General Pokemon Discussion

[GrooveMan.exe]

Although I understand the mechanics, I don't play the metagame. It's just that EVs are entirely non-optional. By defeating pokemon and gaining EXP, you're using EVs, whether you like it or not. Not caring would be either not playing, or just leaving your pokémon perpetually in daycare.

Ever sped-run through the Elite 4 or used the Match Call system to face specific trainers for the sake of Levelling? You've been EV training. Ever used the Macho Brace, even just to try it out? EV Training. Ever blown cash at the department store on Carbos and HP ups? Guess what you've been doing.
