Hey! I just wanted to tell you that, yes, I'm from North Jersey and yes, that post was made at midnight. Just wait until I rate your team at 3am. ;D I'm just a night person, is all.
So, do you battle over Wifi? Cause, if so, I feel obligated to tell you about Pokemon Online. It's a great real-time competitive battling simulator. Plus, you don't need to deal with all the breeding, hatching, EV training and so on. Also, if you want a good article to cover EVs/IVs and whatnot, check this out. It's a 4th Gen EV training guide, so it's not up to date with EV training HotSpots, but it will tell you everything you need to know about EVs and how they effect your Pokemon. Smogon has the same thing for IVs if you keep looking around. I just thought I'd impart some personal knowledge on you in case you were having a hard time.
Also, I'm no expert, trust me. But thanks! And I like my font color too. If you ever need any extra help, feel free to find me and the other CBC regulars in the PC server on Pokemon Online! :D
