::Read Blazios's post again more carefully. I think it's extremely clear that Nintendo's "base stats" are what we once called EVs. Summary page stats do not max out at 252 and do not translate in a 4-to-1 ratio to an increase to the relevant stat at level 100, but EVs (and what Nintendo is calling base stats) absolutely do. That's just the tip of the iceburg; literally everything he said describes what we called EVs in great detail and has virtually nothing to do with summary page stats.

:::Does anybody else have any opinions or objections to this?

::::My scanner's not working right now, but the guidebook proves without a doubt that EVs are officially called "base stats" on page 373. There's a graphic showing that "Your Pokémon's stats" being composed of "The strengths of its species", "The strengths of the individual", and "Its base stats for each stat". Note that this is also in the Super Training section of the book. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 09:45, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
