>>23223684I'm an immense autist. Lost my cart with all my mons before black came out so I had to rebuild, but I didn't feel like doing it immediately.
Once X&Y came around, (shiny charm cause I'm a breedfag) I was pretty set on doing a legit living dex, and boy lemme tell you I was pissed when I found out you can in:^)ject one and I already updated my shit.
>>23223723 This guy called it pretty hard. Walls get hit. I was passively wondertrading basically all day for weeks. Got plenty of base stage mons, evolved them, caught what I could.
Actually got a fair amount of them as breedject from other breeders in breed threads and wfg
I have a couple irl friends that play so getting item/trade evolution was actually pretty easy for me
I asked a couple of genners, (back in the days of about 16 months ago when we had plenty of genners around and /vp/ wasn't absolute cocks about the whole thing) for the event mons, I think manaphug and music waifu were the hardest to get my hands on.
I started this, mind you, about a month after XY came out, and I finished it about 2 months after ORAS came out.
TLDR
it's difficult and rather time consuming, but hey, shiny charm
