I'm working on a living dex thats probably just as crazy. An origin mark dex, having everything that can have a pentagon, everything that can have a clover, etc. about halfway through the gameboy vc games, thankfully gba-3ds i have save files already so i wont have to start from scratch on those and those will go much faster. gotta get through the time crunch before pokemon bank closes. about 50% complete on everything all together
Me personally i didnt catch all the scatterbugs and spewpas but i DID catch all Vivillon forms. However, I used my spare 2DS as a vessel by constantly changing its region by using european and japanese console nands. It was a fun night that night trading to my main xy copy all of the vivillon patterns from my 2ds. Also I did manage to get every furfrou trim from GO by definitely totally travelling across the globe (no i didnt)
I wish I was more ordered like you are in attempting this challenge. I had nearly a complete origin living dex and you had to go and make me self conscious about them being in matching balls 😂
Don’t let that get to you! We all make different rules for our living dexes! Even for me, I’m totally fine having some of these Pokémon in cherish balls even though some can be caught in pokeballs in later games!
Still following along strong! Got inspired when I was causally replying all the old games. I then saw your Gen 1 video and started to catch them all. I don't have them all in pokeballs, but I understand that want! Love the videos!
hey just want to let you know, because of you i have now nearly completed my emerald living regional dex with just pokeballs. You brought this suffering upon me
Thanks for making this video! You actually inspired me to do this challenge myself! I have gotten every Paldea, Alola, Galar, Kanto, and Kalos pokemon in a pokeball thanks to your guide. Keep up the good work and best of luck!
I have a regular Living Dex already but if I ever started a insane Living Dex + Forms it would be my life's work that I would leave to my descendants because I would never finish it in my lifetime 😂
Lol! I want to go on record as saying you are a bad influence. So, I did something similar with my Living Dex. Started last year and started cycling out all the Pokemon I had with ones from the first game they became available. I didn't do Pokeballs only though as I started trying to match colors to balls as soon as that was an option (love using Soak to catch a Blue non-water type in water centric balls easier xD) anyway, I had finished my goal late last year. But now, with time running out, I have decided to future-proof my Living Origin Dex by going on this journey AGAIN and making sure to get a male AND female (where applicable) of each pokemon so that if they add anymore cross gen evolutions later on, I will still have Gen1-Gen7 pokemon available from their Origin games without missing out. So, my Living Dex consists of Origin Dex, Shiny Dex, and Pokemon Go Dex. With soon to be an entire dex of just backup Origin just in case. Anyway, thank you for the entertaining videos and pushing me to go even further (beyond) than I had before. Also, my Shiny Living Dex recently passed 700, so I am super happy about that.
@ThedomiNATION do you feel the backup Origin Dex is going a bit far? I feel like it is, but then I look at how many cross gen evos we got just in SV and then I am like.... yeah, OCD to the maximum. I still wish that they would bring gen1-7 ports to the Switch (or even Switch 2) BUT I NEED them to give us Origin Marks for Gen 3, 4, and 5 plus make them retroactive. Might be wishful thinking but it can be done. They could even sell us the games again and I am willing to bet a large portion of the fan base would buy them when it means not being cut off from those original games/generations going forward. And don't get me started on the fact that Spinda can't be sent to/from BDSP or GO. Lol
When X and Y first came out I just did hundreds of Scatterbug for Scatterbug trades over the GTS until I got all the Vivillons. I only got like 5 with me as the OT from trades with friends but I at least got them all in Pokeballs.
@@ThedomiNATION honestly scatterbug was the most overpowered Pokemon in X and Y as a collector because as soon as I got access to the daycare and Maison I bred and hatched thousands of Scatterbugs and traded em for more Scatterbugs. Then you hit the Maison and cashed out. Sure most of your trades would net you common patterns but you’d get plenty of rare places cause it was such a low effort trade which was also likely to be in a Pokeball cause it was so basic. And if you struck gold and got a rare pattern you could very easily trade it for legendaries. All before the second gym
What an impressive project. I haven’t watched the video yet but I hope Helioptile gets more than a second of screen time. Even if not still much love. I hope you manage to complete the whole living dex one day.
The mention of Gen 3 gave me PTSD thinking about how long it took me to transfer everything from my copy of Emerald up to Home. That grind was soul crushing with the limits they set. I got impatient and was just changing the date and using another Gen 3 game to exploit the daily reset. It would have taken a full month to do 100% legit.
Yeah it’s crazy how they tried to limit how many Pokémon you could transfer a day. At least they fixed it in HGSS which is what I mainly use for transferring!
Zygarde 10% is technically considered a Generation 7 Pokemon because it was introduced in Sun and Moon. Other than that, good job with your Living Dex. I have been doing a Premier Ball Living Dex, and I'm caught up as far as I can go.
You could argue that with so many Pokémon lol but you can still catch 10% zygarde from gen 6 and the way I categorize living dexes is by species and not by form as that species of Pokémon was first discovered in Kalos!
Was there a way to tell if your eevee in gen 1 was female before sending it up? I have been stuck getting a gen 1 female eevee for a bit. Can't bring myself to do a Brock through walls again til I know if it's possible.
