[X] My Assistant

[FrightyDog]

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.

In the Pokemon games, the PC Boxes hold 30 Pokemon. If they expanded each Box to that size, that would give us 456 more slots for Pokemon

Don’t even need free PC boxes, I’d happily spend coins on them, not much else to spend them on here haha
But a hard agree, we really do need more space!

We either need more space or have the release waiting period reduced. But it might affect the servers slightly, I don't know the technical stuff.

Agreed! I recently returned to the site and while I don't have max PC boxes yet, I'm already in a position where it's tough thinking ahead about whether I'll actually get to play on here the way I want due to the storage limit. I haven't been as interested in the new official Pokémon games because I enjoy the collection aspect so much and it's a huge bummer to me that I can't actually "catch 'em all;" returning to GPX has been awesome because I can satisfy that desire to house a full collection of my little pocket monster friends, and can realistically hunt for and build a collection of shiny Pokémon too! But with all the novelties and new Pokémon being added, there's still just not enough storage to have that dream realized. I'm struggling to decide - do I disregard non-canon Pokémon? Would that even free up enough space if I did? Should give up on having a living dex of regular Pokémon and just be satisfied with completing their entries in the Pokédex, and have only a living dex of shiny Pokémon? But I also enjoy collecting regular Pokémon as I'm shiny hunting, and hold onto ones with high IVs/beneficial natures - do I have to let go of great Pokémon and only keep the best of the best for battles? Maybe for regular Pokémon, I only keep the highest stage in the evolutionary line, rather than a full living dex... would that give me enough space?

I haven't come up with a decisive answer yet, but I'm going to have to seriously consider it soon. I've been surprised at how quickly my collection has already grown now that I'm active again, and also by how many boxes I need to dedicate to participating in site events and shiny hunts. But even if there was no wait time for releasing, there still wouldn't be enough storage space for a living dex + living shiny dex. And realistically, yeah, a collection to the extent I want would take a while to complete and I might never actually make enough progress on it for the lack of storage space to matter, but I'd at least like it to be viable and not straight up impossible due to that limitation.

I think expanding the current box sizes to the 30-Pokémon capacity of the actual games would be a great way to increase the current storage limit, though it would probably have to be provided as free storage. If GPX didn't want to give us more free storage for some reason, I would also just be happy if they increased the number of Extra PC Box Ultras available to users and pay full price as I need them. I've seen so many people ask for more PC storage because building a living dex is such a common way of playing on the site. Especially with all the new Pokémon being added, it just makes sense that more storage is added too.
