Yea, but that level of meticulous thinking on the player's part is not really needed to enjoy the game, which is probably why some people, myself included, don't bother at all with all this EV/IV crap. It's something extra that you don't really need to use to play the game, and personally, I don't see it as something to show respect towards. If you do it, good on you, but I'm not gonna give you more respect just for spending more time fighting certain mons.