The same way I got bulbasaur to be female as they have the same gender ratio! You can use this site to see what stat a 0 attack eevee will have at the level you receive it! pokedream.com/games/goldsilver/stat.php
I don't have something as crazy as an origin, pokeball only, living form dex, but I do have a nearly complete living form dex! Furfrou is one of the very few mons still missing
Espurr gender works the same as every other gender of a Pokémon meaning they aren’t separate forms! It’s like how male kirlia is capable of evolving into gallade but the gender of kirlia doesn’t make it a different form!
Shouldn’t there be a gap between White Floette and Red Florges? Legends: Z-A will likely have AZ’s Eternal Flower Floette as part of the story (the ‘A’ is designed like the Ultimate Weapon from a side profile)
That’s assuming they actually let us obtain eternal flower floette in legends ZA but if they do, it’s not a big deal to move everything over by one lol. I just did the same thing for the different mothim forms!
That’s true, yeah. I was just thinking that having a placeholder gap would make sense (but that’s just me) Plus, given the links to AZ in the game’s title and how Eternal Flower Floette has an exclusive move (Light of Ruin), it would make sense for her to be obtainable at some point… The only way we’ll know for sure is if ‘Light of Ruin’ gets added to HOME’s Move Pokédex
I finished my own Original Living Dex with pokeballs only around one months ago. I end up getting pokerus faster than finding a shiny xd At the end I got a shiny clamperl from Ruby (while searching for female relicanth) and a shiny comby (while looking for white flabebe), so all good :D
Following this challenge and the last thing I have to do for gen 6 is collect all the vivillon forms (trying to do this in X and Y over PoGo, if at all possible) -- is anyone willing to trade Vivillon eggs? I am looking for: Elegant, Garden, Meadow, Monsoon, River, and Tundra. I can trade Ocean or Polar, but can also change my 3DS settings to get these forms, if you're looking for them: Icy Snow, High Plains, Modern, Sun, Archipelago, Jungle, Savanna, Marine, Continental, Sandstorm.
Even though I completely agree that a fancy vivillon from x and y is definitely cooler than what I'm about to say, there might be a possible that anyone who reads this could transfer a scatterbug/spewpa from x and y all the way up to scarlet and violet to evolve into a fancy pattern vivillon, although I have not tried it yet.
As I explained in the video, scatterbug and spewpa have the same forms as the vivillons. This is stored internally and causes the scatterbug/spewpa to evolve into the correctly assigned form they need to. So any scatterbug and spewpa caught from X and Y even sent into Scarlet and Violet, will always evolve into what pattern vivillon they were assigned based on the region the 3DS was set to when the save file was created when they were generated!
Now working on Gen 8. I've decided to do everything completely except getting the extra Scatterbugs and Spewpas. I am planning to get all 126 Alcremies though, one of each form (non Gmax and Gmax both). This will take an eternity farming for all the sweets, but at least everything is obtainable in your own copies of Sword/Shield. Have fun with generation 7!
Working through Kalos currently on my own origin form dex, personally leaving some pokemon til later gens like Keldeo, Meloetta and Vivillon fancy to have them in Pokeballs, thanks for the inspiration to redo my living dex before Bank goes down.
Just between you and me, the person I traded with told me the vivillon was duplicated from the original event one they claimed. It would’ve been great if it wasn’t but that was the best I could do after searching for so long. But it’s a legit event vivillon just a copy of another one that’s out there somewhere…
Amazing as always! Love this series and always come back to it if I need motivation for my own dex. Quick question on the Vivillons… if you trade eggs and receive an egg from, say, a Japanese language copy, does it have the “Japanese” language mark on it or ENG mark (assuming you transferred over to English)? Hopefully that makes sense what I’m asking!
Language is separate from region! So you’ll have to get a scatterbug egg that says it’s from Japan in order for it to be an elegant pattern! If you’re talking strictly language tags (like for Masuda method) I think it depends on who hatches it and not who bred for the egg!
Love your videos man! Quick question, as you’re approaching Alola, are you going to keep the Ultra Beats in Pokéballs or Beast Balls? Part of me thinks they should stay in Beast Balls, but that might just fly in the face of what you and I have been attempting. Take care!
Can’t wait to finish my gen6! Pretty fun and didn’t take too long, I’m just needing a few more Pokémon and I’ve gotta find a EU 3DS 😅 Also gotta get those mothim too!
oh man going out and sourcing foreign consoles and carts for vivillions is crazy dedication. i did all the vivillions a similar way last year but used custom firmware to change my consoles region to get them all on one console.
Yeah I was actually gonna explain in the video that you could use the controller but between having my gyro controls turned off and having both joy cons and pro controller connected, I was having too many issues with it 😅
For the Zygarde form debate, I would personally say you would need 4 Zygarde for bonus completion. According to Bulbapedia, Zygarde with Aura Break and Zygarde with Power Construct are internally considered to be different forms from each other. Really the only difference between the Zygarde ability forms and Greninja’s ability forms is that Zygarde has an item that lets you change it.
