The 510 EV limit ruined pokemon's balance. It single-handedly destroyed the concept of mixed attackers and enabled lame play styles by empowering dedicated walls and hyper offense teams. They need to allow maxing EVs in all 6 stats again.
Maxing out every stat is worse. It just turns training into tedious busywork.
>>59164733In Pokemon showdown it’s just a slider
>>59164592Nah they just need to remove the phys/spec split
>>59164738It's still boring, because there is never a good reason to not max out every stat. EVs aren't perfect, but they're much better because they allow for actual customization in sets.
>>59164743Trick room thoughbeit
>>59164743Trick room, foul play, confusion
>>59164743>"customization">99% of EV spreads are just maxed out offensive stat + speed or maxed out hp + defensive statLmao so creative
>>59164769Old Pokemon games didn't have EV yields, you'd get a little bit into every stat. The most you could do is pump 10 vitamins into every stat but the ones you didn't want to max out.>>59164781And 100% of stat exp sets were maxed out. The gens 1 and 2 damage calc doesn't even let you lower them because there is never an instance where you'd do it.
That's why PLA is still the best pokemon game.
