>>27257634We don't even know what the mechanics behind this shit are.
We know you trade Bottle Caps to some guy to increase the IV. That's it.
What if it's only +1 IV? If you have a Pokemon with 20/20/20/20/20/20 IVs, that's 66 Bottle Caps you need to collect to help max it out.
What if the time it takes to get 66 Bottle Caps is equivalent to breeding with a 6IV Pokemon over and over and over until it's perfect?
Instead of being autism-bike-simulator (which, I don't think you ACTUALLY enjoy), it's now "go collect these items around the world to be entertained while getting to the ultimate end-goal of creating your perfect Pokemon".
As you said, it's the feeling of creating something that makes it rewarding. Why not do it in a way that's a little more interactive?
