Man, I don't understand how do you guys do it. I really wanna enjoy the PWT, it seemed so exciting to me when I first learned about it, and it was the thing I was most looking forward to when playing these games. But it turns out I'm just spending more time NOT playing the PWT since there are so many pokemon I wanna try out, but having to jump through all these hoops for IV breeding and EV training all of them, deciding what moves I should give them, what other mons I should use and wondering how much they synergize with the main pokemon I wanna use, what there ev spreads should be, it's all just so exhausting to me. If it was just about getting the right natures and EVs, that's more tolerable since EVs are more controllable, and I can atleast guarantee getting a desired nature on the mon I wanna use when breeding with a Ditto holding an everstone. IVs and sometimes even abilities are the problem here though since IVs are pretty much all randomized and you can't change them, making IV breeding a huge time-waster. I try not to pay attention to them and just focus on the stat that I want the IV to be perfect in, but I just get super autistic about having the MOST PERFECT pokemon. Abilities can also be annoying since some pokemon can have two abilities, making breeding even more of a time-waster than it already is. Doesn't help that I'm just super lazy and have low energy/motivation to commit to this seemingly gargantuan task most of the time, which is why I barely bothered with the Battle Frontier in Emerald. Makes me wonder if I should even continue to bother with the PWT since getting the perfect stats in everything has been very stressful and tedious. A part of me wants to go all "fuck it we ball" and just throw all this IV breeding shit out the window, and just focus on natures and EVs.