The counter argument would be that home doesn’t list the Power Construct 50% and 10% Zygarde as separate forms from the Aura Break 10% and 50% Zygarde. So it would be weird to list battle bond greninja and own tempo rockruff as separate but not power construct zygarde. So maybe we could treat it as another optional addition but idk it seems a lot weirder than the other ones…
I ended up region changing my Japanese 2DS to get the European Vermillion. Since it was running custom firmware, I was at least able to still use my NA copy of X/Y and didn’t need to hunt down another cartridge.
KALOS MENTIONED 🗣️🗣️ but seriously, good job! I feel like after the 3ds servers go down, there'll be new fan servers similar to wiimfi, and there may be a new "dns exploit" so you might be able to get all your gen 6 mythicals to say "From Kalos" someday! Though it might require a modded 3ds, I think it'll be fairly legit when it comes to home flagging pokemon. As long as those fan servers come online before Bank also shuts down. Can't wait for Alola!
Well all my mythicals are from the original gen 6 events and I care more about those ones than having them specifically say from Kalos! The whole point of this challenge was to actually catch every Pokémon from their older generation they could be obtained from! Not necessarily the specific regions! That’s why my sylveon says it’s from Kanto!
@@ThedomiNATION Yeah, I was just saying, just in case you might want to update it and make it "More Perfect", since all the rest of your gen 6 pokemon do say "From Kalos" (aside from the fancy scatterbug/spewpa). We could possibly be expecting "Legit" (along the lines of the dns exploit) Mythicals in gens 6-7 within maybe a year or two.
aura break zygarde and power construct zygarde are actually considered different forms within the game's code, and using the zygarde cube changes its form, not the ability directly
The zygarde thing, it's more akin to the different Oricorio forms than Melloeta, there are 4 boxable forms of Zygarde just like there are 20 boxable forms of scatterbug
If that’s the case I will revisit x and y. If I wanted to get extras of Pokémon in case they get new evolutions/forms, I would essentially have to catch extras of every single Pokémon!
If you have a North American 3DS you can set your region to Saudi Arabia as I did in this video. If not you’ll have to either trade for one or hope for someone from the sandstorm locations to add you in Pokémon go then send you gifts from the locations so you can send the postcards into scarlet and violet and catch them there!
It will evolve into whatever form your region is locked to. The form is determined when the egg is received which is why I traded for the eggs of the other regions instead of trying to breed them myself. If I tried to breed them myself I would only get polar pattern
You would likely need a second system to do it on and be able to trade to a main save. That’s what I did. I had a second system I changed my region on, then traded the scatterbug to my main 3DS
I'm as obsessive as someone with OCD and if my Pokémon were to get POKERUS I'd consider them NOT CLEAN anymore (and recatch them for the sake of purity)
I'm doing the same challenge and basically following along. My gen 6 dex is almost complete except for the Vivillons. Can you really change the region on your 3ds without any problems? I always thought you'd lose your online access, poke bank and everything if you changed the region. So can you actually get poke bank back if you change your location back to your default?
You should be able to change your region without losing any software. I originally thought that you had to format your 3DS every time but Echo told me you can just change it in the settings. So you won’t lose anything! It would as if you just moved! However you can only have access to so many locations due to the 3DS’s region locking.
Good luck! Playing through those games 4 times was tough but at least they were very linear pokemon games to play through with barely any backtracking!
People think that takes longer than it does I guess. Every time they add new regional variants I move everything down and it only takes like 10-15 minutes to do
@@ThedomiNATION yeah that’s fair. Would you qualify that version as Kalos region? Or would you see it as Lumiose City or whatever the new region name will be in Legends?
It doesn’t really matter region as I said in the video when I mentioned the hoopa and volcanion. I just care that they are obtained from the earliest generation of games they can be obtained from. So it would be a generation 9 floette but since that’s the earliest generation you’d be able to catch it from anyway that would be fine. As for whatever region it will be from, it’ll just be what the game says it’s from. Which is more than likely either Kalos or some other name we don’t know yet like how they called old Sinnoh, Hisui.
Pokémon got gender variants in later generations, so I think the best thing we could do to be prepared is to catch both genders of all the Pokémon that have gender forms, not just variants. Eevee for example got a gender variant with the Let's Go releases in 2018 if I'm not mistaken.
Eevee is the only example of a Pokémon getting a new gender difference post gen 4. They also don’t really do gender differences anymore so it’s unlikely they would add more for later generations of already existing Pokémon
@@ThedomiNATION Ok, I thought there were more. But what if they bring out more gender variants after Bank closes? Then we can't get back to the old games to get the Pokémon from as far back as possible.
The pattern of scatterbug is determined when you receive the scatterbug/egg and based on the region of game. Doesn’t matter where you send it to and what pattern of vivillon you breed. This is why I have each of the line 3 times because they have the internal patterns. Also as I’m pretty sure I mentioned in the video, I got volcanion in both my Y copy and my Alpha Sapphire copy but I traded away the one I go from my Y copy.
I am doing a similar challenge, Bird Keeper Toby's Master Dex Challenge, and I have been stalled out on Generation 3 but have made progress in Gens 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. I do need to go over my progress exactlt, but I do know I have every Vivillon form available including the event distributions because I was a very active XY player.
@@ThedomiNATION Think of it was your Origin Dex with additional challenges from every game you can connect to the mainline series. There are optional stars for so many different things.
