Oh Ive completed Y already once.
But after playing Pokémon Go, I thought, why not collect them all in game and then have PokeBank account thing and keep them when I play the next iteration of the game (e.g. Sun/Moon?
)
Im sure its a massive undertaking but I will do it slowly over time
Could anyone clarify my query above please? Thanks.
That's exactly what I've been doing. It's commonly known as a 'living Pokedex' to own one of each Pokemon. And yes, to use them in battle you will need multiple of each Pokemon and evolve some. It's not as time consuming as it could be, since the 6th gen Pokemon games have a lot of obtainable Pokemon in them. Many Pokemon can be caught multiple times in the wild since you can find them easily, but others you will need to breed. Breeding can be complicated, but the easiest thing to do is to get a Ditto. Ditto can breed with any Pokemon to produce eggs of the Pokemon it breeds with. Otherwise only certain Pokemon can breed with each other.
The trickiest part is getting some Legendaries, you will need to trade depending on which games you have. Which is why I played through the games multiple times, so I had spare Legendaries to trade for the ones that I couldn't get. For event Pokemon you will have to watch out for events and such, sometimes these are codes in stores (claimed for free) and other times they are downloadable over the internet.
This year they've slowly been going through every single event-only Pokemon so people have a chance to get them, one Pokemon each month. A good many of them have also had repeat runs for folks who have missed them. This month is Victini, downloadable over the internet and they have a re-run of Darkrai, also over the internet if you put in the code: DARKRAI2016.
I've almost completed the whole Pokedex, I've just got these last few event Pokemon to get and I'm done. It honestly hasn't taken me all that long if I'm honest, but I've not played for quite a while.
The new Z-move thing seems like a replacement, you need a bracelet and stone on specific pokemon to activate it once a battle after all...
And now there is talk of "synchro" evolution, which is apparently from the anime? No idea what to think about that.
Also, no gyms??? This could be a very very different pokemon game.
I don't like the Z-move idea. I'd rather have them keep Mega-evolutions. The Z-move idea seems to remove a bit more strategy from the game, players can just spam this powerful move to win. I don't like the anime, so synchro-evolution is similarly an unwanted Mega-evolution replacement.
No gyms is the only interesting thing, changing things up a bit is a good thing instead of adding layers of crap on top like the other 2 ideas. I'm worried these new games will be too easy, especially after the gen 6 games. They're making competitive Pokemon too easy to get too, with the IV ribbons and all. I prefered the way it was in gen 6, where even the new EV training required some effort and time investment.
