Really? What I understood was when they got to level 100, 4 EVs = 1 stat, no matter when they got the EVs. And how do you prevent them from getting EVs until level 100? The daycare?

What Shedragon means is, until you're a high enough level (generally level 50 or 100), the pokemon does not get max benefits from its EVs. At least...I think that's what Shedragon meant.

Yes that's what I mean, from Lv. 1 to about 55 a pokémon needs 12 EV points for one extra stat point, from Lv. 56 to about 85 it needs 8 points and from 86 to 100 it needs only 4 points.

So as you see, the higher level your pokémon is when you start EV train it the better.

Awesome avatar, Shedragon. That was your poison eeveelution, right?

That... was the most amazing animation thing I have ever seen from pokemon.
But is it just for the games, or is it also possibly a new anime??
My gawd, if it was an anime I would cry with happiness.
But it's not likely...
But then again, those are anime kind of graphics they showed right there.

What I'm saying is it ultimately doesn't matter; the EVs are recalculated after every level up. At least two of the sites I've looked at say so. So at first it might be 12 EVs to a point, but as the levels increase the stats are recalculated so they will eventually be the equivalent of 4 EVs to a point.
So even though it might seem like you aren't getting the maximum benefit if you train at a low level, you actually are because of the way the game handles stats when a Pokemon levels up.

0:34, that's the title text stuff for Black 2 and White 2 so I think it's advertising the games(also, has never appeared in the anime-yet-)and the stuff at the end. I think it's just for the games(also none of the anime-only protagonists were shown
edit: Also, they keep showing pokemon outside their balls following their trainers, maybe they'll bring that back for these games? I loved that feature in HG/SS.
But that looked so awesome!

Yeah is the poison type eevelution I've made.

Edit: I've started on my poison type run, now I just need to get to Sprout Tower and catch a Gastly so it can be the first member of my poison team.

Okay, this may be a stupid question, but judging by the clip, do we get the same starters this time around (Snivy/Oshawott/Tepig) or are they throwing new ones at us?

Woah woah woah, was that the... Shadow Triad I saw?

The same since it not a new generation, we only get new starters for new generations.

It's just a trailer for the game. But if they made an anime like that I would start watching it. *.*
