There is no logical reason for IVs to continue to exist. Pokemon are "random" enough with nature and ability rolls. All this does is make it so it takes 10+ hours to breed a competitive viable pokemon instead of maybe 1 or 2.
As more and more people get tired of IV breeding, more and more people will look to injecting. Injecting has even become popular among normies because people don't feel like wasting an entire month to breed for a single competitive team.

>10+ hours to breed a competitive viable pokemon
Bloody hell, you're bad at this. Even when I'm going for hidden ability, four egg moves and nature, with a hidden power and 87.5% male, it rarely takes more than 2 hours.

IV is shit. Why defend? Natures EV Moves and ability give us enough ways to customize pokemon
As someone who has never used the breeding mechanic, explain to me what IVs are.
I'm doing a runthrough of a modded HG/SS ROM, and decided to stick with "Science" themed pokemon. So far I've got:
- Porygon
- Kadabra
- Grimer
- Magneton
- Rotom
- Metagross will be #6.
What sort of nicknames would be scientifically appropriate? Things like "Subject 137" for Porygon or "M.U.K." for Grimer's evolved form? That kinda thing.
Thanks for the creativity!
>>26825303
Porygon can be called ELIZA, one of the first programs made to simulate a human answer.
Metagross can be called Enigma, because of the Enigma Machine, one of the first computers used to encrypt Axis messages in WW2.
Magneton can be called either Maxwell or Faraday. Faraday was the one that discovered an electromagnetic field in motion can produce a current on a conductive material. Maxwell joined together that and other 3 laws, making possible to decipher how electromagnetic waves work.

Nye and Tyson are a must.

That's pretty damn brilliant. Science Major detected.
I was thinking of going with the abbreviation of some sort of corrosive compound for Grimer. The only one I know of is Hydrochloric Acid, so maybe Hydrochlor?
And dammit, this poster's right about Kadabra. Any good alternatives that won't totally screw my team composition over? I'd totally go for Duosion if this was Gen V, but alas. Claydol offers coverage and levitate, but is more archeology than hard science...
Why are there so many stallfags on pretty much any competitive scene of Pokemon?
You see so many people using teams consisting of nothing but stallmons. There's no strategy put into the game. None. Everyone just leeches off whoever comes up with a new stall team by simply copying it.
Instead of banning stall you have groups like Smogon being incompetent and banning things that outright disrupt stalling and turn a blind eye to major offenders. I can assure you Nekkoala will be banned when it comes out because its ability shits on stallmons.
So what do...

>Everyone just leeches off whoever comes up with a new stall team by simply copying it.
This is true of any competitive though
Everyone just copies what the top players are doing, because it works
>>26825165
True, but it's much more annoying with stalling in Pokemon, because even in all the other copied teams you at least need to think a little.
What meta do you run? Plenty of stall breakers if you play pokemon on cart and don't sim.

Sell me on the Mystery Dungeon games, /vp/. Are they worth playing?
Yes, Explorers of Sky is the best Pokemon game I've ever played
Great characters, comfy atmosphere, shit gets heavy in just the right way

Ask here
>>26824783
So you'd say that's the best in the series? What does Explorers have that the other MD titles didn't?
>6 vs 6 singles
>No rules
>All legendary Pokemon are banned and only them
How would a meta like this be? What would be the most used Pokemon?
Same boring shit basically.
Entry hazards were a mistake.

FUCK THIS SHIT
>Game Informer: "Many players of X/Y and OR/AS criticized that the games were too easy and offered no challenge. Will Sun and Moon be different in this matter?"
>JM: "When we make games, we think of who will play them. Of course there are the older fans who know Pokémon very well, but there are also many children who play Pokémon for the first or second time. It's important to make the games appealing to those too, so we make sure that everyone can at least progress to the Elite...
