Ahem ahem. IVs are barely important at all, especially under level 50, giving almost zero stats

taxes Nov 30, 2025 5:35 PM nintendo

for example, at level 100, 31 ivs gives 31 stat points (the avaerage pokemon having 200~ in stats)

taxes Nov 30, 2025 5:35 PM nintendo

at 50, those 31 ivs instead give 15 ivs (meaning 30 and 31 are the same at 50)

taxes Nov 30, 2025 5:35 PM nintendo

15 stat points is extrodinarily neligable

taxes Nov 30, 2025 5:35 PM nintendo

it does not matter if a level 15 rarttata has 31 ivs

taxes Nov 30, 2025 5:35 PM nintendo

because it is 4 stat points

taxes Nov 30, 2025 5:36 PM nintendo

it is alos impossible t o give trainer pokemon EVs until sun and moon

taxes Nov 30, 2025 5:36 PM nintendo

meaning they all have zero EVs

Phijkchu_Pikachu Nov 30, 2025 5:36 PM nintendo

okay but what if that 1 extra attack makes you lose Max

Phijkchu_Pikachu Nov 30, 2025 5:36 PM nintendo

have you considered that

taxes Nov 30, 2025 5:36 PM nintendo

Meaning your pokemon are often actually stronger than the enemy

taxes Nov 30, 2025 5:36 PM nintendo

because you have EVs

I joined Drayano's discord and he's not interested in doing hacks anymore apparently

I stopped holding out hope for it. Good to know hes done ig. Such a shame, HG/SS was the first pokemon games I really played and the remakes were super good imo

TinyBomby Nov 30, 2025 5:37 PM nintendo

he hasn't OFFICIALLY said he's done, but he's said he's lost all motivation and not really interested.

Polar_ Nov 30, 2025 5:37 PM nintendo

Is it IVs in pokemon that are supposed to be divisible by 4, there was a point where I pretended to care about competitive pokemon

TinyBomby Nov 30, 2025 5:37 PM nintendo

Anyway, why play pokemon hacks when you can play Puppet Dance Performance smh

EVs are divisible by 4 yeah

taxes Nov 30, 2025 5:38 PM nintendo

IVs is a value thats 0-31

taxes Nov 30, 2025 5:38 PM nintendo

that is on that pokemon forever when you get them

taxes Nov 30, 2025 5:38 PM nintendo

EVs is when you kill a pokemon

taxes Nov 30, 2025 5:38 PM nintendo

they reward an invis 1-3? maybe 4 idr, "EVs"

taxes Nov 30, 2025 5:38 PM nintendo

when you collect 4 evs on a pokemon

taxes Nov 30, 2025 5:38 PM nintendo

at level 100 thats ONE stat

taxes Nov 30, 2025 5:38 PM nintendo

at 50 you need 8 evs to = one stat

taxes Nov 30, 2025 5:38 PM nintendo

etc.

taxes Nov 30, 2025 5:38 PM nintendo

it scales similarly

taxes Nov 30, 2025 5:39 PM nintendo

natures matter much much more at all times than anything those can do

taxes Nov 30, 2025 5:40 PM nintendo

especially in a ROMHACK, where NO ROMHACK EVER has EVs on trainers pokemon

Polar_ Nov 30, 2025 5:40 PM nintendo

Yeah I get them confused at times still, I know EVs are used for manipulation in pokemon speedruns

Polar_ Nov 30, 2025 5:40 PM nintendo

Also pokemon speedruns lol

TinyBomby Nov 30, 2025 5:40 PM nintendo

I can't recall EVs being used in speedruns

taxes Nov 30, 2025 5:41 PM nintendo

pokemon speedruns gen 3-4 all abuse rng manipulation anyways

Phijkchu_Pikachu Nov 30, 2025 5:41 PM nintendo

The n word

Phijkchu_Pikachu Nov 30, 2025 5:41 PM nintendo

I know that too

TinyBomby Nov 30, 2025 5:41 PM nintendo

Rob definitely knew nothing

All medals battle frontier

TinyBomby Nov 30, 2025 5:41 PM nintendo

all medals battle frontier is an insane speed run

If I can find what im talking about ill link it later. Essentially you use a static mon (like one youd recieve in a trade) and then preform specific EV training to rng manipulate

theres no rng manipulation you can do in a game using this

anyways the common person wont like when they can't get pass a random youngster joey on like rout 3

taxes Nov 30, 2025 5:42 PM nintendo

drayno hacks arent meant to be nuzlocked tho

taxes Nov 30, 2025 5:43 PM nintendo

hes said that himself

taxes Nov 30, 2025 5:43 PM nintendo

if ur notnuzlocking its fine

TinyBomby Nov 30, 2025 5:43 PM nintendo

Drayano hacks are pretty easy imo, but that's also because I'm incredibly familiar with Pokemon

taxes Nov 30, 2025 5:44 PM nintendo

imo what messes me up more in them

taxes Nov 30, 2025 5:44 PM nintendo

is his changes

DeadDogJE Nov 30, 2025 5:44 PM nintendo

if i havent made it clear i love blaze black. i'm just trying to explain how pitch black fills a different niche

TinyBomby Nov 30, 2025 5:44 PM nintendo

I don't really enjoy anything more difficult than Drayano though

Anyway, Run&Bun is garbage

DeadDogJE Nov 30, 2025 5:47 PM nintendo

i bought a 3ds recently so that's why i'm playing pokemon

Polar_ Nov 30, 2025 5:50 PM nintendo

Whats everyones favorite version of the DS (including 3ds)

Polar_ Nov 30, 2025 5:50 PM nintendo

I am quite fond of the original DS Lite

DeadDogJE Nov 30, 2025 5:51 PM nintendo

for the 3ds its gotta be the new 3ds xl. It's just shiny and feels more premium than the old 3ds xl

DeadDogJE Nov 30, 2025 5:52 PM nintendo

the old 3ds xl is made out of plastic which broke on mine

Polar_ Nov 30, 2025 5:52 PM nintendo

Did you ever own the 2DS? I dont know anyone who did, but I heard they had a few weird issues like screen discoloration

TinyBomby Nov 30, 2025 5:52 PM nintendo

Yeah the new 3ds XL is definitely what I've spent the most time on

Phijkchu_Pikachu Nov 30, 2025 5:53 PM nintendo

Ranking every handheld I owned, 3ds > gba sp > ds lite

taxes Nov 30, 2025 5:53 PM nintendo

>>>xl

taxes Nov 30, 2025 5:53 PM nintendo

yaaaawn

Polar_ Nov 30, 2025 5:53 PM nintendo

My friend recently purchased the Black/Red DS Lite again and we were talking about the best iteration of the DS.

DeadDogJE Nov 30, 2025 5:54 PM nintendo

the placing of the stylus and game card slot are not very good on the n3dsx though

TinyBomby Nov 30, 2025 5:54 PM nintendo

I used to take my GBA SP to school with me...

Phijkchu_Pikachu Nov 30, 2025 5:54 PM nintendo

Only console I ever took to school was my 3ds in grade 11/12

Polar_ Nov 30, 2025 5:54 PM nintendo

I think the only gripe was how the gba games were not flush in the handheld like older versions which is kinda just ocd ig
