C'mon guys. EV's are for people who suck balls at developing battle strategies, so they pimp out their Pokemon with shit that, despite the popularity, has not been confirmed by GameFreak as far as I know. The only people who have claimed to have proven it have absolutely no irl social skills (Serebii, for instance) and would profit socially from this 'discovery'.
on the contrary, its always been in the games
ever since red and blue, and pokemon platinum and hgss makes it obvious about your natures/EVs now, also remember those effort ribbons? guess what they were for?
but yeah, dont bash everyone who uses EVs, some of us actually liek playing competitivley with our pokemon at their max potential
evs are optional, if you just want a regular fight without caring the stats or nature, then thats fine, but TRUTH BE TOLD, that your pokemon will be terribly hindered and will have stats it shouldnt have, BUT IF YOU DONT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THAT, THATS OKAY TOO.
some people like playing competitively.
some dont, there. EV training is a bitch and it requires a lot of time wasting but hey thats how the game is, blame gamefreak for making them in the first place.