I am about to finish my gen 1 origin form dex. Just making my way through Legends Arceus for H-Growlithe line and H-Voltorb line. Then on to Gen 2! Trying to get this dex before the 3DS servers shuts down is most likely not happening. Hopefully we can still use the WiFi exploit for Gen IV and V, otherwise I’ll be forced to catch them in later games. Also, no copy of Pokémon Ranger to get that special manaphy so probably just catching that one in Legends Arceus as well. Have to accept that I can’t catch every Pokémon from those games. Still debating on the Pomeg glitch for Deoxys in Gen III, but not looking forward to beating the game 4 times to do so.
Really just sucks these Pokémon aren’t just naturally obtainable in their original games. Only thing we can hope for at this point is all these games being released on Switch 2 as virtual releases, and unlocking mythical events like virtual Crystal did for Celebi.
I really hope they do the virtual console release like with celebi in Crystal! As for the dns exploit, that will for sure work after the online gets shut down for the 3DS! Those exploits are for the DS whose online shut down so many years ago! The way it works is Nintendo simply shuts down their servers, they can’t hack into our systems and disable wifi for them! So the fan made servers that the dns exploit uses will still be up and you’ll still be able to connect to them! There’s even a chance that there will be a dns exploit for the gen 6 and 7 events once the online shuts down! As for manaphy I think you can get a manaphy egg from the gen 4 dns exploit! So you could still get it from gen 4!
@@ThedomiNATION I’ll keep that Manaphy tip in my toolkit for now. I appreciate it! Love these living dex videos! Served as my inspiration to start my own origin living dex journey.
feel bad you’ve gone through six gens and no shinys along this journey, currently doing my own living dex from their home regions and found 2(3) shiny pokemon and pokerus in emerald
Every stream I do so many people are like “I found x amount of shinies doing this same challenge!” Or what I got a bunch for this gen was “I found a random shiny where you’re at right now when I was completing gen 6!” Hopefully I can find something in gen 7 I would love to get one before gen 9 comes around 😭😭
Hold back performs exactly the same as false swipe. On top of that, it’s an event exclusive move that only 7 Pokémon have ever been able to learn in the entire series
It's sad that Pokémon like Spikey-eared Pichu and Eternal Flower Floette are stuck in old games and can't be traded. I hope that we at least get Eternal Floette considering the new Legends game literally has AZ's name in it (I know it's technically Z-A not A-Z but it's still interesting)
I would try to look around online on Twitter or Reddit or other sites and see if you can find people to trade eggs with before the online shuts down! Either that or use the Pokémon go postcards for SV
I hope Z-A let us stay furfro in that forms and don't revert then while they in the box Also if you want to do 150% I would say you should make 4 zygarde. At least that's what I did make for mine 2 as 50% and 2 as 10%. While one if each has the ability that makes it be a 100% form Did the same for darmanitian I think is the English name? The fire gen 5 ape since it's the same case as Greninja I would say
So I got a few comments on zygarde and event though you can change the ability with the zygarde cube, according o Bulbapedia, internally, it is considered a separate form. So you’re essentially changing the form with the cube. I would classify it as a non required form like the scatterbug/spewpa and mothim. So I’ll probably go and catch a couple more when I make the gen 7 living Dex video. As for darmanitan. Zen mode is only a temporary battle form like a mega evolution and the ability that allows it to change does not consider it to be a separate form. As you can simply use an ability patch for that ability change! So having two of each darmanitan wouldn’t really count the same way. And for furfrou, I guarantee the different forms will be boxable once legends ZA comes out! This is because the pc issue reverting the forms was fixed in gen 7 but bank still had the issue. Home doesn’t have the issue as you can bring in the separate forms from GO without them reverting! So unless they for some reason reintroduce the pc issue that gen 6 had, we should be good!
@@ThedomiNATION yeah that's what I meant I hoping that they don't bring back that PC issue because I rather want mine to be from XY instead of home especially since I try to get all of them as shiny as well meaning I need 18 from go and the shiny is so hard to get with a trim from go 🥲
I might do it in the Region of origin so all the Pokémon in the hisui Dex will be caught In hisui or everything in the sinnoh platinum Dex will be caught in Sinnoh or hisui
I’d recommend grabbing a spare Xerneas, Yveltal and Zygarde from XY in case the give new forms in Legends ZA and we lose bank connectivity before ZA to HOME connectivity is released
That would makes sense, but on the other hand if I want to get extras in case they add new forms or evolutions, I would have to catch extras of every Pokémon just to be safe 😭
This Is a sub category of a living dex, a forme dex. (Catch every forme of every pokemon) the normal living dex only requires every individual species so you won't need both a female and male venasaur for example. If you want to start a living dex I would definitely suggest just doing a normal one instead of a forme.
Would you attempt a full living dex as crazy as this including even the optional forms? How far are you into your living dex?
You mean are we as crazy as you? I am, but I can't speak for the rest of us.
I'm working on a living dex thats probably just as crazy. An origin mark dex, having everything that can have a pentagon, everything that can have a clover, etc. about halfway through the gameboy vc games, thankfully gba-3ds i have save files already so i wont have to start from scratch on those and those will go much faster. gotta get through the time crunch before pokemon bank closes. about 50% complete on everything all together
I'm far behind on mine, got a lot from the ds/3ds Era I STILL need to grab
Me personally i didnt catch all the scatterbugs and spewpas but i DID catch all Vivillon forms. However, I used my spare 2DS as a vessel by constantly changing its region by using european and japanese console nands. It was a fun night that night trading to my main xy copy all of the vivillon patterns from my 2ds.

