I am definitely, gonna just sit back& hopefully love the new region, and all there is to do in it ^_^
I know EV training is important for compeetitive play blah blah blah, ill wait til after play threw the storyline a couple dozen times :P

Eurydice June 19th, 2010 12:38 AM

i never ev. i dont understand it and what i do understand it sounds boring. so i will just train my pokemon and have fun playing the game

Katie_Q June 19th, 2010 12:45 AM

Never ev. Sounds boring to me, not really my thing. I'm not into wi-fi battling. So i'll be going through the game having fun, exploring, checking out the new pokemon etc

enderalex June 19th, 2010 12:50 AM

im going to play through and beat the crap out of it, then im going to EV the crap out of my pokemon :p its what i normally do ahaha

Essence June 19th, 2010 12:51 AM

Going to find a way to make Cherrim own everyone through th whole game. Then, restart and fun play the game. Then restart again, do a challenge through it and keep that file :) It's usually what I do.

Not as awesome as the mighty BIDOOF :D
jk ;)
but yea also, i may ev train a pokemon i catch later on in the game before i beat it cuz i did that in heart gold and it seemed to work out pretty good :)

austin00081 June 19th, 2010 1:08 AM

EV training takes too much of an effort sometimes. I enjoy playing leisurely.

Myles June 19th, 2010 1:21 AM

What do you mean 'or'? :P

But, yeah, on my first playthrough I don't usually EV train. That's post-league stuff.

I tend to think it's for obsessive compulsives, that can't transition to another game.

Anyway, I am just going to play it for fun. No reason to break the immersion of an RPG

LethalTexture June 19th, 2010 1:37 AM

I just catch Pokémon as they are for the in-game portion and raise them as equals. As has been said, if I were to EV train, that would be post-league breeding frenzy.

SargeantMajorKururu June 19th, 2010 2:30 AM

I have never EVed. And I am a huge fan. I don't get it either. I always just sit back and play the games...

countryemo June 19th, 2010 3:08 AM

Whats EV? Shows how much i know xD

Im just gonna sit back and enjoy the game, play through.

Ninja Caterpie June 19th, 2010 3:19 AM

Who bothers EVing during the game, ah? I sure wouldn't. =| It's way too boring and tedious to bother. I'll just rush through the region taking in the sights and sounds (particularly the sounds!) and play through it the fun way.

Although, with your title, it makes it sound as if EV training is the opposite of fun. "Have fun...or EV TRAIN!"

JAK3 June 19th, 2010 3:21 AM

I don't even know how to do it, but if I did, I still will never do it. So, that's my answer, I will NEVER EV.

seeker June 19th, 2010 4:08 AM

I don't think I've ever done EV's throughout playing the storyline of a game, but I could be wrong. I tend not to worry about having to train my team in such a way as it's sort of pointless given the fact that you don't need to. So I'll be sticking with old fashioned training anywhere to ensure my team is strong enough to beat the next gym routine. Besides, it'd be hard to EV train if you hadn't visited enough places yet.

Rengoku June 19th, 2010 4:29 AM

EV is alien language to me :P
I never do it.

The Doctor June 19th, 2010 4:38 AM

I dont EV train at all since i have almost no clue how to.

I just play for fun

angel June 19th, 2010 4:46 AM

I'm going to play for fun. Probally do what I normally do, go through the game aand after beating Elite Four I run around and fill up my pokedex and level up my team.
I've never understood EV. My brother has tried to teach me a couple times I never got it. So I special breed pokemon instead.

lionrt60 June 19th, 2010 4:46 AM

rush the game, ev train:Pbut maybe not this time...idk

Winged Guardian June 19th, 2010 4:56 AM

EVs? i dont understand them and they sound boring. ill just quietly play the game me own way, then let whatever happens happen. i just enjoy the game.

Her June 19th, 2010 5:04 AM

I've never EV'd in any game of Pokemon ever and I certainly don't plan to start now.

A Pixy June 19th, 2010 5:15 AM

Fun, I've always done that and it's always been fun. (b")b

shengar June 19th, 2010 5:53 AM

Ev'd all of my Pokemon. I'm traumatized saw my beloved Meganium had 154 attack stat while its spec attack only 120. Since then seeing my pokemon growth properly=fun. EV training not that bad in my opinion, its add little fun for me. I also have Pokerus in my platinum, it will be a bit foolish if i'm not ev'd train my pokemon. But never do breeding, nature, IV, or anything random like that.
