They are numbers that correspond to HP, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed, and are values that determine the strength of that stat, ranging from 0 to 31. So, if my Snivy had an Attack IV of 0, and my friend's Snivy had an Attack IV of 31, his Snivy would have 31 points more in Attack at level 100 compared to my Snivy. Obviously, the closer your IVs are to 31, the better your Pokemon will be overall, but all IVs are set in stone upon capturing the Pokemon and cannot ever be changed. + Show Spoiler [MinoMino] + + Show Spoiler [Fagtron500] + + Show Spoiler [ixmike322] + + Show Spoiler [SpankBank] + + Show Spoiler [Archas] + I'm astounded at how good ixmike's IVs are for a random wild Pokemon. Those IVs are usually the sort you'd get after extensive breeding to maximize your chance at good IVs. The mustache dog is going to be friggin' amazing. MinoMino's also got pretty damn good IVs where they count. None of the others have any IVs worth writing home about, but none of them are terrible. SpankBank's are probably the worst, though. Is there an IV option in Volt White? I'll admit I didn't actually check. | ||

Having 5(!) stats at 31 is almost impossible for a wild. | ||

plus, the chosen winner had a bunch of lines across his face and body... even the sword. That's just sloppy. | ||

I agree that having 4 perfect IVs on a wild Pokemon is highly unusual, but that's the nature of the RNG. I'll take what I can get at this point anyway, since IVs won't have a very big impact on performance until the later levels. | ||

You can abuse the RNG if you really try, but its an enormous pain in the ass. | ||

Last time, on Nuzlocke Volt White, I had just captured two new allies for my quest to not die. Now I'm on my way to Striaton City to fulfill my secondary goal of getting as far away from my mother as possible before she goes Kill Bill on my ass. Man, not you again. I was hoping you got eaten by a Gyarados or something. Bummer. Better ready your wallet, because I expect you to hand over your dolla billz as soon as I dickstomp your team. Bianca looks like she sorta has a lazy eye, doesn't she? Not exactly the most flattering picture possible... And we start with my Archas dickworm against her pussy. Metaphorically speaking. Let's see how well Archas fares. NOT SO WELL APPARENTLY. Retreat! We'll have to send in SpankBank to take this dude out. Meowth hits pretty hard, and it'll be nice to have a Fighting-type on my side against it. Because I'm stupid, I forgot that Mankey is pretty fragile, so he took a lot of damage switching in. I don't like using a Potion when I don't need to, because money is pretty scarce this early in the game, but Spanker's my best bet for taking the cat down a notch. Low Kick slew the beast, but left SpankBank at low health. Gonna have to switch to mah boy MinoMino. Regrettably, this Oshawott appears highly resistant to tentacle rape despite its innate weakness. Just keep it up, Mino. Suck it, water otter! And gimme my moneh! I don't think anyone has used the phrase "tough cookie" since the Nixon administration. Pretty retro of you. Oh, and you're going to lose a lot. Just so you know. And here I am in Striaton. It's a city, so there's bound to be a lot of garbage around. And where there's garbage, there's sure to be cans to hold it in. First, though, let's go kick the Gym Leaders' collective ass. I sure am, buddy. Now shove it. That's highly irresponsible. You're telling me that a Trainer sanctioned by the official Pokemon League to test the worth of potential Champions is off doing random shit? Should revoke his Gym license IMO. Target acquired, Captain. Crap. I guess it's time to go looking for that wayward Gym Leader so I can smoke his ass. Figuratively. + Show Spoiler [Part 5B] + I guess we know who wears the pants in this relationship, eh? Probably, and that frightens me more than you know. Oh, hey apple-head. I am indeed searching for the one they call Gym Leader. Have you seen Gym Leader anywhere? Bullshit. If he did, he must be invisible. Stop messing with me and just tell me where Gym Leader went. Oh, I see how it is. You won't tell me until I destroy your manhood in a test of skill. Fine by me. I need more cash anyway. Sorry, playing rough is a requirement for MinoMino and SpankBank. Tryhard battle #2! In Volt White, Wing Attack has buffed damage, so even a Starly can't be taken lightly. Flying Pokemon are very scary early in the game because they can do so much damage. I sent in my ace, ixmike, because he can probably take hits better than the other members of my team at this point (three are weak to Flying moves and Fagtron500 is fragile compared to ixmike). My caution was rewarded. Mike took slight damage while annihilating Starly. Fagtron500 is ready to shine, but a formidable hunk of bacon guards the way! I love it when the opponent is a retard and just keeps using Tail Whip until he dies. :3 SUCK IT CHEREN! Oh, Cut! In Volt White, Cut is actually a good move, becoming a Grass type move with 100% accuracy instead of 95. And a lot of Pokemon can learn Cut, so it's a great coverage move early on. Now, who might you be...? Could the old dude with the sunglasses have turned into a callow youth? Survey says yes. Note: This will be the last episode for several days. I'll be on vacation for my birthday soon (!) and will be gone until Friday, so I won't have access to the emulator. Without the emulator, I have no means of updating. Sorry, folks. | ||

I also love how they changed moves to make this more interesting. Cut as a grass move makes so much more sense. Not so sure about that one. You're cutting plants in this game after all (so it's effective against grass), why would you use a grass move for that? Scissors/knifes/blades are made from steel! | ||

Just got an emulator set up, with game saved and loaded. Didn't check if I'm getting experience though... Very different intro, I kinda wish I could get japanese to stop being displayed. I went to the TV in the house at the beginning and got a ton of japanese spewed out. | ||
