Zaiara Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 It's just so unbearably boring to do for a full team. After doing a few, I just can't even convince myself to turn the game on anymore. Maybe make the macho brace give you quadruple? Link to comment

0 Zaiara Posted June 22, 2016 Author Share Posted June 22, 2016 (edited) Both of these solution would require just as much of a grind. I know what you're saying, but the fact is I have been playing this game for a year and a half and have 3 pokemon. I cannot convince my friends, who are all pokemon enthusiasts, to play this game based on the grind between so many factors just to get one competitive level pokemon. Even worse, I'm losing motivation to even log in for more than 10 minutes. The newer versions of the official pokemon game have addressed the fact that the older versions exasperate their users on the EV-grind, and have offered other avenues accordingly. I think this game would benefit from also acknowledging this, considering it's otherwise the best pokemon game I've played. Edited June 22, 2016 by Zaiara 1988fido and Kouteshi 2 Link to comment

0 Bishav Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Even though EV training has become easier now with hordes implemented, it is still boring af. Looking for an interactive way to ev other than bf. Making macho quadruple evs isn't a solution to it. Link to comment

That's a lot of additional programming, though. Link to comment

0 Uncandango Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I counted 31 minutes for EV training 252 EV (attack) with 5 pokemons at same time. Please explain what are you doing, maybe we can help you. BlackJovi, Perry, IndigoElite and 3 others 6 Link to comment

Please explain what are you doing, maybe we can help you. Not everyone is able to focus on such a repetitive, menial task for that long. Personally, it takes me at least three hours to actually EV a stat, but I have ADHD and so focusing on something like that for more than a couple minutes at a time is nearly impossible. I prefer just doing matchmaking until I have 10k BP to spend on vitamins. Link to comment
0 KaynineXL Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Wait what? They literally just made EV training like 10x easier lol. Not only that, but once you've EV trained 6 Pokemon you can just spam matchmaking and spend BP on Vitamins. It's literally piss easy. BlackJovi and Perry 2 Link to comment

0 Kailido Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 EV Training was made super easy now, as you now have hordes that give you a bunch of EVs for a single stat, in a single fight. Stuff like Defense and Attack that were boring to farm are now possible to have it reach 252 EV in like 30min to 1 hour each stat, when it used to be 3x/4x that time. If it was any easier or less time consuming it would just be way too fast compared to other pokemon games with RPG content I don't think it will be changed because someone works 2 jobs, that's not anyone's fault, and everyone/most ppl are fine with how EVs are trained right now Link to comment

They messed up Route 23 once (daytime was giving sandslash horde), and then they brought back ATT only hordes. They should make it far like route 23, like Lost Cave giving SPA only and no bat... Currently i do Meteor Falls (after climbing waterfall, first room) at night if i need SPA+SPEED (and bring 2 Kelpsy for rare mixed solrock+luna horde).

It's just so unbearably boring to do for a full team. After doing a few, I just can't even convince myself to turn the game on anymore.
