>>36931103>giving yourself the reward instantlyWhy bother playing the game at that rate? Might as well just give yourself all items/all pokemons etc.
I believe scarcity and effort creates value and people have to know their limits and find their place in the world/ranks. I was always creating my breeding farms in pokemon from scratch, catching shittons of dittos and checking their stats to see if they have at least one 31 or 30 EV, breeding everything manually, but at the same time I wasn't looking for perfect pokemons because chance was too small to bother. I was usually getting desired sex, egg moves, ability and 2-4 perfect stats in the most important areas for that pokemon. I bred for HP manually as well so for example my Jolteon lacks couple power points on his. I can say I'm proud of this as I've actually put a bit effort to designing breeding sequence to maximize chances of getting desired outcome, spent my time to bike with eggs and check their stats. I can say they're authentic. It's like wanting authentic item that belonged to someone important to you over the same item that didn't belong to that person, or exact chinese copy.
Games are fun because they are artificial problems to solve. Satisfaction comes from solving and achieving things yourself. That's why themepark games where everything is handed to you get boring so fast.
