    EVs change your stats based on which pokes you fight.

    IVs are determined at birth and are a random number (annoying as balls).

    EDIT: Both were present in G/S as far as I know. I do know that IVs where present in G/S. In fact, that's why you couldn't transfer pokes from G/S and B/R to RSE, they used a different value system for their IVs.

    G/S did have IVs, but the formula they used for them made it to where they affected the stats ~10 to maybe 15 in difference.

    The only real reason IVs were in G/S was to incorperate Shinies, which was weird because there was a way to trade a G/S pokemon to R/B, alter the stats, then trade it back and it'd mysteriously be shiny.

    the thing I find most atrocious in Pokemon is if you play the game with no outside information you have no fucking clue about any of this.

    which is doubled by Pokerus if you have access to that

    then it's x2 of the Poke's actual EV.

    I don't do the Battle Tower enough, so I make due with a Macho Brace and Pokerus.


    also: damn, they really rag on Magikarp. The Pokedex entries for it are downright brutal.

    "magikarp is the shittiest pokemon ever and would probably die by choking on it's own barbels if it wasn't for retarded trainers like you always catching them for a gyarados. i hope you die too, you piss covered shitdick"

    I enjoy Pokemon, occasionally I decide to actually build a decent team of pokemon and do something with it.

    Then I look at a long list of pokemon and get confused and give up.

    How do I do this right guys?

    Alakazam, he's the tournament friendly Mewtwo. Just make sure he's got maxed out speed and spec atk EVs and sweep away. Oh, and remember that the slightest breeze can down most Alakazams, so don't whip it out haphazardly.

    Think I'll break my PokeHiatus by making a Cradily.

    Cradily@Leftovers
    Bold (+Def, -Atk)
    222 HP, 144 Def, 144SpDef

    Confuse Ray
    Toxic
    Recover
    Giga Drain/Energy Ball

    Quite annoying, ain't it? Figured it'd replace my Umbreon and I'd bring my Arcanine out of retirement to replace my Leafeon.

    So it's kind of weird how the official site for the Pokémon TFG only shows a small number of the figurines. Pokebeach has a poster that shows all the ones in the first set, which I uploaded to my photobucket in case he has some weird hotlinking rule.

    Some of them are pretty neat looking.

    I vaguely remember there being more on display at comic-con. Possibly second set models. Possibly just mixed-up memories from all the D/P posters, costume characters, trading cards, pencils, etc. that was going on around their area. Madness.

    I'd abandon it for a Milotic. It's a reverse-Gyrados that can hyperbeam like a Gyrados used to before "special" was divided up.
