PC Box Organisation

[The REAL Joey]

Something i've been wondering. Just how do you guys organise your PC Boxes to store Pokemon in? I've seen a lot of people just leave it how it is and let the Pokemon pile up and I know some have them organised into specific teams along with hatched Pokemon but the way I organise it is via typing. For example, I have on box dedicated to grass, one dedicated to fire and so on and so on. I know some Pokemon have dual typings but most of the time one box will fill up so something like Volcarona will end up in the Fire typing box.

Seeing as there are more boxes available than there are types i've also got some which are filled with pre-evolutions of Pokemon that can't fit in anywhere else and a couple of boxes dedicated to event Pokemon i've obtained and my own teams that I use frequently. A HM slave or two for easy access as well not to mention. ;D

Hahahahaha. Boxes, what are they? Whatever goes in my boxes literally just stay in the same spot, unless I take them out to use them of course. The only sort of organising I do is the 12 odd pokes what I'll occassionally switch into my team having their own box but then everything else is just a mushy mess. If I had the time and patience I would probably box each one by their type though and pick pretty backgrounds to match them. :3

That's a good point about box backgrounds. There's quite a few to choose from but picking some out for use of a certain type isn't always a perfect science. Poison doesn't really have anything stands out so I normally just pick the Craggy wallpaper which sort of fits with the whole colour theme.

I must admit, it does take fair few minutes sorting out all the boxes (I normally do when I just start a game) but I can see it taking far longer sorting everything out if you've already got Pokemon in there.

I think I ended up using that option simply because I was getting fed up with "Hm, I wonder where that Pokemon is...?" and at least with the boxes being organised as typings I have only one or two places to look in. And when you consider there's 649 odd Pokemon now it's getting ever bigger. @_@
