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

 

[Eurydice]

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]

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]

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]

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.

Yes, of course they are! :)

 

[enderalex]

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]

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

 

[Myles]

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]

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]

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]

Whats EV? Shows how much i know xD

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

 

[Ninja Caterpie]

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]

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.

 

[abnegation]

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.

 

[Kieran]

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

 

[The Doctor]

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

I just play for fun

 

[angel]

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.
