Balltism is a terrible disease.
When your favourite pokemon is genderless you have to choose between catching it in the wild in your preferred ball but getting it with shit IVs, if you breed it you can control the IVs but you can't pass down balls.
The mechanic of having to make your pokemon hold items to pass down certain things is inherently broken, by the way, but that's a rant for another thread.
