    What keeps you investing hours grinding up the pixels on your screen? Is it a love for the game and the games universe? Do you just want to crush somebody online? Do you take pride in the Pokemon you raise?

    Or do you just have that kind of free time?

    Ever since the Pokemon "world has been taken over" sorta craze ended I've found myself a very casual participant in the Pokemon fandom. I don't learn the hottest new things and I'm not up on the show or the new Pokemon and that bleeds into the game. The newest game I've bought is Diamond and I'm enjoying it a fair amount (though I honestly think it has less personality than the other games) and I'm working on my team. I just sometimes get stuck in a rut of "why bother to train these Pokemon?" and love to hear others stories for inspiration.

    So do share!
     
    It's fun and yes there is a sense of accomplishment that comes with reaching your goal
     
    Yeah, its fun and you feel proud! Your like 'Phew' when you've trained your pokemon up to Lv. 100, with loads of hours of gametime then suddenly... 'Your game file has corrupted due to damage, your game file has been deleted.'

    Lol, imagine it!

    That would be enough to cause heart attacks! lol XD :P
     
    It is just fun!:D And also if im just desperate for a certain evolution/move it just keeps me going! :D

    Turbo~
     
    There are many reasons but I can't think of all at the same time! Proof: I remembered many reasons one by one!
     
    Right now, I'm wanting to get into WiFi battles with my UU team. I enjoy general battling, but actual training is tedious. Still, I'd love to get to 100.

    I keep training to better myself at wi-fi. I'm a terrible competitive battler, but I have noticed an increase in my skill since I've started. Though, most of what you call 'training' for me is breeding for a good nature...

    Don't you find breeding tedious? :P

    Haha! I know... Think about how many hours of your life you waste, watching a screen and pressing buttons... XD
    Plus, Pokemon games record those times for us... How nice...
     
    All I can think of its fun to do, and what I'm doing is raising all of my Pokemon to the nearest 10


    :t354:TG
     
    I do it to obtain a team that could crush all my friends. Haha.

    And Platinum has much more storyline and originality that D/P.

    EDIT: Pseudo Legendaries are the best. Currently training a Metang -> Metagross :]
     
    The reason I continue to train my Pokemon is because I still find it fun to do and because once I have used a specific Pokemon for a while, I start to get attached to them. Its much the same for my friend, who also continues to train his Pokemon. (we both train in EVs, but don't see the point in IV Breeding, so battles are pretty interesting XD )
