Pokémon for me has never been about catching them all.
I always caught a select handful and nurtured the hell out of them. Then, slowly but surely, I would catch more and watch them grow up as well, but I never went out of my way to catch 'em all, not even after the Elite Four.
I'm simply dying to play X or Y, but monies seem to be an issue . Still, I have plenty to go through before I get this.
