Did you care about IVs when you first started this game?

[TitanPawnz]

I really did not know why they are needed in this game at first CX

 

 

[GoldenSunIsaac]

No, IVs where meh when I first started playing. I sold my starter for 700k thoe

[Bartolomew]

[KaynineXL]

Started caring about them around the first halloween event, which wasn't long after I first started playing.

I cared about them I just had to learn some things for instance.....I spent way too long trying to catch a 31 speed timid Abra with good spc atk lol

[Vaeldras]

more than i do now

[LillithAensland]

I didn't even know there was something called IVs...still don't care about 'em. If I have 31, then good for the Pogueyman!

This mentality makes it hard to sell comps :/

[BenGorgon]

I cared about them, but only passingly. I knew I would probably want to play comp in the future, so I kept an eye on what I caught, but it didn't matter to me much beyond that for the story.

Always, hell I released my starter cuz it was a naive venusaur with 0 sp.def

I kinda miss being oblivious to Natures and IVs tho

[Markani]

Before I started playing this game I didn't even know what Natures, EVs and IVs are/what they do. In the original games I never cared about them because my pokemon just had to be strong enough to beat the NPC's. ^^

 

I found it out after a while playing, but gave no attention to them, so I trained some ok IV-pokemon, but also some with very bad IVs.

[Rache]

I was vaguely aware of them when I started playing, but not too concerned until post-story as I played through it as a nuzlocke and literally couldn't be picky. When I checked my party members at a later date, turns out that some were good enough to be considered competitive at the time (albeit only in 100s due to their level, which I never played) and a couple are still usable now. Guess I got lucky.

 

I started caring about IVs as soon as the story run was over and I was able to freely catch Pokemon, but didn't have particularly high standards due to the lack of a breeding system at the time.

Sounds like you had a fun PokeMMO first experience!

This is off topic but:

I started playing around 10-14 days ago i learned that iv are important on the 3 third day .

[Dragoniiii12]

No, but when I started, we were still in CatchMMO.

[ZorNiFieD]

Not at all, I didn't have a clue what they meant when I first started.

[OldKeith]

Sorry, what is an IV?

[bigbangattack]

No, but when I started, we were still in CatchMMO.

I bet that was fun wish I played back then

I forgot we use to have Halloween events lol only way to get pokes like houdour shuppet etc.

[Edniss]

I'll be honest. When I started this game, I didn't even knew what the IVs / EVs were and what the natures did...

 

This game teached me a lot about Pokemon.

[ProGamah]

F**k no, IV training is the most boring thing possible it depletes the fun of the game although it is worth it. When i first started i was more interested in having fun than trying to breed 

[midganinja]

I look at the IV's and compare them to build my team in a way that makes sense to compensate not only for type weaknesses, but also IV strengths/weaknesses. However, I don't base my whole experience around training for EV's and natures. I try to keep a healthy balance of fun and calculated strategy. I think the nostalgia of playing it since childhood really drives my motivation to keep playing it, for sure.
