How hard is it to go truly competitive in Pokemon games, /vp/? It seems like there's so much to know and work for. EV's, wanting perfect IV's, the right natures, the meta etc. On top of all of that, you need to memorize all moves, pokemon abilities, weaknesses, accuracy rates, held items and more. It seems like so much, yet I want to be competitive and attend local Pokemon tourneys. So I restate the question /vp/, Is it as hard as I make it out to be or is it not that bad?