Im stuck on gen 4 right now, freaking legendaries
So glad they cut down on the amount of legendaries starting in this gen! Although gen 7 does have a lot still…
Funny enough the copy of Y I bought was pre owned, and had both vivillon, as well as the cherish ball torchic evolved into a Blaziken.
That’s awesome!

That’s assuming they actually let us obtain eternal flower floette in legends ZA but if they do, it’s not a big deal to move everything over by one lol. I just did the same thing for the different mothim forms!
That’s true, yeah. I was just thinking that having a placeholder gap would make sense (but that’s just me)
Plus, given the links to AZ in the game’s title and how Eternal Flower Floette has an exclusive move (Light of Ruin), it would make sense for her to be obtainable at some point…
The only way we’ll know for sure is if ‘Light of Ruin’ gets added to HOME’s Move Pokédex
Brazil mentioned!! Congrats for all dex and all vivillions!
29:03 just realized wont you need to catch 2 scatterbug from sv as they would have their own forms too
31:46 I keep eating my words
lol the journey I’ve watched you go on while watching this video 😂
02:50 And you were patient enough to get that Vivillon with Timid nature.
I don’t think I reset for it as I just got back into the series and didn’t even know what natures did lol
I finished my own Original Living Dex with pokeballs only around one months ago. I end up getting pokerus faster than finding a shiny xd
At the end I got a shiny clamperl from Ruby (while searching for female relicanth) and a shiny comby (while looking for white flabebe), so all good :D
I’m jealous! Congrats!
20:26 fun fact breeding flabébé and pumkaboo will pass down their form seeing as iirc both have a 1% form
22:03 welp
Following this challenge and the last thing I have to do for gen 6 is collect all the vivillon forms (trying to do this in X and Y over PoGo, if at all possible) -- is anyone willing to trade Vivillon eggs?
I am looking for: Elegant, Garden, Meadow, Monsoon, River, and Tundra.
I can trade Ocean or Polar, but can also change my 3DS settings to get these forms, if you're looking for them: Icy Snow, High Plains, Modern, Sun, Archipelago, Jungle, Savanna, Marine, Continental, Sandstorm.
Even though I completely agree that a fancy vivillon from x and y is definitely cooler than what I'm about to say, there might be a possible that anyone who reads this could transfer a scatterbug/spewpa from x and y all the way up to scarlet and violet to evolve into a fancy pattern vivillon, although I have not tried it yet.
As I explained in the video, scatterbug and spewpa have the same forms as the vivillons. This is stored internally and causes the scatterbug/spewpa to evolve into the correctly assigned form they need to. So any scatterbug and spewpa caught from X and Y even sent into Scarlet and Violet, will always evolve into what pattern vivillon they were assigned based on the region the 3DS was set to when the save file was created when they were generated!
@@ThedomiNATIONOh thats interesting!
Now working on Gen 8. I've decided to do everything completely except getting the extra Scatterbugs and Spewpas. I am planning to get all 126 Alcremies though, one of each form (non Gmax and Gmax both). This will take an eternity farming for all the sweets, but at least everything is obtainable in your own copies of Sword/Shield. Have fun with generation 7!
Working through Kalos currently on my own origin form dex, personally leaving some pokemon til later gens like Keldeo, Meloetta and Vivillon fancy to have them in Pokeballs, thanks for the inspiration to redo my living dex before Bank goes down.
3:47 what are the odds it's duplicated/hacked tbh? Although personally I don't really care
Just between you and me, the person I traded with told me the vivillon was duplicated from the original event one they claimed. It would’ve been great if it wasn’t but that was the best I could do after searching for so long. But it’s a legit event vivillon just a copy of another one that’s out there somewhere…
@@ThedomiNATION yeah I totally understand, that's why I don't really mind if it was duped or not
Amazing as always! Love this series and always come back to it if I need motivation for my own dex.
Quick question on the Vivillons… if you trade eggs and receive an egg from, say, a Japanese language copy, does it have the “Japanese” language mark on it or ENG mark (assuming you transferred over to English)? Hopefully that makes sense what I’m asking!
Language is separate from region! So you’ll have to get a scatterbug egg that says it’s from Japan in order for it to be an elegant pattern!
If you’re talking strictly language tags (like for Masuda method) I think it depends on who hatches it and not who bred for the egg!
@@ThedomiNATION yep, I meant language, not region. That was the answer I was hoping for since I want them all to say “ENG.” Thanks!
Let's gooooooooo been waiting for this next up will be definitely just as good as this
Love your videos man! Quick question, as you’re approaching Alola, are you going to keep the Ultra Beats in Pokéballs or Beast Balls? Part of me thinks they should stay in Beast Balls, but that might just fly in the face of what you and I have been attempting. Take care!
I’m gonna be catching them in Pokeballs! And thank you!
