4th Gen Training: Tedious, or fun?

[kohei]

EV training is fun, especially since everyone around me only does LV50s.

The tedious bit is the egg hatching and IV calculation process...

 

[RYOUKI]

No. I really can't be bother. I mean, why can't all Pokemon be captured evolved, and a high level? tsk tsk tsk. Oh, and I never EV train, and if I did, I would have crushed my DS long time ago.

 

[Psyburn]

Lucky Egg = hax

Its fun taking a level one and running through stark mountain with exp share too.

 

[zerwey]

If I'm playing against Trainers it's usually fun, but I hate battles against wild Pokemon. :(

 

[Ev Trainer X]

For me, pretty much both.

 

[Drapion]

Depends on the pokemon, if it's a pokemon I like then it's fun, if not, it's dull :P

 

[st.jimmy]

i will find it fun if i'm training for an evolution to up my dex, recently i trained up gible, larvitar and bagon to there final forms by grinding with the elit 4 but i cant stand grinding to get to a high level to beat the elite four at the beginning of the game :(

EV training is kind of a hassle for me cause you have to run away to some wild pokemon if you want a certain stat of develop well. On the other hand, just for leveling up it's kind of sweet for me to level increase no matter the stats look. It worth the effort of training.

 

[Alexithymia~]

I like leveling up to evolve to something awesome :)

 

[PlatinumDawnFtw]

I normally avoid extra training unless I'm REALLY BORED.

I quit competitive battling because I couldn't stand EV training, let alone IV breeding, but that's water under the bridge.

 

[Ruphire]

It's really all how you look at it.

If I feel like training my pokemon, it will be fun.

If I DON't want to but NEED to train then it's pretty tedious.

I like the training part of the game. Why be a Pokémon TRAINER if you don't get into it. That's why I don't get the appeal of Shoddy since you don't actually put in the work to build your team.

 

[Azonic]

Tedious, especially when things called Shoddy exist.

 

[Omega Saikon]

Tedious and fun at the same time.

Exp. Share/first in line-up + Lvl. 1 Pokémon + Elite Four is the only exception.

 

[Ill -.-]

I actually like training and grinding because I usually put on a movie or some music and just chill. It's mindless fun.

 

[sirboulevard]

I train hard core, but I do find it tedious. I prefer battling my firends or partaking in contest to training, but i know its a needed part of our lifestyle as trainers.

 

[joehat]

I don't mind it. It's easier in Platinum since most trainers have stronger Pokemon that give more EXP than in DP. I think it's worth it when you hatch a Pokemon and take it all the way from level 1 to 100. It's definitely fun and rewarding.

I finally found a Lucky Egg after Thieving about 25 Chansey's (my friend got one on his first try GRR), so that definitely helps. Not to mention I also migrated quite a few Pokemon over from my Leaf Green, so that + Lucky Egg definitely helps with training.

When you get the end result, it's worth it IMO.

 

[The Amazing Scizor]

I enjoy it. By the time I'm training seriously competitive pokemon, I have it down to an art. It doesn't take me very long at all to raise them to high levels, and I enjoy seeing the pwn enemies along the way. :D

 

[Haza]

its rather fun to me. I do it so much now that is easy and a faster process.

 

[Roxas92]

Eeehh. Depends on how Im feeling.
Like if im training, and I KNOW im gonna get a rather BEAST Pokemon, then YEAH its fun cause the entire time you cant wait to just PWN n00bs with it later on.
But once it gets to a high level its a pain -_-;
Training them when theyre really low is fun until it gets to a high level.
Then I get the urge to stab my DS in the face. Thats not good.
