How much does IV breeding effect stats? Can this be overlooked?

31 points per stat.

It helps, but not extremely.

though it would likely be a noticable difference if you fight enough people with Iv bred pokemon.

Speed is the only IV that really matters all in. Otherwise it's just slight damage/health boosts.

At level 100, let's say a Pokemon with 0 Attack IV's and 252 Attack EV's will have an Attack stat of 150. The same Pokemon but with 31 Attack IV's and 252 Attack EV's will have an Attack Stat of 181 at level 100.

Those 31 stats can be a world of difference.

>slight
approx. 10-15% increase (compared to 0 IV) isn't what I would call slight

Maximum IVs per stat is 31 and it raises that stat 31 points (unlike EVs that raise stat by 1 per 4EVs).
Here's a good guide fro breeding in X and Y:

Tamashii's video tutorial is very straight-forward and simple to understand:

Sounds pretty slight to me.
If you're the sort of person who runs damage calculations and EVs to be able to KO a certain threat, then yes, it's important, but if you're just casually battling in-game or against players who aren't serious, a 10% variation in damage is pretty small.

they are not that important, but eventually it will bother you (especially with pokemon that are not that strong and really need the push) and you will end up breeding at least one perfect team

You won't be thankful for it until you make a good team and keep on getting in situations where you win by the skin of your teeth.

Once this happens enough it's hard to go back to not-31-IV teams.

why do IV's even exist?, they do not offer any kind of variety to the game

i understand why natures and EVs exist, they offer a lot of different possibilities so you are not stuck with a single strategy when training a mon, but IVs only exist to force you to long breeding sessions in order to not be smoked by other people who have nothing better to do, what was GF thinking when they implemented them?

When your pokemon faint they might have been able to hang on with just a little more HP/defenses.

IVs exist so each Pokemon is different. IVs are basically a Pokemon's DNA.

The intention was for them to be hidden from players and to give each Pokemon a sense of individuality. It's basically meant to be a Pokemon's DNA.

At one point, Game Freak wanted to further that by having things like Pokemon being slightly smaller or larger, or the colors being a slightly different shade than usual. But that never happened.

if what they wanted to accomplish was variety they shouldn't have made it available to breed pokemon with perfect IV's

Question: Why 31 IVs? That's such an odd number.

IVs are represented with a 5 bit number (which can represent 32 different numbers: 0-31).

It's so if you catch a whole bunch of level 3 Pikachus, they'll all still be slightly different even if some have overlapping natures.

There's no reason for them to. Game Freak's just dumb because they can't see how bad of a mechanic it is.

This is what they should have done. It's more visible and aesthetic only so your Pokemon isn't objectively worse if it has bad IVs.

I don't think they even intended IVs to be use the way they are. As a matter a fact they are still technically hidden.

I say IVs made Pokemon what it is today.
