Celesteela and Guzzlord left to catch, after I tried the Ultra Wormholes a few times I just gave up and headed to the GTS.
I finished the dex in Pokémon X and Pokémon Sun. Pokémon X was really annoying to complete though. However, I did finish that dex within two weeks!
Completed the 'dex way back in the Diamond / Pearl days. Wouldn't do it again legit, tho. Too time consuming.
Haven't. Was the goal for Emerald, but way too many. Still trying...as we keep getting more generations
SM Is my only Pokémon game, and I've played that thing so much. (planning to get Let's Go and yes I play Pokémon Go) So ye I completed the Dex in it
Nope never. Not even a national dex. The closest I ever got was in my White game where I started to transfer over whatever Pokémon I liked and gained a sizeable number of Pokémon from it.
I usually do. In fact I just completed the Alola dex in Ultra Sun today. I'm also only two mythical Pokémon away from Living Pokédex status (three if you count Zeraora, but I won't count it until its been officially released).
I did in Pokémon Y and Pokémon Sun for the Shiny Charm (Pretty much that being the only reason I ever got the urge to finnish them). 30% of those dex's were complete via GTS (I don't have a Living Dex)
Regional? Almost every generation. National? Moon only. I was close in Black/Black 2 but then I missed some events (victini, Keledo, Genesect, Meloetta) and before I knew it X/Y were coming out on the 3DS!
