>>13475279Sure they will be bad by your standards. If they weren't there would be no discussion. But here, I don't mind so take a look.
>>13475681>>13475703Sure that there's that margin in which it matters, but it isn't THAT big. I can easily sacrifice even 11 stat points, and in extreeme cases, like the Alakazam one, even all 31.
>>13475694I never said defensive ones don't need speed. Spd is exception, because priority gives HUGE advantage in turn based games, no matter if it's sweeper, support or anything else. But I still defend the statement that lot of sweepers don't need perfect defensive or Hp IVs.
Dittos flexibility is what makes it more efficient. Both of us know that RNG plays a big role here. Having set of Dittos allows to make fixes any time with any pokemon. Dittos allow you to use potentially good pokemons, which because of RNG lack one thing, but got something else in return, as parents much more easily. It simply shorten eliminates lot of chain breeding.
Also it'd be nice to see how big is that margin in case of loss of ~10 IVs, ~20 IVs and all 31 Ivs. Estimation in % based on the most common situations, pokemons etc. If anyone would be that kind, I'd appreciate calculations.
And yes, it is some kind of enforcement. But you shouldn't be surprised, standarization is normal thing today. Smogon is all about standarization, all kinds of laws etc too. And I doubt that you think that, for example, smogon tiers, traffic regulation or metric system enforcement is bad idea. I believe that increasing "fail margin" for lowering hacking commonness is good deal. In the end it all comes to putting two things on the scales, in this case efficiency and quality.
You act like I was trying to force YOU to drop your standards. The point is to convince hackers to breed at least decent pokemons. Not great or perfect, but just decent, usable. Note that decency has only lower border. You can't be too decent or breed too good pokemon.
