Top Ten Most Confusing Things About the Competitive Pokemon Scene

The Top Ten

1 EV's and IV's

How to play Pokemon Red/Blue/Crap/Poo and every other Nintendo game - Just find 6 random Pokemon and use random moves and win.

How to play Pokemon Showdown - Understand game mechanics, Organize a powerful team to defeat any Pokemon with synergy, and come up with good strategies and battle tactics.

I actually don't care one bit about these. I know EV's are Defense, Special Defense, Attack, Special Attack, and Speed (not trying to brag but my Y team has all of theirs maxed out). As for IV's? I have no clue what those are.
