I adore Soulsilver, I think that's the only game I've ever completed a Pokedex on. -w-

Soulsilver is the shit. Pokeathlon is the most time consuming high score challenge in the history of video games, let alone Pokemon. The way it builds things up for you is amazing. Here's your stats case, nothing special. What are those crown things? No explanation. Oh, trophies for doing certain stuff, and completing tasks. I dig, but what is that crown for getting 1 Pokemon as a champion of all events? No explanation. More trophies, sweet, but THE GOD DAMN CROWNS WHAT ARE THEY. Nada! Oh, yeah, here's the champions room, look at your statue! Crowns are point based challenges that all mass together in a point system for personal gloating reasons, along with the trophies. *dies*
I have over 200 hours clocked in the games ticker just for that bloody thing. GF if you are listening, get your shit together and give us another Pokeathlon.

True but I have on most of my games 100+ hours. Mostly because I want to complete the dex. That is even without really getting into anything else :d.

The only game I've ever completed a dex on is Diamond, since that was my first game in the first gen in which it was possible to actually get all pokemon (well besides non-Japanese Arceus, but some hacker traded it with me back and forth so I could have the entry).

Also I didn't like pokeathlon. Voltorb flip was fun though.

I've never really tried to complete a Pokdex, I kinda just got pretty close on Soulsilver and then decided I was going to try and get it done for once.

I was shit at Voltorb Flip, but Pokeathlon was amazing.

Usually I just catch six Pokemon, progress through the game through them, then go back and catch Pokemon again. I usually stick to the same team throughout a whole game.

I usually don't leave an area untill I have all pokémon there. I generally don't evolve them untill after I completed the main story though.

I try and catch at least three Pokemon before the first gym but if there aren't any Pokemon I like then I'll trade one or two low-level ones over from a previous game. I've beat the league with the same team in Soulsilver, Heartgold, Black and Black 2 now, I think.

I normally plan my team ahead now, and I try not to use any repeat types. Usually I'll try to evolve my starter Pokémon once before the first gym.

I never plan ahead my team. Only in White I decided I was gonna use ducklett to be both my surfer and flier before I actually had the game. Also I decided I was gonna use a klink the moment it was first revealed.

I have a bad habit of using repeat types, for example in my main team I have two electric types and in my secondary team I have two fire types. ;w; I'll only evolve my starter if the evolution is cute because I'm mean like that. ^^;

I never ever plan teams. Ever. As I said, I usually just throw together a bunch of low-level Pokemon from previous games then bring in my main teams later on.

Haha this is me. Up until B2W2. The PWT mon-type tournaments were ball busters, and out of all the things that could promote dex completion, as if the OCD inducing getting full stamps for the Habitat List wasn't enough, this was the one thing that pushed me over the edge. Even normal got some usage out of me, when I usually just shrug them aside. Its good to have that type neutrality with move variation some times.

Well w2 I ditched for the first time my starter early on Snivy, it somehow didn't fit my team and I gave way more loving to my Riolu.
Well my team was basiclly by the end Lucardio, Krokorok(same as b), skarmory, arcanine, gavantula and azumaril. This time I didn't bother really catching lots of pokemon because
I still had a shit load of pokes stashed away on my black game.

Ive only planned my team on Black 2 and I liked it alot, it was a pretty good team. There was a large selection to choose from but I went with mostly new Pokemon I like. I still have a lot of Pokemon to catch.

Actually I did plan my team on White 2. Didn't plan it very well though, ended up needing to trade to White two times to get my team.

Hey everybody! What's up?

To add to the current conversation at hand, I usually don't plan my team other than relying on a lot of dual-types and making sure a lot of types are represented. Regardless, there always seems to be one that dominates on my team. In my Gen I game, it was Psychic (like it was with everyone, since Psychic was the Game Breaker in that generation), in Gen II it was Water and in Gen III it was Psychic again. (I think the truth is I just really like Psychic Pokemon.)
