I know, got 5 days of work left before the game, and work makes time go by fast so that's also good, and if work wants to make time slow down, that's also good, because then I have extra time to complete my tasks.
As for the Completing the Alola Dex, I probably won't do that until January when Bank is released to fill in the Non-Alola Pokemon, but I'll make sure to be catching all the New Pokemon, including Formes. Then working on breeding the new Shiny Ground-types Competitively. That'll only be Alolan Dugtrio, Mudsdale, and Palossand. I'll want a Shiny Silvally as well since it can also be Ground-type when holding the Ground Memory, as well as waiting for a Shiny Zygarde Event to be released. At the moment, Zygarde is my only Non-Shiny Ground-type. Even have a Shiny Arceus from the Japanese Event.
Also, of course not as the only way to receive a National Pokedex is through Pokemon Bank it seems. I hope it's not forcing people to buy it to receive one, maybe just have them download it in the least.
