People hatch eggs because the main appeal of Pokemon for the hardcore fans is to battle.
But we have to endure through all the tedium of autistic breeding and hatching and abilities, etc. Nobody fucking likes that. People just want to get their optimal Pokemon and battle with others.
This is why Pokemon Showdown exists, so people can just battle out with their perfect Pokemon and skipping all the autism of breeding and perfect IVs and muh autism simulator.
But no, they refuse to put any fucking content in the game but the shitty battle tower we all played since almost 2 decades and nothing else. They don't want to bring the Frontier or add new competitive modes because "MUH SMARTPHONE CHILDREN TODAY DON'T CARE [LAUGHS]"
People just want a battle mode like in Stadium, just BATTLE with the Pokemon. Nobody cares about muh "catch 'em all xD"
