Ah, thank goodness for emulators then. I wish I still had my computer. I had so much fun with PC games. I suppose you're right about it being a challenge. Who knows, you may even come to like some of the Pokémon you get. :)
Yea, I've been doing my best to learn about EVs and IVs. I plan to implement it after I beat the game. :)
I just checked out some of your favorites and I have to say Darmanitan and Volcarona look quite amazing. I had considered using a Purrloin through my main story but I couldn't get over the fact that it has loin in its name. It's silly I know. I could name one Miau though. That would be a bit more pleasant to the eyes. :)
