Are there EV's in R/B/Y?

As the title says are there EV's in R/B/Y? I would like to know since I'm playing my old Yellow version now and want to know if I can EV train my Pokemon.

Yes, but they work differently. You can max out every stat rather than distributing them, and, using the box trick, level 100's can gain them. They're also usually called Stat. EXP or something like that.

Ok, thank you for the info.

Ya I think they are like GSC, the DVs or Deter Values
No, DV's are the exact same thing as IV's.

And, no, you can't get to 999 without hacking. There is a cap on how much each particular stat can have, but every stat can have their highest amount, unlike in 3rd Gen where the maximum is two stats having the most. I hope I made sense. x_x
 
DV stands for Dynamic Values. And yes there are EV's in R/B/Y. They range from 0-15 and range from 0-31? inin R/S/LG/FR/E.

Then where did I see deter values?

also, What about the IVs, I never heard of those.
IV's are a number for each stat (except in GSC, the two Specials have the same IV). When all is said and done after Stat EXP/EV's, and Natures (for 3rd Gen), at level 100 they add stat points for how high the number is (Ex. A Pokemon with a Special Attack IV of 12 will have 12 more Sp. Attack points than a Pokemon with the same nature raised with the same EV's with an IV of 0). They also determine Hidden Power types in the 2nd and later Gens. There's much more to it, but that's IV's in a nutshell.

Deter values? They're probably the same thing with another name, though I've never heard of them.

I said DV's and IV's are probably the same thing, which, by the link you gave, they are, and that Stat. EXP and EV's are the same thing with different names, but they both work differently in RBYGSC than in 3rd Gen.

Sorry, I thought the names of these things were the same in RBYGSC and RSFRLGE.

I've figured since this thread has to do with EV's in R/B/Y I'll make it a help thread for R/B/Y. Post where you EV train certain stats in R/B/Y, or if you want to find out where to EV train a certain stat, do it here.

I'd like to know a good place to EV train attack in R/B/Y. Also, I believe that Pokemon Tower is a great place to EV train Special in R/B/Y. So thanks for the help in advance.

Well whatever they are called, they're similar enough so just discuss them here. Again, where is a good place for attack?
 
The fact is the there is an EV like system in all of the Pokemon games. The very proof for this is because there are HP Ups and Proteins in R/B/Y so those have to raise some sort of hidden stat (thouhg I do not know what it is). As to something equaling EV training I'm not sure if the Pokemon would have the same EV points as they are in G/S/C and so on.
