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

I never EV. o_O
I'll just play through the game (1-2 weeks I guess ?) and then start training another batch of Pokemon (not EVing) to show my brother I still own him in Pokemon after 6 years ! xD
 
I never EV train during story mode. I usually just sit back and chill.

But after the storyline, I usually complete pokedex, and then If I want to EV train, I will.
 
As for me, I'll probably stick to my usual strategy, I'll stick with a consistent team of 6 until
I beat the Elite Four (assuming Black/White has them) and then I'll catch more Pokemon and do random side quests. That's how I've done it for as long as I can remember.
 
I never EV train. I don't really understand it, but it doesn't appeal to me, I just play for fun :D
 
I will not EV.
Well I'll go through the game like "la leee daaa a fun strool" (OK I won't!)
I usually only EV rarely when I've beaten the game.
So fun for me...
 
Well I always play through a game just having fun, enjoying all of the wonderful things in the game, but I make sure that each and every Pokémon on my team has a perfect nature. When I'm done the game I'll just reset their EVs with berries and EV train them once I've unlocked all of the game's locations XD; For me, training a Pokémon to Lv. 100 without properly training it seems like a waste...at least, for good-natures Pokémon o3o
 
I am probably going to, as I'll be very unsure on what EV's would be best, play for fun the first time round. Afterwards I'll probably look at stats and choose ideal natures and appropiate EV's second time and onwards. =)
 
The same way I play all of my games: explore every single corner of every town/city/forest/route, catch all the new pokemon, and train my pokemon like crazy. I feel like the first game in a new generation is special and so it should have your greatest number of pokemon, and most powerful ones, on it.
 
I Don't really understand how to EV Train Pokemon, I am slowly learning though... so I think the first playthrough I will do for fun, just to really enjoy the game, and the second play through, once I've experienced the whole game, I will try to ev train or do things more technical etc.
 
i always just play the games for fun mainly because that's my favorite thing about pokemon and i barely ev train after i've beat the game anyways
 
I'll most likely get gen 1 pokes as soon as possible:D Then, I will proceed to beat the stuffins out of all the new pokes. That's the plan, man.
 
by the time the english games come out we will have obtained info on all of the different pokemon so i may pick my team of six based with the new info and of course i will use pokemon i think look cool
 
I always play through the storyline first before I think about EV training. It's harder to control what Pokemon the one you're EV training will battle when you don't know what a trainer has, or what the Pokemon are in a wild area.

Besides, EV training gives me something to do after the storyline, so the game isn't "finished" as soon as I "win".
 
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

Brilliant post! This is exactly what I'm going to do, and I couldn't have phrased it any better. :Dd

Yes. I Agree as well. I might not do that on my Restart file, to get off some load, so yeah...
 
same as always- the 3 Game rule
i'll start the first game with the grass starter and just try to go through the game
second i'll pick water and go through getting as many pokemon as i can
third is fire and i get items and talk to everyone i see
 
I'm going to catch the Chinchilla Pokémon after getting my starter and a few others. I absolutely love it!

But, I will search every nook and cranny, and find lots of items. Hopefully they will have some new items.
