>>46160508>So do you just have two of everythingOnly the ones that have the differences, though I thought about doing the "one of each" thing just to bloat this list even more.
https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_with_gender_differences>curious to hear how long this all took youSo, I have been playing these games since gen 1, and as such a lot of these pokemon come from gen 3 onwards; so you could say this has taken me many many years but the concentrated effort itself took me around 2-3ish years to gather and organize the full dex. Do note while doing this I also: had a full time job, was an MMO addict, and was helping raise my step sister; so if I were more free with my time it would have taken less.
>how you know the events are legit, unless you just got them all yourselfYep, I've kept up with the series basically the entire time, only break I took was early gen 3 because I was "too old" for pokemon then, kinda ironic that I'm in my late 20s now still doing this.
