>>31183510Shines won't make or break a mon. Those hidden stats will. They are two totally different ballparks. Let the fanatics keep shinies, but IVs are garbage.
>>31183075I look at EVs sort of how the training in Digimon worked only instead of risking getting a numemon you just risk having to retrain all over again because you decided a magcargo really needed speed for some reason.
EVs I can handle as anyone can do those with time and dilligence. The IVs need to go, however. It's to the point literally everyone in tournaments cheats to get perfect IVS either directly with injection or indirectly with breeding hacked mons. When something is so tedious that people just say "fuck it, I'll cheat!" that's a sign it's bad.
