Part 2 is now live! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h997acp81Nm6np8.html

Don't forget to download all the Pokemon software you want on the 3DS before the eshop closes on March 27th!

Love seeing people get Pokémon in their original regions. Just feels right 😊

As someone who only likes using Pokeballs, this is the exact type of video that appeals to me. Awesome work!

omg i didn't know 'bout the gameboy filter!! I barely searched up how to get it. For those who don't know, you hold start when you launch the game. If you want the green filter, hold L + R and then Y! :)

The thing about Gen 1 and 2 is that they don't store the pokeball data. So whenever you catch any pokemon in gen 1 or 2 with any pokeball, it always converts to a regular pokeball in Pokemon Home. Gen 3 onwards is where you need to be careful with the choice of ball.

Nintendo designed this pretty well in my opinion; caught Gen 1 Pokémon being directly compatible with the USUM games which conveniently has a lot of regional Gen 1 variations. It's the first games where Gen 1 Pokémon can get their first ribbons as well.

Such a great video! It was really fun to watch this live as well, looking forward to the next dex sets 🎉

This is such an impressive collection! Gutted I wasn't able to join most of these streams but now that you've explained everything so well I'm going to try it myself. Well done bro, can't wait for gen 2!

As someone who is starting a living dex, hope to see this series continue. Thanks for giving me the idea to only use pokeballs as well. Will definitely be doing that.

This is definitely one of the most informative but actually entertaining living dex videos that I have seen. I’m working on my living dex right now and I don’t think I have the patience to do it this way but I’m amazed

Always love watching living dex completion videos interesting to see how people go about it. For example for my starters I sent them from gen 1 to gen 2 then breed them and traded them back to Kanto to get mine also easier to see gender. Also wanted them to all have the same OT

Never thought I'd watch a video about such a wild grind, but man you made this such a fun video watch! I don't know if I have it in me to do a living dex to the extent you went, but this sure does inspire me even more to go for a proper (my kind of proper, as in not caring about genders or every variants with some exceptions) living dex at least for Gen 1.

In Red and Blue you CAN catch Safari Zone (grass encounter) Pokemon with normal Pokeballs in Gen1 - using a variation of the Missingno glitch. Simply get to the Safari Zone area with the Pokemon you're wanting and let the time run out - then fly / teleport to Cinnibar and surf on the coastline. Because the Safari Zone was the last area loaded for Pokemon, you can fight Safari Zone Pokemon as if they're normal Pokemon there. Granted - this bit of information was too late for this video - but it's there for next time (and anyone else who'll find that information useful)

I love it how you go into literarily every other game that has Gen 1 form differences. Overcompletion for the win. The Raticate Super Fang method is one I haven't thought about myself, so I'm glad this was brought to my attention.

I literally started this exact style of challenge in 2021 and have completed it right up to The Teal Mask, I'm so proud of this achievement and I'm glad to see other people doing it too, best of luck with the rest of the challenge!

Very cool! This is the same challenge I am attemting but with some minor differences, I also dislike the use of glitches so I avoid using them at all cost. Excited to see the videos from the other generations!

Such a cool concept, and the fact that you’re doing is with only pokeballs is insane, good luck completing this challenge and great video 👍

Such a great video man! I cant imagine the amount of work, u put into that, especially making this video! Keep it up please

This is awesome. A few years ago I started this myself, by getting a living Dex where all Gen 1 Pokémon come from RBY, all Gen 2 come from GSC, all Gen 3 from RSE, and so on. Been fun and a little frustrating! I started off just getting 1 but decided after I was halfway to go back and do all the forms too

Living Dex challenge is always a fun challenge. I completed mine a couple years ago in 2020/21, and it was a great experience. Unfortunately I didn’t have access to a Bank membership and RBY, so I had to complete it in gen 6. The GTS was a lifesaver, and it’s super lucky that in generation 6 you can catch every Pokémon through 1 way or another.

I started this same challenge of collecting a living dex with all of the Pokémon in Pokéballs from their original games in my OT early last year, it’s great seeing someone else wanting to do the same!

