Hey there, shadow! Welcome to PokeCommunity; it's wonderful to have you here! :]
So, you're into game development? It's your lucky day, then - we have a wonderful, highly advanced
Game Development section with piles of members that I'm sure would help you learn how to do what you have your eyes set on achieving! Just hop on over there and get started! :> I'm sure you'll find your niche sooner or later - just work at it for a little while and you'll achieve it in no time!
As for EV/IV training, you
might be able to get some help in the
In-Game Team Help forum depending on what you know/want to learn. Of course, you might have to present some of your own Pokemon/partial teams before you're able to get accurate advice! I could also help you, if you want -
my profile is open for any questions you have. I'll help you to the absolute best of my abilities!
Anyway, I could never make a huge commitment to the manga either. There are way too many sagas and their all
way too long. It's a chore reading so much, especially for something that's not canon to anything and whose characters that are known so well from the anime/games are written much differently. I mean, seriously - characters die in the manga. That's crazy to me. @_@; The anime is fun, though - I'd give it a try if I were you!
Once again, welcome to PC - please leave me a VM if you want to talk or need help with anything. Anything to make your stay that much more enjoyable.
