I don't have the patience to train a pokemon for the sake of training it, at least not for that long. I just use my Action Replay-ed Colosseum to bring my Pokemon to whatever level I need. I don't abuse that, however, and I will do the same service for my friends (just as long as it's not too many pokemon; I
do have a limit on candies, even if it is really high).
Of course, real training would involve effort values. That's what I'm really not patient at doing. It takes a long time to get the appropriate effort values even with the Macho Brace. If I were to train something for serious battling, I would get the effort values filled as high as they can go in my specific design. Not one of my pokemon has been customized in this way because I'm not patient enough.
