>>53629648So do you catch hundreds looking for ones that are already perfect, or do you use pokemon with stats and abilities that don't help them on purpose? You say you're okay with modifying their EVs, but what about their moves? Are you okay with making them forget old moves to give them new ones? What about items that they had when you caught them? Are IVs and natures somehow sacred? Athletes go through rigorous training in order to lose their fat, build their muscles, and develop proper habits. Training your pokemon is the same, and you're doing them a disservice by making them fight while fat, weak, and uninformed.
