I use natures and EVs, but I don't pay attention to IVs.

First I breed the pkmn I need with a Ditto or with a dad that has the moves I need, and I keep breeding until I get 6 pkmn with the nature I need, then I update my storage in pbr to check the iv's

First time through a game I generally don't EV train or check IV's or worry about natures.

Then I'll create a team with the correct natures and EV train them a little.

Now I'm creating a Battle Tower team and I'm checking the IV's, but I'm settling for high 20's for the important stats and anything for the others.

However, I enjoy breeding much more than training. And I also love to chain *even though I barely get any shinys* and plant berries.

I personally don't mind any nature, especially if it is a rare pokemon. In that situation there is not room for complaining. But you train your pokemon the way you want. :p

I don't go really far with that stuff. It's not like I don't want to it's just I don't get it at the moment.

It depends. Sometimes I may try and EV train my pokemon for a day, but sometimes I dont care about EV training and battle high level pokemons. So I dont go that far when I EV train.

Before, I dont really do EV training and I am not particular with IVs and natures, until lately when I learned of the difference they make, I decided to have em EV trained also. Then I started to get the right natures for competitive battling and also did some IV breeding (but i do prefer to get IV breds by others since I am no expert to getting the IVs I really want.).

Breed for Natures and EV train. That is about it, I couldn't care less about IV's. Oh and I also EV train my pokemon
in-game as I catch them (during new game that is) which many deem to be a rather difficult task

I pay attention to Natures and EV's, but I only use them if the certain stat they're bred for has an IV of at least 20.

While Nature is the easiest dynamic value to determine, IVs actually have a much bigger impact on stats. I would say that nature is usually the least important compared to IVs and EVs. (the exception being for when a pokemon has a very high base stat)

I have only paid attention to Natures so far, but have recently been looking into using IVs and EVs for training better teams. I'm making the jump from casual trainer, although the whole concept of EVs and IVs still confuses me.

I pretty much go all out, Nature, EVs, IVs, everything has to be pretty perfect or as close to perfect as I can get when I breed:)
