>>16117423I really don't mind IVs but I wouldn't miss them either.
1. Most children don't get to know about them unless they check same level fresh captures, and even then they don't understand why they are like that or that you can breed them, and most importantly they don't really care.
2. Now for older gamers or competitive battlers, they don't want "unique pokémon", they want the best and IVs are just in the way since they don't add much value to stats (5 pts max) but are just there to tell there's better pokémon than the one you have.
3. And they also fail at making pokemon unique where it truly matters, the way you see your pokémon is what decides how you PLAY, and since IVs are invisible they add nothing to it in point 1, and in point 2 it's just annoying.
4. IVs used to also decide the gender and shiny factors but that was asigned to another value which could easily be done to Hidden Power too.
In the end, IVs just seem to be the most pointless mechanic in the game, I don't care that they exist but also wouldn't care if they're gone.
