>>11753330>That's the point.The current system is random.You're just throwing the baby away with the dirt water - IV mechanics CAN be fun, as long as the player feels rewarded. And cutting the grind can be done in other ways, too.
Now, imagine what if all IVs were inherited from the parents, in one or another way, and there was no randomness - with smart breeding, you can get a perfect Pokémon in, like, 10 generations? The mechanic is still there, and we would still feel rewarded after getting said perfect Pokémon.
