>>44663493IV's should be repurposed or outright removed.
Though it was added in a different time, it's a failed attempt at giving each pokemon uniqueness, instead ending up only making competitive unviable to anyone not suffereing severe autism. It's an invisible stat purposfully made obtuse for players to check on. It serves to make some pokemon performing slightly better in the single player campain but the vast majority of people won't notice this or even care. There are better ways to make each pokemon feel unique. Like having their behaviour in the overworld/amie, battles, cooking mama minigames etc. reflect their given nature.
Natures shouldn't really affect the battle outcome either, like with IV's it only serves to lock competitive behind a trite and needless grind without much else to offer the pokemon in uniqness beyond battle performance most people won't notice or care about.
If you do like grinding there are multitudes of jrpg's that offer just that. With that said even the grinding aspect of pokemon could be rewarded with alternative shiny forms or any cosmetic bullcrap you could think about that give players their participation award without affecting competitive.
