I know they wanted raised pokemon to be stronger than caught pokemon at the same level so your bros feel stronger than random chumps, but there had to have been a better way than this shit. If you're not meant to game it, and it's just meant to be a background process, why make it so convoluted and why add mechanics like berries that let you manipulate it? If you are meant to engage with it why put such a ball busting system into a game for 6 year olds? It's like a sick joke they played on the few people who were even aware of its existence, like if you know enough about the mechanics to know how it works you're a dumb nerd and deserve this bullshit we give you.

So here's the thing:
If you were to train your pokemon the regular way, you would kill hundreds, if not thousands of pokemon you find in bushes
You know none of them pose a threat to the pokemon you're training, and you always have a healing center at hand

So tell me. Why would you spend possibly several weeks to do this, instead of just duping rare candies and be done within an hour or so?
How is your life improved, having mindlessly grinded your pokemon to max, never facing a challenge while doing it?
You just wasted weeks of your life, while someone reached that goal within the day, and got to continue playing the game, and you didn' even enjoy the grind, just had to do it.
If a grind is incredibly monotonous and requires constant repetition of something that takes minimal input from the player and poses no challenge, then you should always cheat in whatever it is that you're aiming for, otherwise you're just wasting your time.

HOWEVER, in the case of Pokemon games, don't fucking grind or cheat, you don't have to, the games are piss easy, the trainer fights give you more than enough XP to progress and you only need to understand the rock, paper, scissors gameplay, levels won't matter all that much unless there's a massive gap. And don't hoard consumables, use them constantly, especially stat boosts.

This shit is laughable cause the gym leaders are so obviously designed around being higher level than you.
I guess these autists would literally grind to match their levels anyway, but the intended way to play is for your guys to be like level 12 when you're facing Roxanne's level 15 Nosepass.

Honestly EVs really aren't that big of a deal.
Even in the earliest implementation of them it doesn't take more than an hour of killing Wingulls to max out your mon's EVs
Is it grindy? Sure, but honestly it's kinda worth it for that perfect Pokemon - seeing the +12s to the trained stat on each level up really gets your tailbone singing.

But seriously, if you really did that, then you should 3-5 boxes of mons to choose from. You've probably nearly finished the dex and seen all three pixies, which you needed to do anyway to get the national dex after beating the game. Post the third box and we'll pick out a mon that looks cool.

It's sort of implied through various items and dialog, but the mechanics are never made fully understood to you at any point and I don't recall anything saying 'hey beating up X gives Y' either, there isn't always a correlation between that and base stats.

>Vitamins (and feathers) making certain stats higher, but they couldn't be used over 100 EVs until SwSh
>If you get Pokerus for the first time, in most games you're told by a nurse that it's beneficial
>Macho Brace mentions it slows the wielder down but 'promotes growth'
>Since Emerald, several berries reduce your stats if used
>DP adds specialist equivalent stat-manipulating gear
>Other games may have NPC services or other features that promote growth in some manner
>Later ones have star graphs for EV distribution but never numbers

Outside of items, shit's technically tied to experience so it took until BW to be able to get EVs at Lv100 and effectively retrain, and XY to adjust the stat cap to 252 instead of 255 (as to avoid wasted points) on top of other odd tweaks overtime. For what's meant to be mostly a children's game, I must say the EV system is oddly nuanced but also opaque.

I don't judge anyone who cheats though, the RNG is retarded, and I've legitimately lost shinies due to being unlucky (Shiny Paras in Safari Zone didn't stay in the ball) or just being unprepared (Shiny Makuhita in Victory Road whirlwinded me in gen 3, although this is the exact situation why I now always master ball such shitters in early gens if I find them).

I've been playing the pokemon games in order, I'm now on Emerald and would like to transfer my mons from Blue and Crystal over, can pkhex handle that? I assume gen 1 and 2 don't have any way of getting the added stuff to gen 3 on their files naturally...

>100 pokemon are weaker that naturally raised level 60 pokemon
Full effort value investment is 63 points in a stat.
On a pokemon with base 100 in the stat, a level 79 with full investment has just over what a 100 does with none. The exact level will vary by what the base stat is, higher base stat = smaller difference, while lower base stat = higher difference.
Now realistically, you're not getting full investment in a single player playthrough. You're getting the same, mostly even spread everyone else gets, unless you're autistic enough to kill 252 Zigzagoons or whatever the fuck the moment you catch your pokemon. On average, this is gonna be AROUND 15 points in each stat, maybe plus 3 if you gave them one of the vitamins you found for the appropriate stats which means a level 100 has around the stats of a level 94-95.

Now remember, the rare candied pokemon can always at least benefit from vitamins, and in more games than not, can benefit from raised evs by entering and exiting the PC.
So no. A level 60 pokemon, with full investment in EVERY stat (impossible) is not stronger than a level 100 with no EVs.
This is double, because Level itself is a stat that factors into damage calcs.

I think, this would be probably most in-line with someone getting shitstomped in gen 3 at Tate and Liza, because they soloed the game to that point with Torchic, in Emerald, and Blaziken suddenly can't handle it alone. But, not soloed the game with Blaziken, in the sense that they have an overlevelled monster, but in the sense that they ran from every wild, and avoided every trainer, so Blaziken is only a little bit above curve.
The rest of their party is like, a Wingul, a Shroomish, a Zigzagoon, a Zubat, and a Tentacool. They have never used a TM.

