I had fun doing this a while back, wish I took a more organized approach in the beginning like you did! Quickly realized I had no idea which pokemon were gen 4 and which were gen 5. Three 500 card binders has me covered - near perfectly fits gens 1-4 in first, 5-8 in second (including sections for Alolan, Hisuian, and Gigantamax), and a new one for Paldea. Cheap trainer gallery cards are a blessing for this.
Really looking forward to filling out 3 binders!! But gen 5 and 7 will give me some trouble since I skipped out on those games. Thanks for watching.
I got back into collecting in July and found Paldea Evolved very fun to collect and complete as I played Scarlet.
But with all the following sets coming out, I was spending lots and lots of money thinking I “had to” collect and complete those sets as well. I don’t.
But I do like having tangible cards and something beautiful in my hand, so I asked myself: What’s something I really enjoyed with Pokémon in general? The answer was simple; playing, collecting, and completing the Pokédex in the games. So after a little more thought, I decided to complete Paldea Evolved and 151, but I would focus on creating a Pokédex of my favorite regions/generations. So I set out to create a Pokédex for Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Hisui, and Paldea in three binders total. These were the games I had most fun playing those games as a kid and now as an adult.
I went one step further than keeping the regular "basic" Pokemon cards. I absolutely adore the illustration cards and decided to upgrade every card that had an illustration card (or a V, VMAX, GX, etc) I liked. It really changed the way I collect now, and I'm getting so much more enjoyment from slowly collecting the singles than I would from feeling like I had to collect everything in a newly released set.
Great to hear! I had exactly the same thought process. Personally I enjoy playing the video games more than collecting cards so I too felt master sets were not my cup of tea but I always found joy in completing the in-game pokedex. Now we're on the same journey but with pokemon cards.
I have two that I’m currently working on. 1 just like yours but a little different and the 2nd one is all reverse hollow
I myself am about 400 cards in and started part way through last year. Slow proccess but its gotten me actually into the card game itself as well which is great!
Same here, after collecting for a while I too got back into the actual card game for a short period. Which helps me appreciate pokemon cards outside of just their artwork.
earned a subscirber! excited to follow this series
🙌 Thanks for the sub!
Awesome video. I've been working on a living dex for the cards recently. I'm currently halfway there.
Nice. Lets get it done!
Yo great idea! Ima start one tmrw
What binder r u using for this project

Simple side loader with a strap. Hopefully the link works. I plan to use 3 separate binders. Good luck with the project!
This is how I’ve always organized my cards when I was younger! But I kind of want to go back and reorganize my collection. Does anyone have advice on sorting by national dex number, while also displaying multiple different cards of a pokemon? But I feel like it’s quite troublesome when you have like 12 pikachus, all from different sets. I guess I’m thinking sorting by dex number and by a pokemon species in set order while leaving some space for future cards? Or does that sound unreasonable/not pretty? Or is there an easier way to do this? It just feels like such a waste to only display 1 card for a pokemon when there’s so many good arts.
I know that struggle you are asking about. Your idea of leaving some empty space for future cards isn't a bad idea. But personally for me I just decided to keep those extra cards in another binder since I am collecting other cards that don't fit in the national dex theme binder.
I have two of these, one like you and one with Japanese Ars
Very nice. I recently just started collecting Japanese cards and might incorporate them into the binder as I continue along.
@@PokemonEliteTrainer I also forgot I have a whole binder thing going on with a page for every Pokemon (like really extensive Pokédex). I think most regular cards just don't get enough love. I'm in Japan at least once a year and you can't some good deals there and also bulk is much cheaper. I have yet to find a way to share my collection with the world because as much as I enjoy it, I also kinda like to show it off and its hard to connect on that (I don't want nor can I take these binders to any card show and stuff like that)
This national deck binder has definitely made me appreciate regular cards more since I’m always looking to rotate cards out if a better art work comes out. But share it on CZcams? It’s hard to carry around multiple binders.
@@PokemonEliteTrainer thought about that, but don't feel to confident in my English and I don't have an overhead setup sadly. Maybe. I should invest
It'll be a good investment, I had to get one to really push me to make content now that I have it. lol
I’ve been trying to do this for a while, so u use 1 binder or do u use 3
I plan to use 3 binders. Binder one will have 3 regions, binder two will have 5 regions and third album will be paldea + future games
