People like you need to be punched.
You play a game to have fun. If you try to be like Cell-level perfection, then you're not getting enjoyment out of the game. Playing a game without fun and just trying to "be the best there is" totally defeats the purpose.

It doesn't defeat any purpose at all. IV's and EV's were obviously meant to have a purpose, so why not take advantage of them?

^Actually, that's the point of all video games nub

To beat and perfect every aspect of the game. That is the goal of all games. I'm getting plenty of enjoyment out of my game by trying to perfect every pokemon within it. Pokemon is not life. Pokemon is a game meant to be perfected, and I have a achieved that goal (almost).

Not even close, ti physically cannot be that cut and dry. video games are there to provide enjoyment to the player, if that means playign through the story, like most of us, or being a genetics scientist like you are. If that's what ou get out of it, then great. More power to ya. (literally). But some of us aren't interested in being mad scientists and trying to build our own Franensteins and you can't tell me I've wasted 30 bucks because I wasn't interestid in beating the absolute best time, or making sure I killed everything if I enjoyed playing them. We recognize EVs and IVs as being there to make the game more difficult, and if you wish to, another facet of the game like Contests were and the Pokedex race is.

A recent one I recall was when I first got White Version. I just got finished doing everything in Castalia City and I wasn't paying attention to the battery on my DS, so it died on me and I had to re-do EVERYTHING in Castalia. Took about an extra hour, could have been worse.

I can't believe i just found this .

Ok so i was watching the first Pokemon movie and i happened to notice that around 22:18-22:24 Brock says "I didn't know vikings still existed"(because team rocket was dressed up as vikings to take Ash,Misty and Brock to where Mewtwo was) then Ash answered back with "They mostly live in Minnesota." My mind just blew right there and then....;201-p;;201-p;;201-p;;201-p;

I didn't know there was United States in pokemon world =).

 

[abrar14]

Well Unova is based on America but obviously there was no Unova discovered back then.

 

[abrar14]

If that was a roaming latios it will still stay shiny the next time you see him.

 

[DjOmmar]

True but still.. makes me wonder..

 

[SoulSilverMstr411]

I didn't know there was United States in pokemon world =).

There isn't. That was a reference to the Minnesota Vikings, and nothing more.

 

[abrar14]

I only battle competitive on PO as well.

It doesn't. That line was made purely for the American dubbed version, and didn't happen in the original...

 

[DjOmmar]

Original as in Japanese version?

 

[DjOmmar]

Yea but why in pokemon?

 

[abrar14]

Don't double post

Yes original as in the japaneese version.

And just because they threw in the reference.

 

[No. 1 Machop Fan]

Well there is a Hollywood California in Pokemon. It was visited in Go West, Young Meowth, and was revealed to be the place Meowth grew up and learned to walk and talk.

 

[DrakoKnight15]

Maybe minnesota is in Unova? The mind ponders.....

 

[randomspot555]

While the line is a dub only line, there is evidence that there is (or at least was, at some point) a United States in the Pokemon World. Lt Surge is a veteran and fought in "the war"*, and is known as "The Lightning American". In the Japanese anime, he speaks with a distinct American accent.

*"the war" in 1996, when Pokemon Red/Green were originally released, was probably referencing Vietnam.
