This important to Pokemon development, because Flavor preferences usually influence the effectiveness of the food. For example, a Pokéblock that has a spicy flavor will raise a Pokémon's Cool condition. In generations 3, 4, and 8, Natures determine a Pokemon's preference in flavors when tasting Pokeblocks, Poffins, and Curry. Serious players know that flavor is important to Pokemon, even if they aren't all designed with food in mind. Players need to also be aware that the Natures Hardy, Docile, Serious, Bashful, and Quirky do not change a Pokemon's stats in any way.

Red means the stat is increased, while blue means the stat is decreased. In every game from HeartGold and SoulSilver onwards, the player can determine the affected stats by the text color of the stat's name. The exception to this is a Pokemon with a neutral Nature, in which case neither will happen. A Pokemon's Nature will boost one stat by 10% and decrease another by 10%. In fact, they can be a huge contributor to a player's success or failure. Stat changes are not a small consideration in the games.
