Last year I finally started to pull a Living Dex together on HOME and it seemed like an insurmountable task at first but it's starting to piece together. My initial goal for the end of 2023 was to have Generations I-V completed, but it's already coming along so well that I've added Gen VI onto that goal and will still be able to make some serious progress on VII-VIII. I actually don't need too many more from the first six generations. Most of them are ones that take some actual effort to obtain but there are still a few "dude just go catch it" randos.

Gen I (1):
Rapidash

Gen II (1):
Togetic

Gen III (7):
Sceptile
Swampert
Vigoroth
Vibrava
Mioltic
Wynaut
Salamence

Gen IV (5):
Wormadam
Cherrim
Purugly
Happiny
Gabite

Gen V (25):
Cottonee
Krookodile
Scrafty
Cofagrigus
Carracosta
Archen
Zorua
Duosion
Reuniclus
Vanillish
Vanilluxe
Galvantula
Ferrothorn
Klink
Klang
Klinklang
Tynamo
Eelektrik
Eelektross
Elgyem
Cryogonal
Mienshao
Golurk
Mandibuzz
Reshiram

Gen VI (17):
Delphox
Flabebe
Gogoat
Meowstic
Aegislash
Aromatisse
Slurpuff
Clauncher
Clawitzer
Tyrantrum
Amarua
Aurorus
Goomy
Goodra
Gourgeist
Xerneas
Hoopa

I'm not even gonna bother listing VII-IX because it's most of them. So 56 left from the first six is pretty good for where I was even just a few months ago.

It's a real grind, though breeding is pretty easy in SV

I used XY for it because so much was available

I have living dex through Gen 6. Currently trying to get to the end of Gen 7 but it was so bad that I never came close to there. Don't even know where I am, and I don't care. Just gotta get my 'dex alive.

What I did to get all was utilize the ORAS Resort area and just kept dumping things off to my Ditto, then went and evolved the ones I needed to in a Blisseybase. Was pretty efficient; Gen 7 is going much more slowly. How are you doing it?

What kind of living dex are you doing? The only officially recognized dex is completing the pokedex itself. I know some people do living dex differently. Some want them all lvl 99. Some want one lvl 99 and one untouched (lvl 1 if possible). Some want all shiny, or all regular and all shiny. Some need all versions of the Pokemon (Unown, Alcreamie, Spinda, etc).

I never got the desire for it, because who is going to want to randomly use a Gloom. Always seemed like the dex entries do the job, but to each their own. If I ever did it, I'd aim for all shinies.

A "living dex" is just one of each Pokmon, including each form of an evolutionary line, so you can import them into a new game and finish the Pokedex without any headaches.

I'm trying to get all Alola forms in Gen 7 as separate from the originals, but that's the only thing. I already have all Vivillion and Unown forms, but... Spinda? Isn't finding them all impossible?

For now I'm just trying to get all 1008+ Pokemon. Once that's done I'll go for regional variants, then alternate forms, gender variants, etc. But for now I'm satisfied with one of each.

X/Y is when I got the base of mine together and I've been able to keep it updated pretty easily since then. Still need to finish Legends for the Hisuian additions, and of course my SV set is sitting in-game waiting for Home compatibility (aside from Koraidon, which I borrowed for the in-game diploma but don't have one of my own). I'd also like to go back to SwSh at some point and collect the various G-Max forms I never got during that gen, since the Home 'dex does keep track of them, but it's not exactly a priority.

Oh yes, Y has been a Godsend in this endeavor, to the point where I'm also trying to complete the National Dex in that game while I'm at it (which will take a little extra since there are a few Pokemon that I got from Virtual Console games or Legends: Arceus that I'll have to go back and find a way to get onto my Dex in Y).

Genuinely when I did this in ORAS I felt like a living god

I'm gonna need Sword or Shield to get any of the Gen 8 additions. After Gen 5, I only own X, Alpha Sapphire, Moon, and Shining Pearl. So yeah I'm gonna have problems later.

I also don't have the money built up in my account just yet, and since GameStop can't just give you a free $5 every month now if you have a Pro subscription ($10 minimum purchase rule now; I likely won't renew), IDK what to do considering how broke I am. I have $40 built up after paying for HOME. That was my "gaming money" lol

I think I'll just need a Koraidon to finish mine off

Caught a low-level Salamence in Sun in an S.O.S. battle with a Bagon on Route 3. THAT was an ordeal to get, between having a 1% encounter rate, accidentally knocking out the first two I found, then waiting for Salamence to show up.
