When my interest in the Pokemon series sharply rose in 2004, I became aware of competitive battling. As first I passed it off, though as I noticed that it was a part of the game that kept me from completing it, I began to take interest. I still have not grasped it completely as I have not yet gotten the trainer card star in the Battle Tower. Although Smogon has helped me improve slowly over time and understand how important things such IV's, EV's, Natures, and items matter.
