To those that are veterans to pokemon, the way may be a vast improvemtn and FUN compared to old. But to a newcomer he could very well hate it and get turned off pokemon due to it. Let him just do the simple things first before throwing him into a professional. If this were a job, you woulnd't throw the new person at everything the job entitles, you would let him get a feel fro the game first and its base compontents. There are like 700 pokemon. Sure not 700 will be seen in the online atmosphere, but the 100 you will see will take time to learn what its multiple types are and what those types are weak to. If he's up against another user and the user throws out a pokmeon, its more important to know what that pokemon is weak to and what moves it most likely has versus whether you have perfect stats or not. Perfect stats won't help you one bit if you don't know what the opposing pokemon is weak to or leave a pokemon of yours sitting to take a super effective move. The most important and helpful tool for online battling is knowing the pokemon's weakness and when to switch in and out. No perfect stats help with that. Only experience wil. |
That's why he should use the Pokemon online simulator that lets him simply punch in the IV, EVs, abilities and held items. He can watch people play online, see which Pokemon looks cool and fits his play style, simply punch in numbers and stats he wants and test it out against others. If he likes what he sees, he tries to find those Pokemon in his game and train them there.
