> Just play with w/e I caught and liked> Get into natures and ev training> Obsess over getting as many perfect IVs as possible> Get shiny with right nature, egg moves, IVs, and ev trained.> Realize I wasted a whole month planning and organizing everything> Go back to just playing with the mons I catch and train as is> They all lose to necrozma> Bring in super weapons I trained from past games> Decide not to use them and try again with the mons I caught along the way in-game> They're not perfect, but I still love them, work out new strategy and win> Lost interest in OU tier pokemon (few exceptions) and just play with pokemon I like even if they're garbage in competitive.
