yeah so bad news, Pokemon mainline games have never had any sort of auto-sort. Only way to organize boxes is to do it manually.

But there is a mult-select option! That makes it easier. I like to sort by type into boxes with appropriate wallpapers. I miss some of the fun wallpapers from previous gens.

I do exactly this too. Then I have 'legendary', 'egg' where the Dittos and a Flame Body pokemon go, 'masuda' for foreign-language pokemon I might want to shiny breed. These days I'll have 'forms' where I stick Pokemon that have multiple forms that are otherwise going to clutter up their type box, like the deerlings. I have 'team' and 'trade'. In my Violet save I've accumulated enough special children to warrant 'fake shiny' and 'real shiny'.

I tend to sort by type + color. Grass type in one box with a green background, water types with a blue background etc. Makes it easier to know what you're looking for faster. I also keep my breeding dittos separate in their own little box so when it's time for breeding I can thumb through them and select the specific ditto I need.

What you gotta know is, the dev team will spend months coding 151 different curry flavors into a completely optional minigame in SW/SH, but nobody wants to clean up one of the core functions of the game, because that's boring and dumb.

yeah it's a really simple function they choose not to implement. it's just them being mean at this point. you can't even sort boxes like this in Home (although you can "view" your collection as a whole in different, filterable ways which makes it less of a chore)

You should see how badly organized my Pokemon Bank was, which screwed over my Home boxes. gently caress organizing all that. I tried for 2 hours and barely got anything done.

For real, I moved over my DS era collection in two goes (everyone in bank, then remembered everyone still in my Sumo/ORAS/vc/XY saves) and I have a bunch of redundantly named completely unorganized boxes. I went through and managed to get legendaries, mythicals, and shinies sorted out after a few hours. but I quit trying after that.

earlier when I went hunting for Dog and Frog, my favorite individual mons, it took like 10 minutes to find out you can't search by "has_nickname" cause I wanted to find all my friends. scattered to the winds of Home.

Oh, I have some foreign language boxes and a team box too. Haven’t needed a ditto box yet since I haven’t done much breeding.

Within the boxes themselves, I tend to sort by gen.

Once I get my mons from previous gens, I’ll have rows for any trained Pokémon, rows for story team buddies, a row for shinies and then everyone else.

I’m one of those people who really likes organizing things, so I enjoy spending lots of time fiddling with my boxes.

I'm just a normie who sorts everything by regional dex order. Makes it easier for me personally to find stuff and keeps it compact.

Leftover boxes are used to hold excess mons in whatever order I need them to be in and to hold shinies (which are in nat dex order).

Ignore my posts!
I'm aggressively wrong about everything!
The one thing I wish they'd add to the storage system is an inbox. I'd be fine with everything else being manual if they could automatically just put all the newly caught Pokemon in the one box in the first place instead of just going to whichever I had open last.

Pokémon Box organization:

- Living Dex (National Order)
- Various Forms (Vivillion, Minior, Unown, everything except Alcremie, gently caress that)
- Best Pals
- Legendaries
- Shinies
- Jank poo poo I Got Trading

The usefulness of water absorb Clodsire in the story playthrough cannot be overstated though.

It feels like cheating

Someone already did the crossed out joke, but even if it's not the choice for competitive Poison Point Clodsire ended up being the only reason I beat Nemona... twice (and also came in pretty handy for taking down Turo's Iron Valiant, too)

e: oh right, a bit late on this but I did this the other day



Tried to edit it down to being dupeless but then it turned out I'd still left Staraptor in there twice and I went "screw it, call it Larry appreciation".

Also honourable mentions to Maractus and Dudunsparce who should be on here but can't be because there's only room for one Gen 5 mono-grass type and one Gen 9 mono-normal type.

Also a weird thing about this chart is that Lillipup is not a Favourite Regional Mammal option and Grubbin is not a Favourite Regional Bug option...

A silly little mouse!
I have all my campaign teams sorted by chronological region (thank god rows are six Pokémon long). Followed by the “B-Team” of mons who got used for a hot minute before being replaced. Followed by my hm slave retirement home. Followed by my legendary/mythicals/UBs.

I used to keep some boxes of “hard to get” stuff like starters, fossils, porygons, and inconvenient evos, but The last few gens have made getting stuff so much easier and cut down on weird Sinnoh style availability that I don’t feel a need for it any more.

PLA can do that. Drop the pokemon into the box from the "all boxes" view. Doesn't work for the box the mons originally came from.

I get more of a 'what the gently caress did you just say to me?' vibe from Turtonator, which is also excellent. Blastoise sometimes is doing the sideeye over its shoulder too.
