I was recently organizing 8 boxes of Pokemon and thought it'd be fun to see how everyone else does it, kinda like this thread.
I've reworked my boxes a bit over the years, but since Gen III, I've always had the same general system. Here's how my Black system is working:
I've reworked my boxes a bit over the years, but since Gen III, I've always had the same general system. Here's how my Black system is working:
First box is Personal, which is for my Lv. 100s, frequently used party, and anything I'm working on at the moment. Following that one, the next sixteen boxes are devoted to types, in order of Pokedex number:
Grass (Bulbasaur)
Fire (Charmander)
Water (Squirtle)
Bug (Caterpie)
Normal (Pidgey)
Poison (Ekans)
Electric (Pikachu)
Ground (Sandshrew)
Fighting (Mankey)
Psychic (Abra)
Rock (Geodude)
Ghost (Gastly)
Ice (Jynx)
Dragon (Dratini)
Dark (Umbreon)
Steel (Steelix)
Box 24 is for legends, Box 23 for Events, Box 22 for DW Pokemon.
If a Pokemon is dual-type, I use the first type listed as the box it goes in. So Geodude (Rock/Ground) goes in Rock, and Rhydon (Ground/Rock) goes in Ground. Since Flying is never a primary type, it doesn't have it's own box.
After that, each dual-type is organized in the same order, with a space in between. So, you'd maybe see in my Grass box, in horizontal order:
Sunflora (Grass)
Space
Bulbasaur (Grass/Poison)
Ivysaur
Space
Snover (Grass/Ice)
And then those of the same exact type are sorted by Pokedex order. Multiples are sorted by level.
It's probably way more complicated that it should be, but I like it for the most part.
