I finished my Origin LivingDex!
I did it! I finally did!! My personal Origin Living Dex is completed.
For anyone who don't know what is it basically involve obtaining and storing in Home all the pokemon from the #1 to the last one. All the pokemon need to have the same original trainer and come from their original game they were available. There are some exceptions, some Pokemon are not mine or don't come from the same game even they are from the same generation, but I will explain on the bottom of the post.
This idea was born after watching "One Thousand Pokémon" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pa08Y-fhfTI&t=217s . This video ends with the question "did you catch 'em all?" and I did immediately reopen my old saves... and here the disappointment. In some games I didn't even complete the story, in one game I was called ASH (what?), in some other it was missing some pokemon. It was a mess. So on august 2023 I started this journey where I replayed all my pokemon games to complete the living dex, to revive the nostalgia of my youth, to actually catch 'em all.
It was a journey long of 1 year and half (started on august 2023) and ended some days ago.
I wanna thanks all the people from various pokemon subreddits who helped me for obtaining the exclusive Pokemons and the trade evolutions I needed.
Here all Pokemon games I used to achieve this milestone:
- Kanto: Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu + Pokemon Go (Meltan, Melmetal) + Pokemon Blue VC (for the LGE exclusives such as bellsprout, vulpix, meowth, koffing, pinsir) + Pokeball Plus (Mew)
- Johto: Pokemon HeartGold + Crystal VC (Celebi)
- Hoenn: Pokemon Alpha Sapphire
- Sinnoh: Pokemon Platinum + Legends Arceus (Arceus)
- Unova: Pokemon White + White 2 (Reshiram)
- Kalos: Pokemon X (Yvelyal traded)
- Alola: Pokemon Ultrasun (Celesteela, pheromosa, stakataka traded)
- Galar: Pokemon Shield + DLC (zacian, spectrier, regieleki traded)
- Hisui: Pokemon Legends Arceus
- Paldea: Pokemon Scarlet + DLC (miraidon, iron boulder, iron crown traded)
And I'm not done yet! Here the different forms list and all my teams I used in all games and all special encounters, gifted pokemon, in-game trades and legendaries (⚠️working in progress⚠️).