Can’t wait to finish my gen6! Pretty fun and didn’t take too long, I’m just needing a few more Pokémon and I’ve gotta find a EU 3DS 😅
Also gotta get those mothim too!
Good luck!
Would you happen to know how many 3DS minimum you would need to get all the forms
@@jimmygudiel3007 3 iirc, one for like North America, one for Japanese, and one for European, just for the Vivillon patterns
Lol imagine Legends Z-A adds more furfrou forms.
If it does I’ll have to revisit X and Y!
ITS HERE
This is really cool, if i can only do this i do it, thanks for the video
oh man going out and sourcing foreign consoles and carts for vivillions is crazy dedication. i did all the vivillions a similar way last year but used custom firmware to change my consoles region to get them all on one console.
for inkay.. you actually dont need to take the switch out from the dock.. you can just turn your joycon/procon upside down in order to evolve inkay
Yeah I was actually gonna explain in the video that you could use the controller but between having my gyro controls turned off and having both joy cons and pro controller connected, I was having too many issues with it 😅
For the Zygarde form debate, I would personally say you would need 4 Zygarde for bonus completion. According to Bulbapedia, Zygarde with Aura Break and Zygarde with Power Construct are internally considered to be different forms from each other. Really the only difference between the Zygarde ability forms and Greninja’s ability forms is that Zygarde has an item that lets you change it.
The counter argument would be that home doesn’t list the Power Construct 50% and 10% Zygarde as separate forms from the Aura Break 10% and 50% Zygarde. So it would be weird to list battle bond greninja and own tempo rockruff as separate but not power construct zygarde. So maybe we could treat it as another optional addition but idk it seems a lot weirder than the other ones…
Nice I just finished your gen 2 video and now I can watch this one
You gotta watch then in generation order though! 😂
37:46 might have been easier to nickname them to know the difference
The markings work great! And it would break the consistency of having none of the Pokémon nicknamed if only the scatterbug line was nicknamed!
I ended up region changing my Japanese 2DS to get the European Vermillion. Since it was running custom firmware, I was at least able to still use my NA copy of X/Y and didn’t need to hunt down another cartridge.
KALOS MENTIONED 🗣️🗣️ but seriously, good job! I feel like after the 3ds servers go down, there'll be new fan servers similar to wiimfi, and there may be a new "dns exploit" so you might be able to get all your gen 6 mythicals to say "From Kalos" someday! Though it might require a modded 3ds, I think it'll be fairly legit when it comes to home flagging pokemon. As long as those fan servers come online before Bank also shuts down. Can't wait for Alola!
Well all my mythicals are from the original gen 6 events and I care more about those ones than having them specifically say from Kalos! The whole point of this challenge was to actually catch every Pokémon from their older generation they could be obtained from! Not necessarily the specific regions! That’s why my sylveon says it’s from Kanto!
@@ThedomiNATION Yeah, I was just saying, just in case you might want to update it and make it "More Perfect", since all the rest of your gen 6 pokemon do say "From Kalos" (aside from the fancy scatterbug/spewpa). We could possibly be expecting "Legit" (along the lines of the dns exploit) Mythicals in gens 6-7 within maybe a year or two.
aura break zygarde and power construct zygarde are actually considered different forms within the game's code, and using the zygarde cube changes its form, not the ability directly
That was most likely one of my Pokeball vivilons, I had cloned a bunch than traded them on various subreddits like Pokemon Home
The zygarde thing, it's more akin to the different Oricorio forms than Melloeta, there are 4 boxable forms of Zygarde just like there are 20 boxable forms of scatterbug
I address this in the gen 7 video!
I'm only missing the elegant, trendy and savanna pattern, can someone help me with these? I'd only need one egg for each pattern 🙏🏼
How many different 3DS do you need at minimum to get all scatterbug forms?
I believe it’s 3
with new legends games. It might be possible to get a new form of the starters final evolution. So should we get an extra starters from past games?
If that’s the case I will revisit x and y. If I wanted to get extras of Pokémon in case they get new evolutions/forms, I would essentially have to catch extras of every single Pokémon!
I see you do not have a Zygarde Cell in Pokémon home. Challenge failed.😂
If only the cells were possible to catch… maybe in legends ZA!
I’m trying to complete a living form dex too, I need a savanna patterned vivillon, where is a good place to try get one ???
If you have a North American 3DS you can set your region to Saudi Arabia as I did in this video. If not you’ll have to either trade for one or hope for someone from the sandstorm locations to add you in Pokémon go then send you gifts from the locations so you can send the postcards into scarlet and violet and catch them there!
If I have all the Vivilon forms if I breed them will the Scatterbug evolve into their respective forms or into the form that my is region locked into
the form your region is locked to
It will evolve into whatever form your region is locked to. The form is determined when the egg is received which is why I traded for the eggs of the other regions instead of trying to breed them myself. If I tried to breed them myself I would only get polar pattern
i have to know how did you change your region without losing access to pokemon bank for all the vivillon patterns
You would likely need a second system to do it on and be able to trade to a main save. That’s what I did. I had a second system I changed my region on, then traded the scatterbug to my main 3DS
I'm as obsessive as someone with OCD and if my Pokémon were to get POKERUS I'd consider them NOT CLEAN anymore (and recatch them for the sake of purity)
I think I’d rather have all of my Pokémon have pokerus as opposed to none of them
@ThedomiNATION Considering how long it took you to get the white Flabébé line that's an honest option 💀
I'm doing the same challenge and basically following along. My gen 6 dex is almost complete except for the Vivillons. Can you really change the region on your 3ds without any problems? I always thought you'd lose your online access, poke bank and everything if you changed the region. So can you actually get poke bank back if you change your location back to your default?
