Okay, just a general question, do you really care about nature when it comes to pokemon? I mean a lot of people really get into it with good natures, IVs, and EVs and all of that other stuff. I care about a good nature and also ev training it properly, but some people really take it quite seriously. I might just be a bit nonchalant to the matter though. I mostly get good natures for the pokemon i like and I that I know I am going to use a lot when I battle. 

So, as for my question, are you that way? Do you care about natures and IVs and all that other extra stuff? Or could you really care less as long as you catch you pokemon? XD I think I am somewhere in the middle when it all comes down to it. What about you? 

Please remember that all vizzed rules apply as always...especially now during the TDV. So no spam or flaming! XD

I am just a neutral gamer. I don't really care about IV's, Evs and Natures. If my Pokemon can beat the gym leader it is fine. Usually I cant be bothered to train anyone else and solo run it. That was almost how I beat my first Pokemon game, I was screwed when I got to the elite 4 with one pokemon at level 70.
When I get my start or catch a pokemon I don't look. My friend said that all of my pokemon are crap because of the nature, IVs and EVs are lower than his pokemon but hey when we battled I still beat him. If you can be tactical without being cheap (like the LV.1 Aron troll) then you should be able to win anyway. 

I don't care at all. I just play the game to catch the Pokémon and complete my Dex as far as I can. The game is easy to beat without IVs, EVs, natures and whatnot.

Only if you want to battle other Pokémon players, it can be very helpful. But I never had so much fun with thinking of strategies and best teams, attacks and stuff like that.

What nature a Pokémon has doesn't really bother me, a few times however I've bred a Pokémon to see what other natures I could get more out of curiosity than anything else. The only thing that I do no matter what is I'm used to tradition Pokémon still, so will only catch Males. -- Not sure if any of you remember that they'd level up, and strengthen quicker than females in the classics. -- Can't seem to get out of the habit. 

I don't really care about nature because it doesn't matter that much. But it can matter sometimes. If this really matters to me a lot, I would put lots of focus and concern into this.

I pretty much just try to catch all the Pokemans in the game and make them as strong as possible besides nature.

I really don't care about those statistics stuff or IVs, EVs, and natures. I think it kills the fun in Pokemon honestly. I just pick whatever Pokemon that I like and make my team based off on them. I am pretty much just a gamer who just wants to have fun playing. Isn't the point of games to have fun and enjoy them? o.O

I do not think too much about my Pokemon's natures or IVs. In fact, I never did. I just battle on normally, staying strong till the very end with what I have.

natures for some pokemon i do care for because i feel like they should have that speciafic one. but usually i don't really care i just catch every single pokemon.

No I don't care about the nature plus it doesn't do something special in battle and I do of course train my pokemon in super training but if I had an eevee I will use calcium, protein.... To make it evolve into umbreon or espeon like that I think it's evs of ivs

greenluigi : Natures aren't supposed to have some sort of special effect in battle, they are mostly for stat purposes and EV training, a good nature benefits the pokemon's stat increase by 10% for example an attack based pokemon like garchomp for example will benefit from an adamant nature because it increases attack and decreases sp attack which isn't something it uses much. The whole point of natures of a pokemon is to benefit its best stat by increasing the total number of EVs it gains in battle. Hopefully that made any sort of sense to you. 

The only time I ever do bother with nature on pokemon, is when it comes to competitive battling. Due to many people breeding for perfect natures, IV's and EV's. I never bother with these IV's and EV's, when I do battle I would only care about a perfect nature for my pokemon such as Pikachu, I would have Timid or Modest! 

Razor-987 :
Natures do not increase EV gain. Natures just affect the stat as a whole, be it a 10% increase or decrease.

I care about Nature on a Pokemon. Its nature increases one stat by 10%, and decreases another by the same amount. If you would normally have 350 attack but have an Adamant nature, your attack would then be 385. It's a pretty significant difference, and can be the difference between scoring a KO or living a hit.

It depends. When it is the main game I pay less attention to nature but if I want to do good in post-game I raise them to their best. With IVs I don't care in main game and I moderately care in post-game except in X where it is easier and I do. With Evs I didn't bother in the main game until X where it is way easier to raise and in post-game I care. So I pretty much care for the those unlike the others here especially in X because it is easier.

epic- san: that is what I meant, it only affects the stat as a whole with a 10% increase, I forgot to include a pokemon that has the evs which your pokemon will benefit off of in EVs. Sorry if that came out rather confusing, but I had left a part of what I had meant to say out which ended up making it rather confusing. 


sedo45 : That is good, I mainly try and focus on them during the game so I can prevail in the elite 4, which in x and y was practically nothing at all. 

Yes, nature is something I always pay attention to. Even if I'm going to train while not caring about EVs, I want to at least make sure I have a good nature. Especially if their moves are going to be all one attack stat, I want to make sure something that won't be a factor isn't getting boosted by its nature.

Well I am more focused on catching em all then competitive. I do not care about natures whatsoever most of the time at least. I just use the pokemon I like because I  am not going to wait for a jolly or whatever chespin. Usually the pokemon I like a really powerful like Bisharp and Garchomp but if I ever do get in to competitive I will most likely use good natures for each pokemon I have and use status effects a lot more than I do right now.

Yes, I always make sure the Pokémon I use have good natures, even if I don't plan on EV training them or using them competitively. One time on FireRed I ran around the Pokémon Mansion in Cinnabar Island until I found an Adamant Grimer. I caught exactly 62 Grimers before I found an adamant one. If that doesn't seem tedious enough, there's only a 5% chance of finding a Grimer on FireRed to begin with.

I really don't care I do my best to train all my Pokémon as evenly as possible. I've been playing since Leaf Green came out but I really don't know what all the stuff is XD    

WalkerLOATS : I don't think 1st/2nd Gen Pokémon necessarily leveled or strengthened faster, female Pokémon just tended to have slightly lower Attack stats. It depends on the F/M ratio of said Pokémon, for example:

Female:Male Gender Ratio          Female Attack DV range
                 
1:7                                                      0-1 (2-15 for males)

1:3                                                      0-4 (5-15 for males)

1:1                                                      0-7 (8-15 for males)

3:1                                                      0-11 (12-15 for males)

All Female/Genderless                  0-15

FYI, 1 DV = 2 stat points; therefore, if you had a level 100 male Eevee with 15 DVs and a level 100 female Eevee with 0 DVs, the male would have 30 more Attack points than the female. This really isn't a big advantage. The female could defeat the male with ease with a good strategy, regardless of the stat disadvantage. And of course, as of the 3rd generation, male Pokémon do not have any stat advantages.
