Guess what though, some people breed and train even after that. And for that post-E4 training, power pokerus is far superior. It only pertains to people who would train at that point, as power items are BP rewards along with competitive mainstays like choice items and suicide orb.
In past games, you would have no business EV training before the postgame. Super training makes it viable now, I'm not arguing against that. I've maxed the EVs on pretty much every pokemon I've had in my party through super training this time around, so I'm not saying it's terribly bad.
What I am saying, however, is that there's 61 seconds of "down" time for every 24 points you gain in training. That does not include the time you actually spend in the minigame, which makes it far longer if you have a shitty shot type or low EVs. Even if you instantaneously beat a minigame as soon as it began, it'd STILL be slower than wild training. Not having pokerus is hardly an issue when people are almost always willing to share it (even if you have to ask), and once you have that and power items you have them for good.
The breakdown
>17 seconds from hitting "confirm" on the minigame to being able to fire the first shot>17 seconds of spam tapping from when the ending cutscene starts to when you get dropped back into the minigame menu (after rewards)>27 seconds of spam tapping on a large punching bag to break it
