Do you trade-forward, or catch 'em all in each gen?

[WraithTDK]

I'm interested in hearing people's thoughts. When you start a new generation of Pokemon, do you trade all your Pokemon from previous generations and just catch the new ones? Or do you catch everything all over again, trading up only Pokemon not naturally available in the new generation?

I'm more likely to catch before bringing forward.

I'll usually catch some I already have if they show up during the main story and I want to use them. However, I tend not to be too thorough, as I know I'll be bringing everything over once I can.

I catch them all in the new games.

In the past I used to keep my pokemon on each game they were originated from, now I'm keeping all my Pokemon in HOME, mainly divided by origin generation.

i usualy catch most of them in the game, and just trade specials / event ones, or the ones i am missing because the game exclusivity.
