Do you care about your Pokemons natures when you playing through the game?

I do not worry too much about natures during the story, as long as the nature does cause a major hindrance in battling. In story I try to go for neutral natures if possible, but adamant or modest will do, too. I just want to enjoy the game and not spend hours trying to come up with a competitive Pokemon with my already limited resources, including time.

Who can say?
I do prefer decent natures but don't worry too much about it. Unless, as people have said, its a nature that is a proper hinderance to a particular pokemon. so a Modest physical attacker or adamant special attacker. In game I tend to settle for any nature as long as it doesn't lower that pokemon's main style of attack.

I really don't care about their natures since I don't battle competitively.

I don't do competitive battles, calculate ev stats, don't breed/SR for the perfect pokemon, so... You can say no to that.
But I do go shiny leaf hunting.
 
Since I don't battle competitively, I don't really care what nature my Pokemon are.
 
Not usually, unless it's just an abysmal nature and is the complete opposite of how I want to use the pokemon. Like, I got a Jolly Slowpoke, so I went and caught another. It was Hardy or something, so I kept it.

Competitively, yes.

No. I like my pokemon just the way they are.

Yes, inside of competitive I do.

Outside.... No.

Not even in NL runs.

Yeah I do. I always look everything up on Smogan first and then try to form a team that's fit's well together, even though I don't participate in competitive battling. It's gonna drive me crazy that I won't be able to do this with Pokemon Black since there are no lists yet of the new tiers so I'll be posting my team here in a day or to get an idea of what sort of natures that I should go with. It's also gonna drive me crazy knowing that I won't be able to IV-breed since apparently you can't transfer items from the Gen 4 games to Gen 6. Don't get me wrong, I'm looking forward to the new games but this is gonna annoy me nonetheless.

Not really. My Pokemon are just fine how they are, I don't really care. :/ Even if it's really bad.

I care about natures to a point in-game. As long as it's not a stupid nature, for example a Sassy nature on a sweeper or a Hasty Nature on a Physical Wall. But if it's a neutral nature or not a hindrance to important stats, I will take it e.g. I will take a Naughty nature if I find a Pokemon with it before one with an Adamant nature.

I prefer to have either natures that do nothing to any of my stats or increase one of the favorable stats.

Currently all of my Pokemon except Feraligator have neutral natures. I didn't notice until I was in Goldenrod that Totadile had a modest nature when hes more ATK...

I usually don't for in-game play, but when it comes to battling I make sure that they are of the correct nature.

I actually constantly reset for a Good-Natured Lugia, which I did end up getting--- and shiny.

Normally no, but right now I'm trying the BT so I'm putting effort into getting good Iv's and the right nature to use now.

Honestly though, how much of a difference do natures make? Unless battling for competition, they are fairly useless.

Nope, never cared for it unless I'm raising that Pokemon for a contest, otherwise not at all.

In-game, no.
Otherwise, yes.
I don't really actually battle much due to my wifi being terrible, but I still raise competitive, correct nature/flawless IV'd/EV'd pokemon because I enjoy it. Well, I guess I do use them in PBR... XD

I never really cared about the natures of my pokemon, until recently. I don't battle competively, so I never even gave it a second glance, the first pokemon I saw that I want I caught it. Now that I am waiting for BW to come out, I am replaying some of my games, and it is kinda fun to see what natures I need to get to make them really great. : )
