shuldnt be too hard, right?
Or what am i missing?
Ehem, I was just stating my opinion. No need to fuss over it. Hacking can mean more than just 'an external device modifying a game save'. Now now, I don't want to argue.
HACK! Play the games naturally and it's a more rewarding expierience, RNG and...I don't think so
I really dislike the methods of "competitive" battlers ,because they've made it where it's impossible to use whatever pokemon you want and still be competitive.
You have Smogon which is dedicated to spreading this even further.
Telling you exactly how to build your team.
The sad fact is due to all this IV and EV "training"
we've ended up with a game that was originally about the individuality of trainers and their pokemon into a game that's all about . Who abused the game mechanics the most.
It's even to the point where alot of "competitive" battlers will make fun of people who use any thing other then the 50 or so pokemon that are tournament usable.
We were never meant to know how to abuse IV's and EV's so anything done to make this possible is cheating to me.
To those who are going to respond to this trying to say I can use the pokemon I want just in different tiers. That's a product of your need to abuse the system. It's a symptom not a cure.

To those saying you can use the pokemon you want as long as i don't mind getting beaten all the time." again that's a sad creation of the pokemon world YOU created. Not an answer, getting beaten all the time because I refuse to abuse my pokemon isn't right at all. Nor is knowing that i will get single handedly wiped every time i random battle fun in any way.
I relate it to all these people in the GTS asking for lvl 9 shaymin etc. You're making pokemon multiplayer not fun. I love the single player, but I would much prefer it if I didn't have to just stick to single player for the rest of Pokemon history because I don't always have the time to set up a match with someone I know that doesn't Abuse their pokemon. Sometimes I like to just have a quick fight and stop.

I saw this in another person's signature. Pretty sure this show's what the makers of pokemon think of the subject.

Randomspot i could quote every single thing you just said and respond with nothing but false as well. It just makes you look like a douche.
IV's and EV's not being abused by people would make it where looking at this site wasn't cheating.
I don't use it's stuff beyond news and the forums.
Mewtwo isn't a problem to deal with in my scenario due to the lack of EV and IV training. i never said good move sets were cheating as that is something we were meant to control.
Smogon exists SOLELY to show you how to make your pokemon the way they are "supposed" to be made given whatever scenario you want to use them in.
More people i have met make fun of people for using anything outside the 50 pokemon i spoke of. when you walk into any given convention and not meet a single nice trainer outside of very small children (who even then may be brats, not to mention i don't care to play pokemon with kids) that tells you something. Overwhelmingly the majority are elitist.
on top of that, this argument of yes IV and EV training vs No IV and EV training never was supposed to exist in the first place. The reason we weren't suppose to know is proven in by the sheer fact they originally programmed IV's and EV's so that each pokemon was unique in it's stats, not so people could abuse the system.
lolnope. First of all, I highly doubt you know what EV's actually are since you falsely claimed they affect pokemon when it's first caught/hatched/etc.. They don't, EV's only come into play when battling with that pokemon begins. Secondly, IVs were not made to never be discovered. Game Freak would have to be stupid to think no one would find them and learn to manipulate them for making pokemon reach their max potential.imho, RNG isn't hacking but it is cheating. Pokemon EV's and IV's were only meant to make it so every pokemon is individual in the beginning. Not manipulated so that you have the pokemon to be the best it possibly can be.
Smogon isn't demanding that you build your team a certain way, they're just telling others the most effective ways to do so. People listen to them because they give good advice, unlike anti-rng morons probably swinging their level 70 Charizard in every match.I really dislike the methods of "competitive" battlers ,because they've made it where it's impossible to use whatever pokemon you want and still be competitive. You have Smogon which is dedicated to spreading this even further. Telling you exactly how to build your team.
Pokemon always had IV and EVs, those who work hard and are educated about playing competively have always been on top. And this isn't exclusive to Pokemon either, educating yourself about inner workings of game is always the key to success, from everything from FPSs to fighting games.The sad fact is due to all this IV and EV "training" we've ended up with a game that was originally about the individuality of trainers and their pokemon into a game that's all about . Who abused the game mechanics the most.
That's because everything outside "the top 50"(which is a really conservative estimate on the number of good Pokemon btw) is most likely inferior and using it puts you at a disadvantage.It's even to the point where alot of "competitive" battlers will make fun of people who use any thing other then the 50 or so pokemon that are tournament usable.
Wrong, as I explained in my first response.We were never meant to know how to abuse IV's and EV's so anything done to make this possible is cheating to me.
I remember an Amazing Atheist video I watched a few months ago where a person he was arguing against said that exact same phrase. As TAA replied(paraphrasing), "That's just a catchy marketing slogan, it doesn't really mean anything. 'Coke is a symptom, Dr. Pepper is the cure!'. 'Roses are a sympton, daisys are the cure!'. 'Nintendo is the sympton, Sony is the cure!' See? You can apply it to anything."To those who are going to respond to this trying to say I can use the pokemon I want just in different tiers. That's a product of your need to abuse the system. It's a symptom not a cure.
Sorry, but Pokemon WAS always this way and weather or it is right that working hard on your Pokemon breeds success. What wouldn't be right is that people like you who evidently are too ruled over by emotions(Pogeymanz have feelings111) and/or are too lazy to raise good pokemon were handed success while the work of those who truely care about the game went unrewarded.To those saying you can use the pokemon you want as long as i don't mind getting beaten all the time." again that's a sad creation of the pokemon world YOU created. Not an answer, getting beaten all the time because I refuse to abuse my pokemon isn't right at all. Nor is knowing that i will get single handedly wiped every time i random battle fun in any way.
It's plenty fun for those who aren't lazy asses.I relate it to all these people in the GTS asking for lvl 9 shaymin etc. You're making pokemon multiplayer not fun.
Well sorry, competitive games don't work like that. People who do care about winning exist and they aren't going to stop just because you're crying that you can't have victories as well if you don't work for them.I love the single player, but I would much prefer it if I didn't have to just stick to single player for the rest of Pokemon history because I don't always have the time to set up a match with someone I know that doesn't Abuse their pokemon. Sometimes I like to just have a quick fight and stop.

