If it's legal in-game, yeah, I'm okay with it. I've been using an AR to monitor EVs and IVs, and to speed up hatching. I do think I've got what I need though, it's just a matter of EV training and gathering up a few more battle points in game. Plus, I got hooked on the Smogon simulator.
I've actually only just gotten back into the game recently after a few years away. I joined up here, and was recruited to draw for The Smog, so I've been throwing myself into that, and putting that EV training off. I'll eventually have that team ready.
