Training: Tedious, or fun?
 
Okay, this is for Platinum and Diamond and Pearl.

So, do you find training tedious, or fun and exciting.

For me, it depends on my mood.

Depends what I'm training.

I find it highly amusing to take a level 1 hatched pokemon through the elite 4 (or now in Platinum that house in the Survival zone) with an exp share. That makes training a big more enjoyable!

Otherwise, against low level pokemon. It's pretty boring!

Grinding isn't fun. So no.

Space Guard April 23rd, 2009 10:13 AM

If i am EV training somethin worthwhile (Like Azelf) and have worked hard to get it, then yes, I do think it's fun. If, on the other hand, I'm leveling up Pokemon, then that's just plain boring!

Zelda April 23rd, 2009 12:06 PM

If training wasn't in the game I wouldn't play it, so yes. xD

I train for contests and the Battle Frontier, and I usually have fun with that. :)

Sweet Candace April 23rd, 2009 12:09 PM

I like to train. I find it a challenge to get all my Pokemon on the same level.

Elite Champion April 23rd, 2009 12:11 PM

ev training is sooooo borring

but training for levels is so fun

woohoo go levels

Virtual Chatot April 23rd, 2009 12:14 PM

Ev training can be a pain in the bum, but other than that, I find it fun :3

*Yay! 3000 posts! XD

Anyway nice answers so far, and i will admit, EV training IMo, is less tedious than training for levels to me :P

kissing. raindrops April 23rd, 2009 12:38 PM

Definitely both.
Depends, as everyone's mentioned already c:
It's fun sometimes, but also annoying other times.

Dunsparce April 23rd, 2009 12:44 PM

I EV train everything, so it's quite tedious.

The one exception is my Starter, a Dodaitos(The Grass/Ground Guy. Forgot his English name) with a Terrible Nature(Timid, which is -Attack +Speed). I use him as an "EV Sponge" to soak up any unwanted EVs.

Sebastien Loeb April 23rd, 2009 12:53 PM

It depends from who wants to train, however I prefer to play on the simulators as NBS or SB since it is very fatiguing to create team.

SilverTheIronKnight April 23rd, 2009 2:05 PM

it is up until iv pretty much beaten the game n then the only good exp battles r 4m the E4.
after that, its just repetative and boring

msdmario April 23rd, 2009 4:23 PM

I find EV Training quite fun. Sure, it could be tedious if you don't encounter the right Pokemon that has the EVs you want but it is still much quicker to do than grinding up to Level 100. Shouldn't take no more than an hour to finish one of them.

I find training to Level 100 tedious in this generation. There is no point in doing it unless you play against other people locally frequently.

Charliezard April 24th, 2009 12:19 AM

I find I have to be in the right mood to train, then it can be quite enjoyable and relaxing...If I'm not in the right mood...I can get rather bored.
/obvious x3

Translator April 24th, 2009 12:38 AM

I think Pokemon training is quite tedious but it can be fun sometimes.

mystery913 April 24th, 2009 1:20 AM

To me EV training is the only thing that bothers me but leveling up is great especially with the animation. In emerald it was really boring because of the lack of animation. Why couldnt they just put it in? they put it in FR and LG

Queen April 24th, 2009 1:34 AM

It really varies, sometimes I don't bother and sometimes I feel happy and train alot.

.Ozymandias April 24th, 2009 1:48 AM

I do most of my grinding in front of the TV not really paying attention, so I don't really mind it. But even if I am focussing on it, I still enjoy it - it's part of the game.

bruteroot April 24th, 2009 4:04 AM

Training is extremely tedious but it has to be done lol

kohei April 24th, 2009 4:34 AM

EV training is fun, especially since everyone around me only does LV50s.

The tedious bit is the egg hatching and IV calculation process...

RYOUKI April 24th, 2009 5:20 AM

No. I really can't be bother. I mean, why can't all Pokemon be captured evolved, and a high level? tsk tsk tsk. Oh, and I never EV train, and if I did, I would have crushed my DS long time ago.

Psyburn April 24th, 2009 6:06 AM

Lucky Egg = hax

Its fun taking a level one and running through stark mountain with exp share too.

zerwey April 24th, 2009 12:10 PM

If I'm playing against Trainers it's usually fun, but I hate battles against wild Pokemon. :(

Ev Trainer X April 24th, 2009 12:13 PM

For me, pretty much both.
