Sort of. Finally, after having the game for almost one and a half years, I finished the Pokédex in my Black Version. (Except Genesect for obvious reasons.)

It had been in a bad limbo with about 500 caught Pokémon for quite a while when I picked it back up a few weeks prior. Most of the work was just continuous grinding in the sports domes at Nimbasa City, of course, but it also involved transferring quite a large batch of legendaries from older generations. As I don't have two DS series consoles myself, I utilized Pokécheck for this and transferred them from my Gen IV games to Black.

Another phase was to get the trade evolutions complete. With this, ghaskan and Blazaking EX helped me. And the last hurdle was to collect the remaining evolutionary stones; I tried to get help with them here, but only managed to obtain the Moon Stones I was missing; thus, I spent about ten hours today in the entrance of Twist Mountain hunting for dust clouds. About 200 Super Repels later, I finally found the last Dawn Stone I needed.

Really looking forward to a proper Genesect release so I can formally finalize this dex, but for now, it is as complete as it can be. :)

Also, holy cow at no blog posts in the last three months.

E: Added a bit I forgot to write in.