Also, apparently while i was posting this a few people (more then likely pokemon abusers) have responded to me with nothing more then their bias towards it.
Randomspot i could quote every single thing you just said and respond with nothing but false as well. It just makes you look like a douche.
IV's and EV's not being abused by people would make it where looking at this site wasn't cheating. I don't use it's stuff beyond news and the forums. As I have no need for the information on different pokemon where I can just go in game and look at it.
Mewtwo isn't a problem to deal with in my scenario due to the lack of EV and IV training. i never said good move sets were cheating as that is something we were meant to control.
It's only EV's and IV's that are ridiculous.
Also to jb08045, training my pokemon is no fix as long as IV and EV trainers are out there. Smogon exists SOLELY to show you how to make your pokemon the way they are "supposed" to be made given whatever scenario you want to use them in.

Overwhelmingly the majority are elitist.
not to mention the way you and randomspot replied to my points does nothing more then prove my point here. any further replies to me in the tones your taking will do nothing but FURTHER prove my point here. Cause you know yelling at someone whose saying that all "competitive" trainers are negative, and elitist really goes to show just how nice you actually are.
on top of that, this argument of yes IV and EV training vs No IV and EV training never was supposed to exist in the first place.

You can use any Pokemon. Just note that the competitive community has given you all the knowledge you need incase you don't want to play blindly.I really dislike the methods of "competitive" battlers ,because they've made it where it's impossible to use whatever pokemon you want and still be competitive.
Smogon doesn't tell you to do anything. They just state the builds that have worked consistently. You can beat Smogon builds with homebrews because Smogon builds are predicable and homebrews are not.You have Smogon which is dedicated to spreading this even further. Telling you exactly how to build your team.
This is incorrect. This is a stereotype placed on us. I tip my hat to those who use their own builds.It's even to the point where alot of "competitive" battlers will make fun of people who use any thing other then the 50 or so pokemon that are tournament usable.
If I'm not mistaken, Nintendo recently tried to expose the player base to IV and EVs through the B/W guide.We were never meant to know how to abuse IV's and EV's so anything done to make this possible is cheating to me.
Smogon exists to spread their opinion. It's not fact that you have to use those builds but it is fact that those builds are tested and accurate.Smogon exists SOLELY to show you how to make your pokemon the way they are "supposed" to be made given whatever scenario you want to use them in.
