Effort values: Difference between revisions
Undo revision 3954563 by Indigo Mertens (talk) upon examination, this does not seem to be specific enough in usage, in a 1-to-1 way, to represent the same thing as base points (but rather just what the word means, i.e. "working hard to achieve sth") https://abcboy101.github.io/poke-corpus/#query=effort&caseInsensitive=true&common=true&script=true
(Pokemon games with Ribbon systems refer to EVs as "effort," with the Effort Ribbon and NPCs who give out said Ribbon call them "effort." So both "base points," which are used in the Vitamin descriptions, and "effort," are used in game.) Tags: Mobile edit Mobile web edit |

'''Base points | '''Base points''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|基礎|きそ}}ポイント}}''' ''base points''), commonly referred to by fans as '''effort values''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|努力値|どりょくち}}}}''' ''effort values'') and abbreviated as '''EVs''', are values that contribute to an individual Pokémon's [[stat]]s in the [[core series|core]] and [[side series]] [[Pokémon games]]. They are primarily obtained by defeating Pokémon in battle, based on the Pokémon that was defeated. From {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} to {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, EVs were also officially referred to as '''base stats''' in English (distinct from what fans refer to as [[base stats]], which are instead the stat-affecting values intrinsic to the Pokémon's species). | ||
In the [[Generation]] {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}} games, due to the effort value system being entirely different to later games, they are commonly referred to by fans as '''stat experience''' in the context of these games. | In the [[Generation]] {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}} games, due to the effort value system being entirely different to later games, they are commonly referred to by fans as '''stat experience''' in the context of these games. | ||
