I can understand IVs/EVs just fine, but with the current 600+ (have we reached that number yet?) pokemons and moves, I simply have NO idea where to start building a team and/or strategies as I'm also assuming it's far different from the old link-cable times where we'd just spam attack moves until the opposite team was down.

If I'd sticked to pokemon throughout the generations, I might just have had the experience needed to go for it. But from my state, I'd take months to learn how to play properly; and I don't have those months =/

Plus now there is 3 on 3 battles. When we had doubles I had strategies like (This is from years ago so I'm not 100% sure what it was) but "Send out Manaphy with (I forgot my other Pokemon name) who would power up in Rain".

Or "use (I forgot this Pokemon too) with fast EVs to use Taunt and force the Pokemon to attack that while Shuckle increases it's defense". I have nothing with a 3rd Pokemon because I never played Black or White. What is this Pokemon online though? I'm tempted to try it. Or do you emulate?
