Isn't there an "inbetween" option? Having played Pokemon since the beginning, and reading the plethora of tips and strategies to be found on this site, I certainly have the ability and knowledge to play like a pro. I am conscious of natures, and movesets, etc, etc. However, building a competitive team, EV training, or bothering to "catch 'em all" just doesn't appeal to me. It's just not fun. I play through the game, assemble a moderately good team of Pokemon I either like or haven't used before, beat the game, and then start over with a new team.