You should be able to change your region without losing any software. I originally thought that you had to format your 3DS every time but Echo told me you can just change it in the settings. So you won’t lose anything! It would as if you just moved! However you can only have access to so many locations due to the 3DS’s region locking.
Fourth playthough of black and white has been killing me. Hopefully catch up to Gen 6 by the time the Gen 7 video is up.
Good luck! Playing through those games 4 times was tough but at least they were very linear pokemon games to play through with barely any backtracking!
I can’t wait for Alola next!
Shiny only living dex legends arceus but just alphas I aim high.
I can’t even imagine doing that! Good luck to you!
Gonna be kicking yourself when we do get eternal flower floette and you have to move everything down three spaces to place it 😂
People think that takes longer than it does I guess. Every time they add new regional variants I move everything down and it only takes like 10-15 minutes to do
@@ThedomiNATION yeah that’s fair. Would you qualify that version as Kalos region? Or would you see it as Lumiose City or whatever the new region name will be in Legends?
It doesn’t really matter region as I said in the video when I mentioned the hoopa and volcanion. I just care that they are obtained from the earliest generation of games they can be obtained from. So it would be a generation 9 floette but since that’s the earliest generation you’d be able to catch it from anyway that would be fine. As for whatever region it will be from, it’ll just be what the game says it’s from. Which is more than likely either Kalos or some other name we don’t know yet like how they called old Sinnoh, Hisui.
Can't wait until you do generation 7 but now I have to go back and catch these spiupa and pupa
Oh no I’m sorry for making you aware of the different hidden forms! 🫣
Been doing what you’re doing but I just finished gen 2 lol. Im just hoping the pokebank stays on long enough for me to finish up to gen 7
Good luck! I’m sure you have plenty of time before bank shuts down!
I joined this right around when he was catching white flebebe
Pokémon got gender variants in later generations, so I think the best thing we could do to be prepared is to catch both genders of all the Pokémon that have gender forms, not just variants. Eevee for example got a gender variant with the Let's Go releases in 2018 if I'm not mistaken.
Eevee is the only example of a Pokémon getting a new gender difference post gen 4. They also don’t really do gender differences anymore so it’s unlikely they would add more for later generations of already existing Pokémon
@@ThedomiNATION Ok, I thought there were more.
But what if they bring out more gender variants after Bank closes? Then we can't get back to the old games to get the Pokémon from as far back as possible.
Can't you just catch a Scatterbug and send it to Gen 9 an then evolve it? Btw, Volcanion was available in XY as well.
The pattern of scatterbug is determined when you receive the scatterbug/egg and based on the region of game. Doesn’t matter where you send it to and what pattern of vivillon you breed. This is why I have each of the line 3 times because they have the internal patterns.
Also as I’m pretty sure I mentioned in the video, I got volcanion in both my Y copy and my Alpha Sapphire copy but I traded away the one I go from my Y copy.
I am doing a similar challenge, Bird Keeper Toby's Master Dex Challenge, and I have been stalled out on Generation 3 but have made progress in Gens 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. I do need to go over my progress exactlt, but I do know I have every Vivillon form available including the event distributions because I was a very active XY player.
Nice! I’ve never seen their master Dex challenge before I’m guessing it’s pretty tough!
@@ThedomiNATION Think of it was your Origin Dex with additional challenges from every game you can connect to the mainline series. There are optional stars for so many different things.
I am about to finish my gen 1 origin form dex. Just making my way through Legends Arceus for H-Growlithe line and H-Voltorb line. Then on to Gen 2!
Trying to get this dex before the 3DS servers shuts down is most likely not happening. Hopefully we can still use the WiFi exploit for Gen IV and V, otherwise I’ll be forced to catch them in later games. Also, no copy of Pokémon Ranger to get that special manaphy so probably just catching that one in Legends Arceus as well. Have to accept that I can’t catch every Pokémon from those games. Still debating on the Pomeg glitch for Deoxys in Gen III, but not looking forward to beating the game 4 times to do so.
Really just sucks these Pokémon aren’t just naturally obtainable in their original games. Only thing we can hope for at this point is all these games being released on Switch 2 as virtual releases, and unlocking mythical events like virtual Crystal did for Celebi.
I really hope they do the virtual console release like with celebi in Crystal! As for the dns exploit, that will for sure work after the online gets shut down for the 3DS! Those exploits are for the DS whose online shut down so many years ago! The way it works is Nintendo simply shuts down their servers, they can’t hack into our systems and disable wifi for them! So the fan made servers that the dns exploit uses will still be up and you’ll still be able to connect to them! There’s even a chance that there will be a dns exploit for the gen 6 and 7 events once the online shuts down!
As for manaphy I think you can get a manaphy egg from the gen 4 dns exploit! So you could still get it from gen 4!