That's such an insane amount of work. Thank you for all the effort you put in.

Great video! I've also completed my living dex in 2022. But I've used missigno glitch to catch all the "variants" that i needed 😂

Awesome work. I love the idea! Thank you for a fun video=)! There is already gen 2 and 3 videos, so I'll have a great time, I know it=3

Cool video, looking forward to my favourite region Johto!

I love this! Since X and Y, I've made a point of catching EVERYTHING for my Living Dex in Premier Balls, wherever possible of course. It's just so damn satisfying having everything using the same ball aesthetic, congrats on finishing this dude, definitely not a quick and easy task! Instantly subscribed 👍

Now this is a fun concept, I‘d actually love doing this as well.

i started this myself about a year and a half ago i thought it would just be cool to catch everyhting in a simple pokeball ctazy to see someone do it exactly with the same rules i set myself great video

This was super enjoyable to watch!

So I have my FULL living dex in Pokemon Home ONLY in Pokeballs with exceptions to Mythicals and some version exclusives I only got via Trade. Regardless to this day I am now replaying abunch of classics and only get in Pokeballs! I LOVE IT ALL! It just feels right! Great vid!

this is amazing content. I hope you can do all gens! keep up the good work :)

I love this series. I listen to it while I'm going for my living dex. Can't wait for gen 4!

Great stuff! I'm in the midst of working on a living dex for each gen!

This is gonna be amazing to watch keep it going

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who did this with my living dex. I did pokeball only just to have everything feel connected. I remember the hardest gens for this was Gen 3 and 4 since technically I used other balls in Gen 1 and 2

pretty awesome dude, im doing the same sort of thing just as long as they're from their original region, so which gen to me doesnt matter, not sure i could do that on top so count me impressed

very enjoyable video. look forward to the second generation

Gosh after recently hearing you can bring Mew up to current gen, it made me all nostalgic for when I got Mew from the Nintendo event on my red copy years back, which unfortunately I have no trace of where it is now having moved countries and all. Therefore, I've gone back to my 3ds and done this on a new red VC copy, and bought Silver and Crystal as well. Now watching this makes me want to do a full living dex but wow I did not realise how many gender variants there were, this is crazy! Great job.

This is essentially how my living dex is formatted. Very cool!

Now this is the kind of content I've been looking for

love the video :D its kinda loud tho and it gets exhausting after more than 30 minutes😭 ill still watch when part 2 is out tho :D

What an awesome video and grind, I'm checking every day to see if gen 2 is uploaded

Amazing Video! I recently bought Blue,Yellow and Crystal so maybe i'll do something similar to this. Seems fun :)

Oh. "Why?" was my first question. Lol thanks for getting that out of the way early-on. haha

great vid man im sure it took a lot of time but it was worth it

this was super cool. don't have the patience to do this myself though

In the VC releases, Pokémon Bank can't really tell which gen a Pokémon is from, just where it was transferred from. So you can trade a Pokémon to gen 2 to breed, then send the children back to gen 1 and use Poké Transporter, it will say it is from "The Kanto region in the good old days" and vice-versa.

Excellent video! I wasn't very eager to do that glitch mew, because the event was lvl 5 and you encounter it at lvl 7, so it doesn't match., but then I find out you can reduce his level by using growl twice against the last pokemon before mew.

I've been doing this exact same quest, catching everything in a regular pokeball, i've even decided to get all in game trade pokemon at their lowest possible level, like the level 5 machamp you can get in gen 1

Yooo I'm literally doing this same challenge except for the only pokeball rule! Good luck!

I've been working on this for months at this point, maybe even a couple of years, and I completed most of Gen 1 and 2... then my console was stolen and I had to start again, and I just can't bring myself to pick up and play Gen 1 willingly. Massive respect for being able to do this!

I'm also doing a living dex. So far, I only have Sinnoh and Hisui done with Paldea (pre-DLC) ready to go for when Home compatibility finally drops.

