Comment on Day 599 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing

Every time I played a Pokemon game throughout the years, I thought “This time I’m going to fill the dex!” But there was always some you just couldn’t reasonably get so I always gave up. Big disappointment, it’s really the reason I didn’t play the last few.

It’s impressive you managed it in Gen 6.

My partner filled their DEX in Sun and Moon, the last game with every single pokemon!

I did not even come close hahaha. I focused on making an incredible IV/EV team instead.

It was just me being very stubborn really.

Technically I went a bit further since I got full Sun/Moon dex next (though if I remember correctly not Ultra, I was missing one or two of the new Ultra Beasts).

It probably was just the right time really. The DS gens (4-5) are forever compatible because they just need local wifi to transfer. But 5 to 6 (and 6 to 7) need the pokémon bank and thus 3ds e-shop. I am not sure, but unless there is a third party way to do this, I believe that DS-3DS link would be broken today. And it’s probably too late to transfer them to Switch through… Pokémon Home? I think? Is that still a thing?

And I did that right on time for that mythical pokémon distribution, because even in the past games they were only distributed in time-limited events. So I’d have no way to get most of these.

Except for Mew. Pokémon Ranch on the wii had a way to get a Mew if you had Diamond/Pearl and transferred ONE FREAKING THOUSAND POKÉMON from it. So, of course I did it, like an idiot.
