Well, Ryan's good at it

Plus, since he already manages the Nintendo thread, it's easier for him to spot Pokemon related news. I usually only check Serebii.net every 2/3 days, so i'm not on par with the news that much.

By the way, why aren't there any pokemon trainer battles going on here? My team is still up there if anyone wants to take them on

This thread doesn't get enough posters for a tournament, sadly. :(

A VGC tourney (well, a "League") was tried before and failed miserably

I wouldn't mind individual battles. Haven't done any online battles in a long while (and i'm not touching the random matchup over at the Wi-Fi center >_>).

Yeah, Smeags told me about that. It's pretty sad it failed. :/ 

Is that your actual Pokemon Team?

Yeah, they're still not at level 100, but they can easily take 100s given that they have been honed to IV and EV perfection (for example, my Haxorus has 392 attack at level 93, given that it has 31 IV and 255 EVs on Attack)

When I got into that IV/EV training thing I got quite obsessed with it. xD I trained literally for hours. All I wanted to do is show those little boys on the road whos boss! ^_~ I trained my Togekiss and Milotic to uber Special Attack perfection! 

Ahhh Milotic, one of my team's bane!  

But yeah, IV/EV training can become an obsession once you get the hang of it. The drive to train and hone the most perfect version of your favourite pokemons can take hundreds of hours easily. Thankfully, on Black/White, EV training is much easier than on previous gens, since you can EV train even after level 100 (the stats re-calculate after gaining enough EVs for it).
