>>18009576Breeding was a nice concept. Being able to get more pokemon of the same species you only get 1 time in the game(starters, eevee) was nice. It was also nice as an alternative to catching already caught pokemon.
It already went bad with egg moves which forced breeding upon you and then it only got worse and worse with every gen.
Even hidden abilities tell you to rush trough the game until you can use friend safari.
The only way to get around this, is to have friend that already finish the game, have them create the pokemon you want with the right abilities egg moves.
But simply playing the game, exploring it with pokemon you like caught in the wild while exploring and after beating the E4 pitting them against other players has been killed by GF.
