Hello all,

I've been a member since 2009. I have a living dex (or almost one at least). And that is how I play. However, there have been a slew of new pokemon added, and now we are coming upon gen 9. There is not enough PC space for all these Pokemon, plus the novelties. I refuse to release any more, but this website is now unusable toa veteran like me. I don't play in events, shiny hunts, or anything due to limited space. I used all my coins to buy more PC space and I have maxed out. Please please please, give us like 10 free boxes because I literally can't enjoy this game anymore. If this is an impossible request, I will delete this from my bookmark tabs as there is no point in checking back here.

There are 75 possible PC boxes on GPX+. At 24 pokemon per box, that's 1,800 storage spaces.

Even if you include EVERY SINGLE pokemon dex entry, all alternate forms (regional, gender differences, gmax and mega evos, unown letters, etc), there are only 1,568 potential pokemon to collect, and that's already the maximum number currently. Not all of those pokemon are on GPX yet (especially later generations where we get maybe one evo line per month at the fastest), and not everyone (in fact I'd wager even most people with living dex ambitions) are going to be so picky as to want every gender difference as well as genuine form differences.

There are enough spaces for a full living dex with like ten boxes to spare, and even on high multiplier days, most users won't go through ten full boxes in a single twelve hour period. The only way to not have enough space is if you're trying to have TWO living dexes (both shiny and nonshiny), however that would require almost doubling the existing space which feels unnecessary and unreasonable.

Genuinely, I think for now, storage space is in an okay position. If you're running out of room, buy more boxes, or stop trying to make two living dexes at once.

Strongly agree! I'm a new player who just joined this month. I would love to build a living dex, but I'm already out of space despite my account barely being a couple weeks old. If PC Boxes could just expand to 30 Pokemon per Box, that would be incredibly helpful to pretty much any player!

It sounds like you haven't started buying Extra PC Boxes, Extra PC Boxes Plus, and Extra PC Boxes Ultra, which are available in the various tabs of the shop depending on the 12-hour shop rotation, and give you another 50 boxes on top of the base amount. That should be plenty for a living dex.

Even if you include EVERY SINGLE pokemon dex entry, all alternate forms (regional, gender differences, gmax and mega evos, unown letters, etc), there are only 1,568 potential pokemon to collect, and that's already the maximum number currently.

You're forgetting to account for GPX's Novelty Pokemon, which adds another 200+ to the total. Still narrowly enough to fit a living dex through Paldea inside our current boxes, but if-when Paldea is someday eventually fully implemented on GPX+, by then there won't be any spare boxes for shiny hunting any more.

I do agree with you that there are already plenty of ways for people to whittle their collections down to fit in the currently available space, like not collecting gender differences, or incorporating shinies into their regular living dex instead of having a full nonshiny living dex plus their collection of shinies.

But on the other hand, GPX+ has been short on programmers for ages and ages now, and if we don't get the request for more PC boxes into the request queue now, then someday in the 2030s when we get enough Pokemon implemented to fill our current box space, asking for more will be piled behind so many more programming requests and it'll be too late. Better to get the ball rolling now. At least, that's my view on it.
