Imagine a Pokemon game with no breeding or any way to control IVs. It'll take far longer for someone to get a "perfect" Pokemon, and as a result (in a perfect world without cheating) every Pokemon would have strengths and weaknesses in their stats. Which, honestly, is how the game is balanced. If you max out everyone's IVs, of course the power gap will be incredibly disproportionate.
Now look at the more recent games where you can get perfect IV Pokemon in 30-40 minutes just by breeding. Or a few seconds if you're using a Pokegen of some kind. The result? Everyone has perfect Pokemon and now endlessly bitch that there's nothing to do in the games.
Breeding and Bike Simulator were a mistake.