Hey I don't know if you still read comments for this video but you've been a huge inspiration for me starting this as well and I recently just finished my Kanto dex! Though I don't remember if it was from this video or the gen 2 video but I remember you doing some trick to get a non nicknamed Mr Mime and Jynx in Gen 1 with your OT I think? But I can't find that in the video. Either way love the series man thank you.

I think my favorite part is this is how I've played since missing my first master ball in gen 1 pokeballs only

I love the PokeSnap music in the background of the intro

Omg I’m glad I rewatched this. I totally forgot to grab a pikachu for alolan raichu

This is an amazing idea

When we’re you planning on doing gen 2? I love this series concept!

Yooooo I’m gonna try this! What a fun challenge

I'm glad to see a few comments as well as the video's creator showing I am not the only person crazy enough to insist on using pokéballs only.

this is really cool, i hate i can't do this

Dang I just finished my gen 1 shiny dex literally 3 days ago and now you’re making me want to go back and get them in pokeballs. (I’m not doing the native games part… yet)

Saw your most recent video from gen 6 and wanted to go back to the start. I did this as well a few years back! My priorities were slightly different though. The number 1 priority was it being glitchless. The second was my OT. Then comes region of origin, and finally pokeball (being base pokeball for non-shinies, and premier ball for shinies). I also only care about the variations that are visible (so the scatterbug variants for example are not something that would matter to me). I'm done...basically. I just need to encourage myself to find the time for a second playthrough of PLA lmao. I think you mentioned Mr. Mime in the video and I hope I didn't mis-remember but I think you didn't know of a way to get a Mr. Mime from Kanto with your OT, but it is possible. If you catch it in gen 2 VC in the wild and trade it back to gen 1 VC, and THEN transfer it forward it will have the tag as being from Kanto, but it will have your OT.

Pokémon Bank looks so much better than HOME. To me, at least. Well done! I hoped this would be glitches but I still enjoyed it. :)

Damn, no shout out for giving you the idea for the Brock through walls glitch lol. Very nice job!

Sorry mate, you gotta try it again. Since you were using glitches, you could've flown from the safari zone to cinnabar island and surfed the east coast to battle safari pokemon, where you could've used pokeballs haha. Jokes aside, great video, from what I've watched so far.

Catching them all in pokeballs is a nice challenge. Though when transferred up you'd see that all Pokémon are marked as being caught in pokeballs, even if you'd threw that Master Ball to Mewtwo it would still register as a pokeball once transfered to Pokémon Bank.

You can trade as soon as you obtain the Pokedex in RBY. Or if you got the timing right, there is a glitch that allow you to get all three starter

As much as I don’t mind my Living Dex/ Shiny Pokémon being in quick balls/repeat balls I will say I did make an attempt to catch the 2nd Koraidon in a pokeballs (so it matches the one you have) and was super satisfying when I was finally able to

Great video! Do you have a list or spreadsheet you can share that lists all that you need to catch, considering the later gen evolutions and gender differences?

30:16 I did not know that after breeding a whole box of Hisuian Zoroatk

I had no plans on doing this but now I def want to do this. 😬

Send Vaporeon to VC GSC and breed 9 eevees, and send them back to the Gen 1 game and transfer up from there. It'll still read that they came from Kanto and you don't have to play half the game 10 times

I need the checklist for this lol

Great video. I'm also doing a living dex my self. My goal is to have all pokemon with my OT, from the earlyest game possible without any gliches. To be able to do that, Im using pokemon go for the miticals. So I have then glichless and with my name on it.

That was super beast.

Just started this challenge a few days ago, minus variants. almost done with Gen 1

The tip about giving an everstone to a regional variant was helpfull

tysm, i didn't know about the pokemon transporter thing

I’m glad I’m not the only one with this idea. Been working on the living Dex for a few years. It’s hard because I basically have to beat every single game to trade exclusives around 😂. But it’s fun. Only thing is catching the legendaries in Gen 1 poke balls is insane

I did exactly the same with all my pkmn across gens(the pikachu from FR into alola, scyther from kanto into kleavor, etc.)

this guys living the life i wish i could

I’ve always been obsessed w only using pokeballs I’m gonna go through my Pokémon home and figure out which ones are not in Pokéballs and catching a new version in a pokeball

If you want Pokémon like Mr mime to have your OT, you could breed them from the gen 2 games, trade them to Gen 1 with the Time Machine and when transferring to bank, bank will still say they are from the kanto region. Love the content though!

