How Do You Kill Time While Ev Training?

[Zelos Wilder]

Since Ev training is not the most fun task to do i always try and find something to take my mind off it while doing it. I usually listen to music watch tv, look at some old youtube videos that i have on my favorites...etc. What do you guys like to do to past the time?

 

[locoroco]

well i kill time watching all of the movies of pokemon again

 

[institutions]

I don't.
I always have a notepad open and keep track of every battle and EV.
I don't want to accidentally go over the EVs I need, or lose count, just for something stupid.
It only takes around 20-30mins to fully EV train a Pokemon anyway with Pokerus, Power items, and vitamins.

Same here i also keep track of my Ev's, tho i don't have pokrus or power items =[ just me and my macho brace lol.

i usually watch tv or listen to music as well. but there really isn't much you can do while EV training. lucky for me i have an AR so i can just look at my pokemon's EV/IV and never have to worry about estimating, so that really cuts down the time

EV training? Not fun?

Surely you jest!

There's nothing more fun than beating down the same pokemon over and over, all while tallying up a few points after each round. Heck, sometimes I EV train pokemon I'm not even going to use, just out of boredom.

...

I listen to music -.-

Waaaaaat? It takes me at least a month to finish one pokemon. I guess lack of pokerus contributes, I could never get it to stay or spread to the other pokemon.

I don't do anything either. I just EV train. Half-hour at a time tops, then go do something else.

i usually just browse the web.

 

[RTHookers]

I just Pokesav them lol. Really I just use the pokes I used in my adventure / 3rd gen adventures etc. So I edit their EVs IVs and natures and movesets.

I listen to music whilst spamming A on my DS. During this, I tend to go with the older Kita Khyber releases, rather than Pop Radio BS, Insomniac's Entertainment System, CRTified Technician (for those who don't know, Kita is a techno artist), or any of the PokéRemixStudio songs. Occasionally, I'll watch some TV as well.

This thread belongs in General Pokemon Gaming because EV training is more game specific.

I've only really EV trained once and I killed time by putting my iPod in and relaxing. It does help when you have your mind off things.

I can't do anything else when I want to EV train, I tend to get distracted and then lose track of what I killed and that can really screw me up. Like institutions, it doesn't take me long with Pokerus and my Macho Brace...maybe like 10 minutes per stat (assuming I'm maxing it out). I always have the TV on near my desk anyway, but I never sit down and actually watch it...it's just for background noise.

This.

Although I find it tedious, I don't want to screw anything up.

 

[NickofTime]

Man! people need to start counting by using pp; thats the best method
what i do is troll on forums =P (J/K)
no actually i contemplate suicide, ev training is about as interesting as watching paint dry
btw i feed my pokemon flintstone vitamins, pretty dank

 

[Pokeyomom]

Tragically, I can only do one thing at a time, so I just completely commit myself to the monotony of EV training:( I'm glad I haven't done it in a while lol.

 

[Elite Overlord LeSabre™]

I usually only listen to music. I constantly need to make sure I'm keeping track of how many EV's I've gotten and make sure I'm running away from Pokemon that don't give the EV's I want.

 

[Neurotripsy]

I'm not really good at multitasking while playing, so I generally devote all my attention to it & listen to music to make the time go faster.

Since I have A.D.D, I just grind away, keeping track of what I got via note pad (as previously mentioned).

I would really love to have music or something, but it never works out. Otherwise I would, and have, fudged up EV training. Makeing me start over form square one.

Oh sup, long lost twin :P
but yeah, this is why I can't do anything else. The slightest thing distracts me, such as a post on PC that I find the urge to reply to, then suddenly I forget how many Pokémon I've killed and I have to go back and start over.

Since I never have enough money for vitamins, it usually takes me a while to fully E.V. train a Pokemon.

I always listen to music or chat on MSN whenever I E.V. train a Pokemon. Time seems to fly by whenever I listen to music during E.V. training.
