Good lord that’s too many poke balls. I wish the gotcha could use great/ultra balls. I keep 100 ultras at any time since I’m not manually catching often (only on weekends) but I never have enough poke balls to keep the gotcha going all the time.

Yeah I should shave 200 off each set, I think I've kept that amount for a couple years now in anticipation of the new generations coming out but it's not like it's tough to get balls these days.

This is how the Sinnoh stone first started but now you can get them through other means. Sounds like it's just the initial way of getting stones so they can stagger evolutions.

I willed too hard again...

My inventory max is 400. I've got potions, hyper potions, revives, lucky eggs, camera, fast TM, rare candy, raid pass, ex raid pass, gift, balls, berries, 2 incubators, king's rock, metal coat, up-grade.

Time to invest in battling gyms to earn coins. Get yourself a good Machamp.

When I have to clear room for item inventory, this is how I manage them (I'm at 2000):
  • Pokeball: I don't have a Gotcha so I throw normal balls out the most often because it's the most common item. I'll keep as many Ultra balls as I can unless I really need room and Great balls to under 100.
  • Berries: Razz and nanab I keep at under 15. Pinab I treat like Ultra balls, will store more when a community day approaches. Golden and silver pinab I keep all.
  • Gen 2 evo items: Less than 10 of each. Honestly I should only keep like less than 5. They're garbage.
  • Potions: I use up all normal and super potions right away. If I need to clear room and have any left over, they get trashed immediately. I'll keep around 100 hyper potion, and also realize I carry too many max potions that typically don't get used unless I'm reviving any Blissey so I'm learning to trim my collection of max potions to 50-100.
  • Revives: I've been learning to trim normal revives to under 75 and stockpiling max revives more when there are those special 3-hour days for raiding a specific boss when I'm riding a raid train.
  • Rare candy: I typically keep 300 in case something really good comes into rotation and I need to power up a couple legendaries as counters. I'll start finding things to use it on if it creeps toward 400.
All of this comes out to giving me around 100-150 empty space as a healthy buffer for a day or two of spinning without worry.

The only consolation for the Unova stones is that there are only four pokemon that need it:
Pansage, Pansear, Panpour, Munna, Minccino, Eelektrik and Lampent


to the items goon:
i just did one item bag upgrade, and then I dump all potions and revives except for Max Potion and Max Revive, only keep Pinap, Razz, Golden Razz and Silver Razz berries (and dump the regular razz if you end up stockpiling a lot of golden ones), and only keep a couple of each evolution item. Like, if you already got Slowking and Politoad, then there's no reason to keep many king's rock, like one or two just in case some wacky research asks for it.

I got a shiney Flower Eevee from the breakthrough last week so I'm pretty happy with it. Three star stats and all.

I gotta say, I actually like the choice of panpour/pansear/pansage as the regional. gently caress 'em.

Edit: the 5 is the level of the Pokemon, and the pokegenie is sure about the 15s.

Beaten by Rotinaj, but yeah 15 are the A/D/S and 5 is the level. I chose the different colors to distinguish between stat/level. Calcy's renaming tag is fantastic with a few tweaks. I have it set to also show type symbols for fast/charge attacks on fully evolved 'mons.
