XY Organizing Boxes

[Shiny Dragonite]

I WANNA KNOW!

How do you organize your PC?
I've been trying to find a good way to organize my PC boxes. I want to be able to sort them in a good way. I've got too many flaws for my current set up.

 

[Eron]

I put in one box my starters, in others the 5-1 31IV's Pokémon descending from 5 to 1. In other my Vivillons. And in the rest I put my commons.

It takes a lot of time for me to organize my boxes. So far, I have boxes for eggs, Vivillions, lvl. 1s that I've hatched, main Pokemon that I battle with/legendaries, Pokemon caught in the safari, wonder trade Pokemon, Pokemon from trades, Pokemon to evolve, and fully evolved/1-evolution Pokemon.

It can get quite hectic. I have to remember to move around pokemon after a trade to the trade boxes. I also group Pokemon together. For example, if I have 5 Bulbasaurs, they must be next to each other. But, it can be quite helpful. For example, when I'm trying to complete my pokedex by evolving, I have a box I can immediately go to and pull out each of the Pokemon one by one. And, it's good for trading, so I don't have to search all over the place for certain Pokemon.

Oh, I also have a box for pokemon to breed next. After I receive a new Pokemon or a foreign pokemon (for my dex), I must breed them. It's a OCD thing.

Trust me, I understand the OCD.

I'm thinking of listing most Pokémon by when I caught them. That way post-game Pokémon will be more separated from Kalos dex Pokémon.

 

[Prince Dedenne]

In my PC, boxes 1 - 24 have Pokémon in order of the national Pokédex, Bulbasaur to Zygarde. Boxes 27, 28, and 29 have my competitive Pokémon, box 30 has my Vivillon collection and shinies, and box 31 has every mega evolution. Boxes 25 and 26 contain random Pokémon. (Dittos, leftover offspring from breeding, and anything else that's worth keeping for trade) Needless to say, I'm out of room and can't wait for Pokémon Bank to be released.

 

[Blob55]

Actually, does anyone know if Bank sorts things by date of when you caught/obtained a Pokémon?

I'd doubt it. Nintento already screwed us over by postponing it for so long.

I thought about doing something similar, but I also would love a way to signify Hidden Ability pokes.

What I do with Hidden Abilities in this game is I mark them with a star. I did used to put them in boxes numerically in previous games, though.

 

[Luckyfire]

I think I used to sort them by types and legendaries and traded Pokemon… and for Totodile eggs in HGSS. xD

Unfotunately I can't mark them with a star because I mark the perfect IVs..

Then mark them with a star and a diamond.

Use another symbol, then.

 

[Omanyte]

Back in my Leafgreen game, I would organize my Pokemon by type. Water, fire, etc. Some boxes would have two types if I didn't have a lot of Pokemon of types (like rock/ground, I believe).

Nowadays though I don't have them organized at all. =P Except for the Vivillons! I divide my Vivillons by color. Since I've gotten a lot of Scatterbugs that I've evolved into Vivillons via the GTS, thats a lot of Vivillons! Once I trade away all my spare Vivillons I'll have to organize my X/Y boxes by type. That'll make finding Pokemon much easier!

 

[Mitja]

I make my system up as I go along playing the game and doing stuff.

Being able to switch boxes is really nice!

Some of them are the following:
-Synchronize box (Abras/Ralts with Synchronize ability, sorted in a 5x5 grid by natures)
-Ditto box (with 2-3 perfect IV dittos from safari)
-shiny box (regular shinies, crappy ones from pokeradar/chainfishing)
-Lv1 train ready (either bred or traded pokemon that are top in terms of ability/IVs/nature/egg-moves and merely require EV training and moves..)
-battle ready (100% competitively ready pokemon)
-useful (flamebody/sweetscent/HM slaves..)
-ingame (casual pokemon like from the playthrough of the game, along with legendaries)
-3 boxes of females with hidden ability from friend safari
-3 boxes of random traded/wondertraded pokemon
-3 boxes of leftovers from breeding
-Parent box (lineage of current pokemon I am breeding for right IVs etc)
-5 boxes for bred pokemon

Unfotunately I can't mark them with a star because I mark the perfect IVs..

Use another symbol, then.

No he means each symbol for each perfect stat.

I'm doing the same, as is pretty much anyone I have traded with in the past 3 months, and even through wondertrade I sometimes get marked lv1 Pokemon that are obviously breeding leftovers with the perfect stats marked.
So I had the feeling this was so common by now that I would automatically expect a pokemon like that to have perfect speed (or whichever number the star was of the 6 symbols) and take it to the judge in Kiloude to confirm.

I find it really convenient ;D

No he means each symbol for each perfect stat.

Which is why I suggested using two symbols.

Why would you need to keep all of the symbols reserved after you're finished?

Anyway, if you can't use the marking system, then you either reserve boxes for them or don't sort them at all, there's not much choice.

Which is why I suggested using two symbols.

Basically what I think he's doing is this:

Circle- Perfect HP
Triangle- Perfect Attack
Square- Perfect Defense
Heart- Perfect Special Attack
Star- Perfect Special Defense
Diamond- Perfect Speed

Which leaves him no room to use symbols for other things. Using another symbol wouldn't work because it would falsely indicate the Pokemon has two perfect stats.
