Your Friendly Neighborhood S***poster
The library isn't open yet.
Gah! Why did I inherited my grandfather's eyes? My vision is not the problem here, it is in fact my eyelashes. My eyelashes ate probably some of the longest that one might see in their lives. Now I'm not into glamour and whatnot but apparently ladies like to emphasis their eyelashes. While I don't mind if you guys do this or not, I'm just rather worried about those that do. Aren't you worried that they might poke your eyes. That's what mine do all the time. I have pluck a good 3-5 lashes every week and the worst part about it is that in a week they come back, sometimes longer than before!
Every goddamn week this image shows up on Facebook. Competitive players (such as myself) mention that we play casually in the storyline but do intensive training for competitive modes and hot damn is there the biggest ****ing ****storm ever. Then genwunners invariably whine about the fact that IVs and EVs exist, but seem to forget that they existed in Gen one! Then people complain that they "tried" the training but still lost. There are usually 2 reasons:
- Training was done wrong
- Their strategy was just garbage
But no, us competitive players are "ruining the spirit of the game!" according to that crowd. Simple solution. If you don't like that, don't do online battles, and if you do, don't get shocked when you get annihilated. You wouldn't blame a chess grandmaster if you didn't know how to play.

I agree with most of this except the online battle thing. That is the only fun thing I have to do in that game after I beat it, and people being really competitive annoys me. I just wanna be able to have fun with real people. I don't mind people online battling competitivly, I just wish they would make their message "Competitive Battler" or something so that people like me don't try to battle them. The only reason I say this is because it interfers with the way I try to play, and by saying "If you don't like it don't online battle" you are kinda telling us to go and find something else to do. I'm not saying that's what you were trying to say, I'm just saying that's what I took from it.
Kind of silly that you'd ask for that, because they're doing exactly what you are--trying to enjoy the game post-E4--, just in a different way. How about you make your message 'Casual Battler'?
Because Competitive battlers aren't going to challenge me anyway.
I hatched an entire box of Froakies and none of them are Modest ;-;

Squirtle is Modest.Everstone is your friend.
Do you have a modest pokemon in egg group water 1?. Give it an everstone and breed it with a Froakie. If not, do you have any modest breedable pokemon? If so, you should be able to do a few selective breedings and get the nature onto a mon in egg group water 1 (someone here can help you connect the dots).
Is it a little work? Yeah. But cosider that you're spending 15-20 minutes doing something you know will work instead of mindlessly riding back and forth on a bike waiting for that 4% probability that the random froakie is coming out modest.
