Why would any normal person be willing to complete the entire pokedex? Just catch the pokemon you need for competitive and be on your way. It's no different than skipping filler from an anime.
the shiny charm and bragging rights. that's it

Seriously. I did it way back in Blue then realized it was pointless when all they gave me was a diploma.

>he hasn't caught all 801 available pokemon
>>31341954
Same reason I complete any game fully.
Feels good to see that 100%.
Also there is the tangible reward of the shiny charm, and most people who only play for competitive will just inject or edit Pokemon for perfect online use, since they feel less of a need to engage in what I've seen described as "timewasters" like breeding.

Only casuals skip filler

I did it in B2 and Moon, for the Shiny Haxorus reward and the shiny charm respectively.

only normies give a shit about smogon, anon.

it would be neat to have some super elusive mon only obtainable in a event triggered by completing the pokedex

>injectors proceed to just inject a full dex
Reminder that injecting to fill a Pokedex is just pathetic.

You don't get a prize for not skipping anime filler.
So Pepe is now an advocate for normalcy and not playing video games?
Fucking stupid.
You must be some kind of retarded tourneyfag if you think that battling other players is the only way to play Pokémon or the only feature that matters.

>what is shiny charm
>>31342042
This. Also, the same reason people collect other things? Because it's intrinsically fun for them.
There's also the sort of "journey not the destination" bonus of winding up with direct access to every evolutionary line in the game.

Hardcore pleb.