What the anon that helped them did would be like using the Super Rod outside Mossdeep, adding a Sharpedo to take the gym, and then telling OP they need to go catch and train something or they're going to get raped by the pokemon league, because Blaziken is going to fucking die to Drake and Wallace.

Assuming you don't have the VS seeker, you memorize a few common pokemon that give a point in the stat you need and farm them. Some pokemon are staples that appear in most games, so some stats are very easy to train. Let's look at Emerald:
>HP
Whismur has the tunnel all to itself
>attack
Poochyena is common from the start
>defense
Geodude is a staple for defense. The Magma hideout lets you also farm Graveler and Torkoal for defense
>special attack
Spinda is very common where it appears. In most games, Gastly is a staple for special attack
>special defense
Tentacool is a staple for special defense
>speed
Magikarp is a staple for speed

>>713803686
Don't act like ev training before XY wasn't the most tedious, sleep inducing chore in the game. It was still time consuming even with a power item + pokerus on a 2-3 EV mon and you had to keep track of your kills, especially for non-252/252 spreads.

Or, if catching the Sharpedo counts as grinding, then this would be pulling the Castform out of the PC, using the Protect TM on Tentacool to abuse the enemy AI, and buying Blaziken enough turns to do it solo

I assume, because there's a playerside variable for shininess anyways, there's just a flag for if it generated as shiny that is retained, and can translate between games with fundamentally different bones for how the pokemon work.
If nothing else, since HGSS Red Gyarados is a thing, I imagine there's a "force shiny" process in the game somewhere that can be comandeered for the task in the newer games.

This has happened in every game since BW2. You can pack a team full of endgame tier pokemon within the first hour of the game.
It's part of the core problem with early route shitmon design from Gen 7 on, in that these pokemon are fundamentally useless, because they have the same availability as actually good pokemon.
It's the gen 1 Pidgey problem, where Spearow is better in every conceivable way, and is available 30 seconds after Pidgey is, except now it's Yungoos or Pikipek or whatever being compared to goddamn Bagon available like 2 minutes later.

I always max out my items/money/BP in Pokemon games. Going to be grim if the next gen releases before the Switch 2 gets any sort of homebrew.

Where's the joy in grinding levels?

I'd much rather have enemies with levels scaled to my strongest pokemon.
Why do I have to train my Lv. 40 Swampert to Lv. 60 to take on the Champ and his high Lv. 50s pokemon?
Why not just cut the bullshit and make his team the same Lv. as my number one top guy?

whats the fucking point of IVs?
it's just bullshit that is entirely out of your control.

>whats that, the pokemon you catched has ONLY 21 speed IV?
>lol, lmao

I dont want to spend half my lifetime breeding for perfect IVs.
at least natures are easily inherited by the mother carrying an everstone and it's only ONE minor dice roll compared to SIX

The game has had bottlecaps that max your IVs for a decade ish basically nobody breeds now unless they want something stupidly specific likea shiny starter in a non-standard ball

it IS a big problem in all the romhacks I play though.
all trainer pokemons have a PERFECT set of IVs.

my relaxed sceptile with 3 speed IVs is slower than the opposing golem

now tell me the cool johtomons. heracross, typhlosion, tyranitar? fatmons. scizor? downgrade from scyther. houndoom? cool but kanto only

now compare rattata to sentret or hoothoot to pidgey. johtomons are fat blobs meant for merch to little kids. now don't get me started on the actual forgettable mons. stantler, delibird, yanma, shitflora may as well not exist

It served to both make your pokemon feel stronger than random enemy pokemon you encounter, and to make the pokemons stats more customizable for post game/competitive play.
It's actually a fine system, the problem, [articularly in the earlier gens was how much of a fucking grind it was to undo evs and to train them from scratch.
It's much better now that you can do it way faster by just slamming pills into the mon to make it perfect using quickly farmable in game currency.

Just use pkhex honestly. Romhacks have been tryhard shit with every trainer having a full team of fully EV'd mons ever since Kaizo.

Pokemon black 2 allowing me to import a beldum directly at level 5 to be my starter in a mono steel run is another reason on the very long list of reasons that black and white 2 are the best in the franchise

Your Pokemon will have no EVs and will be underpowered for their level. Have fun with Cynthia and her max EVs.

I have.
unfortunately, pkhex doesn't support every romhack out there.
it always throws an exception and crashes, like here:

There is a stark contrast between the gen 1 and 2 dexes, particularly the roundess and lack of detail in the Johto designs. Sugimori said in the gen 3 interview that the simpler designs were intentional to make the merch and the anime easier to produce. Denying it is being plain disingenuous.

If you're not training all day long you weren't on the road to viridian city anon. The journey to being a pokemon master is what matters. You'll only be cheating yourself

I used to dupe rare candies to train mons for pokemon stadium or to maybe give me access to a stupid to acquire interesting mon for a run. Nothing op, maybe like a specific fossil mon but only when I get access to when I'd normally be able to get a dif fossil mon.
Whats the point in even cheating in sp pokemon? The games almost beat themselves.
