How To Make A National Pokedex Binder 

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.

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.

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

earned a subscirber! excited to follow this series

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!

Awesome video. I've been working on a living dex for the cards recently. I'm currently halfway there.

Yo great idea! Ima start one tmrw

I have two of these, one like you and one with Japanese Ars

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’ve been trying to do this for a while, so u use 1 binder or do u use 3
