Certain "nature" i.e. calm/timid can raise, lower, even out certain stats.

i.e. adamant nature boosts your "attack" and lowers your "special attack" when training

First off, let me explain how nature values affect pokemon. In the game mechanics of today, a nature value will always give a 10% increase in one stat and a 10% decrease in another stat. If you know of the neutral natures that give no bonus whatsoever, its because one stat is having a 10% increase and a 10% decrease in the same stat. They cancel each other out basically. Natures will give potential bonuses to every stat except for Hit Points.

wow ty!

ilyty

is this game fun if i dont know anything about pokemons

The only reason this version is any good is due to the pvp which kind of requires you to know or learn about pokemons... Other than that you might as well just get an emulator and play single player. That way you enjoy all the content and way less bugs.

best starting pokemon?

bulbasaur is easymode
squirtle is medium
charmander is hardmode
