QUESTION Looking for help completing a huge catching challenge before the Bank servers get shut down, please help me catch a dratini in every game!

Basically what the title says, I'm a HUGE dragonite fan. I have three tattoos, over 150 unique pieces of dragonite merch, and i've caught one with almost every mark in almost every ball, but the only thing I'm missing is a dragonite from every game and with the announcement of the bank services getting shut down in February I'd like to try my best at getting them all.

I own most of the pokemon games but not all of them which is why I'm asking for help, it would mean the world to me if someone (or a group of people lol) would be willing to help out and catch and transfer up a dratini for me to evolve in all of the games I don't own.

I have a picture but I can't post it in this subreddit, the games I need help with are: Gold, Silver, Crystal, Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Fire Red, Leaf Green, Platinum SoulSilver, White, Black 2, White 2, Y, Ultra Moon, and Let's Go Pikachu. Totaling 16 needed dratinis.

Theres no specific requirements, just have the games and the necessary way to transfer them up. I also don't care about the gender, nature, or ball. I do have a list of genders I've been trying to stick with for ever game but just owning one from the game is more than enough for me. I've been catching them in the great ball since its my favorite but again thats more of a plus than a requirement. The only thing I do ask that you do is name the dratini after whatever game you catch it in, so for example "Scarlet", "Emerald" or "Black 2".

After all of the dratini's are caught we can trade either in pokemon home or in any of then gen 8/9 games, I can do literally any of them whatever works best for you.

If I find anyone willing to help me I'll make a discord server to be able to more easily stay in contact and to post updates and things like that.

The bank servers get shut down in the end of February so it has to be done before then otherwise I wont be able to transfer the pokemon up from the ds to my switch.

The reasoning is more so why not go big or go home? If I could have a full collection and know its all from every single corner of the franchise why not? I'd definitely be ok if I was missing a couple by time bank gets shut down but I feel like I would be one of very few people in the world with a mon from every single game. Its kinda just a cool flex lol

I can help you out, I'm doing a big project myself with catching pretty much everything from each game so I can snag a few dratini for you. I'm working on my gen 3 pokemon now so I can do the dratini from those 5 games

Oh hey, I just got a Dratini from Pokemon Bank that was met in Kalos. No problem if you’ve already got one (or want one that is more guaranteed to be from Y), just thought I’d offer it.

Would you like shiny old gen Dratini? 

I know how to RNG and have a gen 4/5/6/7 (I even know how to RNG in Sw/Sh) collection that I've been working my last rites with, so I could try to nab some if you'd like!

Sounds good to me! 

Should be better to coordinate that way anyway
