    Depends what I'm training.

    I find it highly amusing to take a level 1 hatched pokemon through the elite 4 (or now in Platinum that house in the Survival zone) with an exp share. That makes training a big more enjoyable!

    Otherwise, against low level pokemon. It's pretty boring!

    If i am EV training somethin worthwhile (Like Azelf) and have worked hard to get it, then yes, I do think it's fun. If, on the other hand, I'm leveling up Pokemon, then that's just plain boring!

    If training wasn't in the game I wouldn't play it, so yes. xD

    I train for contests and the Battle Frontier, and I usually have fun with that. :)

    Definitely both.
    Depends, as everyone's mentioned already c:
    It's fun sometimes, but also annoying other times.

    I EV train everything, so it's quite tedious.

    The one exception is my Starter, a Dodaitos(The Grass/Ground Guy. Forgot his English name) with a Terrible Nature(Timid, which is -Attack +Speed). I use him as an "EV Sponge" to soak up any unwanted EVs.

    It depends from who wants to train, however I prefer to play on the simulators as NBS or SB since it is very fatiguing to create team.

    I find EV Training quite fun. Sure, it could be tedious if you don't encounter the right Pokemon that has the EVs you want but it is still much quicker to do than grinding up to Level 100. Shouldn't take no more than an hour to finish one of them.

    I find training to Level 100 tedious in this generation. There is no point in doing it unless you play against other people locally frequently.

    I find I have to be in the right mood to train, then it can be quite enjoyable and relaxing...If I'm not in the right mood...I can get rather bored.

    To me EV training is the only thing that bothers me but leveling up is great especially with the animation. In emerald it was really boring because of the lack of animation. Why couldnt they just put it in? they put it in FR and LG

    It really varies, sometimes I don't bother and sometimes I feel happy and train alot.

    I do most of my grinding in front of the TV not really paying attention, so I don't really mind it. But even if I am focussing on it, I still enjoy it - it's part of the game.