@@ThedomiNATION I’ll keep that Manaphy tip in my toolkit for now. I appreciate it! Love these living dex videos! Served as my inspiration to start my own origin living dex journey.
Got my first shiny in this challenge, hunting down that white Flabebe. Got an Azurill
Congrats! I’m so jealous! All I got looking for flabebe was pokerus 😭
I’m now realizing that my Shiny Male Pyroar I got in my X is rare, found him randomly while looking for a Riolu 😂
That’s crazy! It took me like 40 minutes just to find a regular male litleo! Granted I got pretty unlucky with the odds but still!
feel bad you’ve gone through six gens and no shinys along this journey, currently doing my own living dex from their home regions and found 2(3) shiny pokemon and pokerus in emerald
Every stream I do so many people are like “I found x amount of shinies doing this same challenge!” Or what I got a bunch for this gen was “I found a random shiny where you’re at right now when I was completing gen 6!”
Hopefully I can find something in gen 7 I would love to get one before gen 9 comes around 😭😭
well done
Hold back would be a great move instead of false swipe
Hold back performs exactly the same as false swipe. On top of that, it’s an event exclusive move that only 7 Pokémon have ever been able to learn in the entire series
It's sad that Pokémon like Spikey-eared Pichu and Eternal Flower Floette are stuck in old games and can't be traded. I hope that we at least get Eternal Floette considering the new Legends game literally has AZ's name in it (I know it's technically Z-A not A-Z but it's still interesting)
I really hope we get eternal flower floette in legends Z-A! Maybe when they do the next Johto remake they’ll give us spiky eared pichu again!
@@ThedomiNATION Yeah, that would be very good and helpful for a completionist like you (rip for the chance of Pokèball Pattern Scatterbug/Spewpa)
I don't have an Echo in my life 😢 Vivillon is the last hurdle my brother, sister, and I have to figure out somehow
I would try to look around online on Twitter or Reddit or other sites and see if you can find people to trade eggs with before the online shuts down! Either that or use the Pokémon go postcards for SV
I hope Z-A let us stay furfro in that forms and don't revert then while they in the box
Also if you want to do 150% I would say you should make 4 zygarde. At least that's what I did make for mine 2 as 50% and 2 as 10%. While one if each has the ability that makes it be a 100% form
Did the same for darmanitian I think is the English name? The fire gen 5 ape since it's the same case as Greninja I would say
So I got a few comments on zygarde and event though you can change the ability with the zygarde cube, according o Bulbapedia, internally, it is considered a separate form. So you’re essentially changing the form with the cube. I would classify it as a non required form like the scatterbug/spewpa and mothim. So I’ll probably go and catch a couple more when I make the gen 7 living Dex video.
As for darmanitan. Zen mode is only a temporary battle form like a mega evolution and the ability that allows it to change does not consider it to be a separate form. As you can simply use an ability patch for that ability change! So having two of each darmanitan wouldn’t really count the same way.
And for furfrou, I guarantee the different forms will be boxable once legends ZA comes out! This is because the pc issue reverting the forms was fixed in gen 7 but bank still had the issue. Home doesn’t have the issue as you can bring in the separate forms from GO without them reverting! So unless they for some reason reintroduce the pc issue that gen 6 had, we should be good!
@@ThedomiNATION yeah that's what I meant I hoping that they don't bring back that PC issue because I rather want mine to be from XY instead of home especially since I try to get all of them as shiny as well meaning I need 18 from go and the shiny is so hard to get with a trim from go 🥲
I might do it in the Region of origin so all the Pokémon in the hisui Dex will be caught In hisui or everything in the sinnoh platinum Dex will be caught in Sinnoh or hisui
That’s a great way to do it!
WHENS THE ALOLA GUIDE COMIN 😩😩
man getting vivillons is hard, i only have 3 so far and one of them is the one i can get in my game
Yeah definitely one of the hardest sets to complete. I’m still very grateful to have someone who was willing to get me the ones my 3DS couldn’t get
@@ThedomiNATION yea, and i have like a week to get all 18 patterns, monsoon will definitely be the hardest one to find
Now get all the vivillion shiny
Some day I’ll probably do it in SV with how easy it’ll be lol
I’d recommend grabbing a spare Xerneas, Yveltal and Zygarde from XY in case the give new forms in Legends ZA and we lose bank connectivity before ZA to HOME connectivity is released
That would makes sense, but on the other hand if I want to get extras in case they add new forms or evolutions, I would have to catch extras of every Pokémon just to be safe 😭
Rio what😂
De Janeiro like the city in Brazil
Too bad with Pokémon bank not being usable soon people can’t do things like this again
Brasil mencionado🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
The forms are why I won't try
You can at least get them in Scarlet and violet if you send postcards in from GO!
This Is a sub category of a living dex, a forme dex. (Catch every forme of every pokemon) the normal living dex only requires every individual species so you won't need both a female and male venasaur for example. If you want to start a living dex I would definitely suggest just doing a normal one instead of a forme.
@@ThedomiNATION true. I have a couple weeks left of 3ds online activity left. Might go all in for viviillion
@@QuantumIV yeah u have a living dex. I'm trying to clean it up and do something similar to this guys dex.