Pokeballs only is a fun touch. I have been catching pokemon from there oldest games for a few years now. Always thinking when a new mons is released i think ahead and pick up a extra one in older gens whenever i get a chance to play them. It is a fun way to make a living dex unique. I am personally after shinnies from there OG games and did keeping in mind some really fast fun hunts (Gen1&2 VC Shiny Breeding, Gen9 Sandwitchs, and Cute Charm Gen4) as well as some interesting insane ones as well. I am starting an amazing hunt in Gen3 after getting all the Gen3 legends anh hoping to cap off with the Shiny Mythical leading me to your channel. Cool Challenge tho, and o look forward to watching this go per generatinon.

As for the Eevees, you can send one to a Gen 2 game where you also can see the genders, breed it there, send them back to Gen 1, and then send them to Pokebank. That way they also still register as having come from Kanto.

Nice video! Are you gonna catch the Totem Pokémons for the dex?

Impressive drive on display here! Did you consider the Cinnabar Island shore glitch to collect the safari exclusives in Pokeballs? I'm not at all criticizing your methods, just making a small observation.

This is exactly what I want to do

For the 10 eevees u could have just gotten another console with a gen 2 game on it and breed them there. Then trade them back to red and transfer them up.

Oh good for you!!!!!

This is awesome! I’m currently going to sort through my home to eventually try this (maybe without poke balls haha). Do you have a link to a site/spreadsheet that lists everything in the similar order to how you have it? Showing gender differences & forms? Cheers!

It's great to see someone else mad enough to make a living dex of every form/gender difference! I'm personally only missing the Furfrou varients and Pokeball pattern Vivillon. If you want more secondary living dexes to do, like me, I'm doing: 2 separate smaller dexes with only one out of each evolution line, one having all Hidden Abilities and the other IV Bred and in preferred balls/shiny where wanted. A full Japanese Living Dex with every possible gen 3 Pokemon in Japanese, including stuff like all the Unown Forms, newer evolutions, and having Champion Ribbons on every Pokemon from every Region possible. A set of every single in game trade I can get my hands on from every game. A Ditto from every single game I can catch them in because why not. A set of Mega Evolution Pokemon trained specifically for Mega Evolving, and another but for Gigantamaxing. All Hidden Grotto Pokemon, all Gift Pokemon, all Static Encounter Pokemon. A full set of Unown from each game you can catch them from. A Shiny Alcreamie for each sweet. A full Hisuian Alpha dex. All of Ns Pokemon and other similar special Pokemon, like every single Dream Radar Pokemon and gifts like the Demo Glalie. Every single mark, on any Pokemon, but from each game they're available in- All the marks of Galar being seperate from the Paldean marks. I have others too but not ones most people would do, like a box of Contest Teams.

When I was a kid I would only catch Pokémon in poke balls because it bothered me when my full team of six didn’t match balls

You could have flown to Cinnibar and used the coat line to catch them with pokeballs. Though that would be silly and also glitching technically.

An interesting thing to keep in mind. If you trade a pokemon from Gen2 to Gen1, then transfer it to Bank, it will be trated as if it were caught in Kanto. I tested it out and it worked. This is useful for those Gen1 trade pokemon which cannot be obtained with your OT, like Mr. Mime. You get it in Gen1, send it over to Gen2, breed down one with your OT, then send it back to Gen1 before transferring it to Bank.

It's actually possible to get both Jynx and Mr.Mime with your own OT in HOME where it is registered as originating from Kanto. If you catch them both in gen 2 in GSC and trade it to RBY and then use poke transport, it will register as originating from Kanto even though it technically came from Johto.

You can leave the safari zone, fly to Cinnibar, and surf on the coast to encounter the Safari Zone pokémon in normal battles

There's a work around to catching the Safari pokemon in pokeballs, it includes the Cinnabar strip.
