>>>/out/My story as a breeder is suffering, since I'm not very good. It is a long and boring one filled with frustration and hopelessness, and I won't bore you.
I can't make a real stand on 6iv dittos or genned parents. Most of the time I use them; while a part of me feels some kind of way about it, I also want to give out more pokemon to people, ones that they will use to fight, or breed with to form their own powerful teams, or beautifully aesthetic shiny pokemon. For me, this outweighs the cost, usually. I am a bit more relaxed on the morals in pokemon now.
I still breed without dittos or anything genned from time to time, to remind myself what it was like when I was truly awful and try to keep myself humble because I have a terrible issue with pride.
I'm glad you think this is a lovely thread (in theory). It's my favorite on /vp/; I've met many wonderful and interesting people, had a ton of laughs, came on here when my day at work was so miserable and terrible and escaped from the world until my so would come home.
I do not know, however, how to help you. I'm at a loss, and have been trying since you posted. This thread is full of what you say, you're not wrong. But no one means any harm or ill will from it. It is a game, and we all come together to have fun.
I'm sorry you've been put off from this place and hidden yourself. Too many people have disappeared from here without a trace, without a final goodbye, and it makes me sad. I love all my friends here, I grow attached to people too easily I guess.
Whoever you are, you're always welcome to return, at least by me. And if you ever wish, I would gladly take on a breeding project for you and give them away here, bred legit, on my honor.
