What's /vp/'s opinion on generating mons/PkHex?
I don't have much experience with competitive play nowadays (only really played during gen 4~6) but the subject surfaces every now and then on twitter and it's impressive how many people were vehemently celebrating when people got banned for it when, let's be honest here, catching and training mons from scratch is a huge waste of time and money.
If building a team didn't take dozens of hours and hundreds of dollars in multiple systems and games maybe people would consider not generating mons. It would be even worse if people didn't have access to Showdown to playtest, imagine spending all that time to build a team and having to go through the whole process again, it would be terrible.
