>>55787940>EVs and IVs are good mechanics from an RPG perspective.they make each pokemon "unique" in a purely nominal sense because players will never know they exist or how to manipulate them unless they're told by someone else or look up a guide, and the process for influencing them is so mind-numbingly tedious that most won't bother. which is a good call because it doesn't matter.
so you have a mechanic that does nothing for casual players and is so frustrating for hardcore players that even at the highest levels you have people genning. that's a shit mechanic if i've ever seen one.
