hmm, does the nature reli affect the pokemon?
Yep, they surely affect! For each nature, except Docile, Hardy, Quircky and Serious, they will add 10% boost for 1 stat and decrease 10% for 1 stat.
For example, I have a Palkia with Modest nature with max lv 100. Assume that it's S.ATK IV is 31 (max) and the EV is 255 (max). To compare, I also have another Palkia with Careful nature, with the same IV and EV as the previous Pakia.
As we all know, Modest will add 10% boost for S.ATK value and decrease 10% for ATK value whilst Careful nature will add 10% boost for S.DEF and decrease 10% for S.ATK value.
In the end, Palkia A will have 438 for it's S.ATK while Palkia B will only have 399 for it's S.ATK (see the big differences?). In same case, the S.DEF for Palkia A will be less than Palkia B as the Careful nature that Palkia B owns.
However, the chances for getting a 31 IV for one stat for one pokemon is very rare. It'll certainly become rarer if you wish for max IV for each stat of a pokemon.

nature growth really depends on your game style
if you are a defensive type then take those on high def and special def growth
and vice versa if you are a attacking type
nice thing about this game that they categorize attack types now
gyarados isnt as useless as it use to beIn contrary, Gyarados still sucks for it's low SPD, despite it's high ATK value. Unless you use Trick Room, Gyarados will be KO'ed with any Grass/Lighting type Pokemon just as easy as snap.
Btw, I noticed that you mentioned "nice thing about this game that they categorize attack types now". Nice thing eh? I can't seem to know why? Differences between Physical move and S.moves should be quite obvious.
