>>49513920Agreed. IVs and natures have always been cancer that ruin the spirit of the game. I’m not opposed to compshit, but it has gotten extremely convoluted since Gen 6. It’s basically Yu-Gi-Oh now with all the field abilities and minmaxed stats on new mons. Competitive should be contained in a free-to-play app that lets you edit your team at will like Showdown. That way it’s more pickup and play. Certain things like hold items or legendaries can be locked behind progression. GF can sell a battle pass that has trainer cosmetics, ball seals, shiny Pokémon, etc. Just handle competitive like every other online game does now, and cut all the bloat out of single player so we can have more curated games like PLA.
