Has anyone bothered collecting the 'Box' pokemon?

Bad Skitty

Caught em' all
I was wondering wether anyone has bothered collecting the pokemon ruby/sapphire 'box' (for gamecube) pokemon. have only got the false swipe swablu and the extremspeed zigzagoon so far.

the swablu with its false swipe and sing is probably my best pokemon for catching others so far. anyone else have thoughts, good or bad?

not really an issue seeing as it was given to me. find it very very useful when resetting' a cartridge . just load all the items onto the pokemon and put them on the box. would love the surfing pikachu. unfortunatly you can only put pokemon on from a single cartridge to get it. I am using it for about 5.

I have a Surfing, Modest, Raichu thanks to box. I traded all the other as i didlnt think they were as usfull. A fasle swipping Altaria has nothing on a False Sporing Breloom IMO but the box eggs are good for trades.

I got the surfing Pichu a while ago, thanks to my Sneasels. However i'm not bothered about the others.

As far as I know, the game is no longer available which sucks, since I live in traveling distance from Nintendo World. Extremespeed Linoone and Surfing Pikachu would be good though. I have a question, when you trade, is it one pokemon at a time or all of them at once? If its the latter, the game must be extremely useful.

unfortunatly you have to move one at a time. but I think it holds 2500 pokemon. you can get it pretty cheap on ebay. I got mine for $15 new.

1,407 on Pokemon Box + 116 on Pokemon Emerald = 1,523. *beams*

I really should count those on Leaf Green and Silver...

That is not true! You can move an entire box at a time!

For me, yes I have archived them all.. and mutiple Swablus and Zigzagoons.. The game is very handy!

I just looked for Pokemon Box on eBay since you can't get it at Pokemoncenter.com anymore and it is listed for an astronomical $250. I bought mine last year some time, and sadly I've only gotten the swablu and zigzagoon. The surfing pichu would be adorable if I had enough patience to breed a bazillion of something.

Yes, surfing pichu is cool. However, you cant breed surf onto any other Pichu's/Pikachu's since it isnt an EGG move of theirs :( Hence why Pokemon Box pichu egg is rare :p

I have them all up to surfing pichu though I find the false-swipe swablu most useful as I was able to hatch it in one of my restart ruby games and shortly used it to help capture a shiny zigzagoon.

I don't got it, I don't need it.
I can trade between all five 3rd generation GBA games, I don't need box to transfer pokemon.

If I had box though, I wouldn't bother getting the box pokemon, I think it would take too long. Don't you have to store like 1,200 or 1,500 pokemon just to get a surfing Pichu or something? There's no way I'm going to be bothered to do all that.

your right. I didnt know how to highlight and move more than one.

Finally got a surfing pichu by transferring from all 5 cartridges then saving back to a single cartridge and re-uploading them all. WOOT! got all my friends one two by using the trick on several cartridges.

this is a lifesaver when needing to re-start a cartridge, you can save all your pokemon without having to worry.

the first pokemon, false swipe swablu had awsome stats and is now one of my main pokemon. it is great when catching pokemon of any level. wont kill a LV 2 or ever accidently KO a shiny.
