5th Gen How are you going to play the 5th Gen Games?

[lionrt60]

rush the game, ev train:Pbut maybe not this time...idk

 

[Winged Guardian]

EVs? i dont understand them and they sound boring. ill just quietly play the game me own way, then let whatever happens happen. i just enjoy the game.

 

[Her]

I've never EV'd in any game of Pokemon ever and I certainly don't plan to start now.

 

[A Pixy]

Fun, I've always done that and it's always been fun. (b")b

 

[shengar]

Ev'd all of my Pokemon. I'm traumatized saw my beloved Meganium had 154 attack stat while its spec attack only 120. Since then seeing my pokemon growth properly=fun. EV training not that bad in my opinion, its add little fun for me. I also have Pokerus in my platinum, it will be a bit foolish if i'm not ev'd train my pokemon. But never do breeding, nature, IV, or anything random like that.

 

[TheAppleFreak]

I'm going to play through the game once for fun, get the hang of Isshu, learn about the new 100+ Pokémon in it, then restart and do a challenge.

 

[polkop]

I will play the storyline for fun and relax (I don't care about IV, EV or even nature, just fun :))
Once I have done the storyline many times, I will start to build some nice competitive team with the new pokemon.

 

[Waki Tobaye]

I'm gonna play with whatever Pokémon I like on the first run (Black)
On my second run (White, on AK2i) I'm gonna Nuzlocke it.
And then on my original Black, I'm going to start making competitive teams.

 

[MistahDude]

I don't know about you guys but I am going to catch and train every pokemon I find on my very first play through of the 5th generation games. That way I can see which pokemon are better from my own experiences.

I usually just catch the first pokemon I find and use them, but I wanted to do something different.

What are you guys going to do when you play the 5th gen games?

 

[pokefan1211]

i'm gonna try all starters and catch the coolest looking ones, and the weirdest looking ones :D

 

[Sora's Nobody]

Well when its a first of one of the games i go as in-depth as i can! So i will talk to every person, get every pokemon (available) ect... But whe a third of the games come, i usually just progress through the story, only catching pokemons that are nesceasarry to proceed

 

[Myles]

I'm planning on playing it the catch and train tons of Pokemon, as opposed to a team of six, this time. That way I'll learn about the new Pokemon faster.

 

[enderalex]

yea im going to do it differently, ill probably switch to a new team every gym or so to keep things fresh :) though ill do some things the same like catch every pokemon i see that's not in my pokedex :p

 

[redsaber5859]

all i can say is... beat the game by monopokemoning (zoruak, the starters are sh*t) then import all of my gen 4 pokemon (hopefully they have a pal park type thing) restart gen 4 games, import, restart import, and my pokemon Black version will be EXTREME!

 

[mondays suck]

Nuzlocke Mode. Just Nuzlocke mode. The best of all existing playing forms in my opinion.

 

[Volroc]

im glad to see a bunch of players who just wanna have fun :D i was worried thered be only a handful lol ^_^

i unintentionally EV my pokemon threwout the storyline, usually maxin out speed lol

 

[Guy Buttersnaps]

Ya, the idea is to do both. You play through the game regularly and when you're done and have beaten it, then you worry about EV training and getting a team or two ready for competitive battling. They're not mutually exclusive.

 

[shookie]

I'm into EV-training and natures and IVs and all that junk, but I've never EV-trained when trying to play through the first time o_O it takes too much time and it's not like the gyms or Elite Four ever require that much effort.

I'll just do what I always do with the games: get through the storyline and fart around for a while. It entirely depends on what features Black and White will include and what will differ from the other games. I'm used to having Platinum as my RNG/breeding/EV hub and it works out fine, so there's no real need to change it. /shrug

 

[Arc]

Fun. I may be a competitive battler, but EV training through out the game the first time is pretty much impossible, especially if we don't know what EV the new Pokemon give off. So, I will be just cruising through the game with fun~

 

[Jake♫]

I always just play through normally, but when they crack the (inevitable) random number generator in the game...time for breeding =D
