>>13944848You're fooling yourself, kid.
The fact of the matter is that my IV bred, EV trained, Eggmove-chained pokes will be usable in Gen VI and yours will not.
Your move, compadre.
>>13944858>writing down numbersHere's a scenario for you: I'm EV training a Slowpoke in HP. Assuming I've infected him with Pokerus and have a Power Weight on him, Slowpoke will get 10 HP EVs from every fight with a Barboach. 12 from Stunfisk and Palpitoad.
That being said, how difficult do you think it is to count to 252 by tens and twelves? Because it's not. It's piss easy.
Factor in the IV-checker in the Battle Subway and Pokecheck for the sole purpose of checking stats, and I'm not writing down shit.
What irks me is when people say that breeding takes no skill. Sure, I can roll the dice a million times, but the skill comes from choosing the proper parents, applying the proper items at the right time, et cetera.
I play with a predefined handicap to challenge myself because I'm not some mouthbreathing tryhard who gets enjoyment solely out of spamming Earthquake. I want things to be difficult so that when I succeed, I enjoy it more.
And while I'm at it, it's not "pokemorals," it's having a sense of fair play. I don't cheat and I think it's wrong for others to cheat. You want to beat me in a pokemon battle? You'd better start investing time to get to that point, nerd.
>>13945032>doesn't want to invest effort to be good at a gamewhat a fucking casual. Go play some bots on LoL and come back to me.
