I do IVs and EVs. I do them well.

Salamence Specs (for anyone that cares)

Really, IVs and EVs that would be a page. Maybe 1.5 max ... 1 Page on IVs and EVs, 1 Page on Combat, 1 Page on the (various) Manga, 1 Page on the Anime, 1 page on other spin off (TCG, etc., etc.) ... I could write a Doctoral Thesis on IVs and EVs, but it'd be very boring. Let me rephrase what I said earlier. Hard, factual essays are easy. Soft, opinionated ones are not. And the American system, for some reason or another, places more emphasis on "soft" essays earlier along.

Page 1 and 2, explaining EV and IV, what they are, how they work, how you raise them, explain what each represents and how they are raised, all of course heavily simplified, it's a soft essay after all. Page 3 and 4, talk about the nature vs. nurture debate on real psychology. Page 5, 6 and 7, make a parallelism between both, EV/IV and Nurture/Nature, and explain the philosophical and psychological transcendence of what seems like a child's game.

Also, wouldn't, 251, 251, 4, have been better, or 248, 248, 8?
