IT took me A LOT more than a few hours to get a Pokemon with 31 in one stat! After a week and a half and 7 boxes of Seedot eggs, I got my first max 31 Sp Attack Seedot. After all the trouble I couldn't take it and almost cried when I had one w/ 29/31/29 Attack and Speed IVs, I just couldn't take any more Seedot and was so happy when I finally got a Seedot that was actually usable.I have mixed opinions about breeding for IVs. On one hand its really time consuming, mind numbing, and based on total luck. On the other hand, when you are done and have the Pokemon you want, you feel like you accomplished something, and the Pokemon you bred is special and has value. I spent hours breeding for a Feebas in Emerald that was Bold, and had a 31 in HP, Defense, and Special Defense. I finally got one and still have it today, its on my Diamond Cartridge.
I agree that it's really full filling getting a great Pokemon....But 50% of the time that great Pokemon never shows up. After a week of getting Groudon over and over and over again, I was forced to live w/ 28 attack and 26 speed.
It's just really bad that IVs are almost pure luck (something I don't have). I see that they are trying to fix it w/ things like the power items....but.....
I also am not the only one w/ IV difficulties. Using that Seedot (After evolved into Shiftry) on Wi-Fi, I realize it takes hits like a champ besides bad defensive stats, 90 HP, and defensive IVs that don't exceed 21. It's focus sash is rarely used, probably because everyone else has IV difficulties as well.
I'm not saying it's a good thing (It's gotten from interesting to completely pesky how everything get's it), but I don't completely hate ubers having Pressure. Can you imagine Mewtwo/Palkia w/ something better like Adaptability/Tinted Lens? Because most other abilities would makes ubers even more uber.......Well I think they wanted to give all of the Deoxys forms the same ability. But really, Pressure is way too common on legendaries and they really need to do something about it. I really hope the cover legendaries for BW have signature abilities that are worth using. Heck, I'd probably be happy with anything that's not Run Away/Illuminat/etc. or Pressure.
I hate the idea of Noobs firing Roar of Time from 150 Sp Attack, even when it's un-EVd, let alone if Dialga had an ability that actually did something usefull (Pressure isn't completely useless....It just doesn't work on anything that gets it. Not too many Pokemon live long w/ Dialga/Palkia/Weavile on the field. Someone will be KOd before running out of PP. Spiritomb is the only Pokemon who really utalizes it. Being bulky enough to PP stall...Or at least the only Bulky one besides Dialga/Deo-D....But something will be KOd w/ those 2 before Pressure proves it's worth).
I just saw Serebii, and looked into some new Japanese Pokemon episode (2 of my favorite things: Gimmick Pokemon and the color blue, so I couldn't help but look) and 2 Ditto appear in it (Shiny and normal). Apparently...Ditto can remember past battles and transform into Pokemon from those memories. Then I remembered how Ditto could do that in the original comics as well. I think it would be awesome if a mechanic like that was created for Transform: A Pokemon can transform based on memory, as well as what it's facing. Make it so whenever you choose Transform, you have the option of transforming into the enemy, or transforming into a Pokemon the transformer remembers.....Ditto can transform into the enemy T-Tar, or transform into a Gliscor it remembers.
Then maybe make it so that after a while, Ditto will begin to forget, and you can't change the memory until after the ditto forgets 2 of the memories attacks.
It would be handy as Ditto could see light in something like UU, becoming very unpredictable.
