Nobody actually uses Luvdisc, so it's more like 14,183,735,261,958,144.

LOL! (Even less than Magikarp and Sunkern? {considering you battle with them but don't fully evolve them}) Yeah, I've barely used it either. Hopefully that thing can get a good evo in future Gens...and it better not be something ugly/useless like Luvlove or Discdisk (like with Lickilicky's name)

I can't find any reason for playing my game for fun anymore, except training my Eeveelution team. I just have lost interest, and are just waiting for PLT.

Well, I really like catching new pokemon just to train with, but I like to have an EV trained battle team for battles. Winning is always fun.

I don't like competitive battling very much, mostly because I would always lose... ^^; I certainly just play for the fun of it, just for something to do, really. :3 And because I love catching all the kyute wickle Pokemon! <3 I just try to get past the Elite Four. I don't try to train my Pokemon to any certain level, or hardly even to fill my Pokedex anymore.

I used to play this game for fun for a very long time...

But like they say ignorance is bliss...I would agree that I had more fun when I just enjoyed the game and didn't care about 'the right build'....

Now I find it pretty difficult to just play the game without thinking about what's the 'right pokemon' to fight to level up...

Applying Species Clause, permitting UEs and Ubers, (not clausing Luvdisc xP), counting different leads as unique, but otherwise counting different team arrangements the same, I'm only getting 116,047,831,432,344. :cheeky:

Anyway, play the game the way you like to. I find that hunting for shinies, breeding for IVs (to a practical limit), EVing, and building movesets is what makes the game fun. If you don't, you don't have to, but don't complain that they "ruin the game." They might turn the game into something you don't like, but you don't have to play your game that way.

If you don't like EVing but want to try your hand at competitive battling in an equal-opportunity environment where everyone has max stats, you could give Shoddy a try.

I don't really play my Diamond and Pearl much anymore. I'll take them out to battle over wifi, but most of what I do is on Shoddy. Don't get me wrong; I enjoy the games and love nearly everything about them, but when my main interest lies on the field of competitive battling, and I don't have wifi atm, I just don't find any reason to play on them other than training the occasional pokemon for a new team.

However, I still play my Silver and Emerald versions for fun, since I can't battle anyone on them.
