Dedicated Pokemon Fans Complete Living Master Dex, Dress Up for the Occasion

Two Pokemon fans have achieved the monumental feat of completing what’s known as a Living Master Dex. In layman’s terms, that means that not only have they caught every single Pokemon, they now have them all nestled away in one location. These guys have taken the series’ motto “Gotta catch ‘em all” to its logical conclusion, and with an accomplishment like that, it’s understandable that they celebrated it in style.

Completing a Pokedex has always been a challenge that demands plenty of time and dedication, even back when there were only 150 Pokemon to catch. These days, after eight generations of Pokemon games, that number stands at a whopping 905, so it goes without saying that trying to “catch ‘em all” requires a far greater effort than ever before. That’s what makes Reddit user SpacebornKiller and his friend’s achievement so impressive.

Sharing news of their accomplishment on the Pokemon subreddit, as well as a photo of the two friends in fancy suits, SpacebornKiller explained that they began filling out their Living Dex back in 2018, with the objective of obtaining every Pokemon in the game that it’s first catchable in. They started by completing the Pokedexes for the first two generations of games, but the problem there is that those games don’t allow for transferring Pokemon to later titles, which the team needed to do to get their collection in one place and complete the “living dex” part of the Living Master Dex.

This forced the two friends to collect those Pokemon all over again in Pokemon LeafGreen/FireRed and Ruby/Sapphire/Crystal, along with spinoff titles Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness, according to SpacebornKiller. From there, they moved their collection to the next mainline
