    Watcha Gonna Do? EV, or Fun?

    Well i know theres a ton of people out here who will go insane for a EVd pokemon

    so Im wonderin, are you guys gonna EV while playin threw?

    or you just gonna relax, chill & enjoy the new region& new pokemon?

    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
     
    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
     
    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
     
    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 :)
     
    What do you mean 'or'? :P

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

    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.
     
    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.
     
    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.
