I was about to make a thread suggesting that all legendaries should have 5 or 6 perfect IVs, because you know, they're fucking legendary. Then I realized this isn't possible because it would block them from certain Hidden Powers, and things like needing 0 Attack or 0 Speed

Why is the IV system so shit?

IV's really do accomplish nothing for the game.
I feel you, anon.

Destiny Knot makes it very east to breed a 5 IV in 15 minutes.

Legends already have great IVs by default, that in combination with the synch trick make soft-resetting really really easy.

Here's a solution though: If you don't like putting in a very minimal effort towards raising and breeding, then just play on a sim, where you don't have to put in any.

The IV system isn't shit, you're just a lazy obese faggot who will always complain if the fun isn't directly spoonfed to you.

Yeah, they should just ditch IVs and make Hidden Power a secondary random thing like natures but can be controlled via breeding with Arceus plates or something. Also tell me or hint at what hidden power it has in the characteristic window so I don't have to go to the checker every time.

Which is moot when most Pokemon need 6 specific IVs to be the best

not if you want really good IVs. It'll take a lot of soft resets if you want perfect IVs.

>Here's a solution though: If you don't like putting in a very minimal effort towards raising and breeding, then just play on a sim, where you don't have to put in any.

Video games shouldn't require chores to get into the competitive scene. IV breeding is as boring and unengaging as shit

>The IV system isn't shit
Actually, it is shit. :)

>you're just a lazy obese faggot who will always complain if the fun isn't directly spoonfed to you.
Wait, what? What's wrong with WANTING fun spoonfed to you on a fucking medium meant for fun?

I'm not even OP btw ;)

I do play sims and have spent countless hours breeding for VGC and pre-bank Battle Spot, the system is still complete garbage until Hidden Power is fixed at least

And legends are definitely not "easy" to soft reset for, 3 IVs isn't enough

I don't think you know the real problem.

The problem with IV is because it's only require minimal amount of effort with almost no input from the player. It doesn't challenge player mentally or physically and did not even require player to be engage with the game.

Which means it's a boring feature. Since it's so easy to get 5 IV pokemon anyway, the current breeding system only serve as a time gate (boring as hell and been avoid like plague in most modern game).

Boring feature that serve no purpose in-game should be cut. It's as simple as that.

Speaking of which, I just hatched a batch of 30 honedges and all of them had the same one IV to 31, one that belonged to the holder of the destiny knot.

I have a total of 4 stats with 31IV between mother and father, am I just incredibly fucking unlucky or does the destiny knot just pass down the statistics from the holder, not both parents?

Actually, 6IV is only better if you're running a mixed set. 5IV is better in every other situation.

Hidden Power is what's shit, not IVs. They just need to run Hidden Power off of a different mechanic.

Special attackers still need 0 Attack specifically to be perfect

Enjoy your non 0 attack IV on special attackers and taking more confusion/foul play damage :^)

He said 6 specific IVs, not 6 perfect IVs. You want 0 Attack on specially oriented Pokémon in case of confusion or Foul Play.

That was my bad, I read "perfect" for some reason. Well aware of requiring 0 attack IV on special attackers.

Extra 3 damage with foul play and confusion is negligible, seeing as how rare both are now that swagplay is banned.

>not if you want really good IVs. It'll take a lot of soft resets if you want perfect IVs.
I HAVE TO PUT IN A LOT OF EFFORT TO GET PERFECTION IN A VIDEOGAME. WOE IS ME.

>Video games shouldn't require chores to get into the competitive scene. IV breeding is as boring and unengaging as shit
That's why sims exist ;)

>Actually, it is shit. :)
Actually it's okay, it's not perfect but it's as easy as breeding sim can be. :^)

>Wait, what? What's wrong with WANTING fun spoonfed to you on a fucking medium meant for fun?
Congrats on being a fucking idiot. Spoonfeeding defeats the purpose of having the game in the first place.

PLAY ON A SIM IF YOU WANT THIS SHIT. Cartridge play is a breeding simulator, deal with it.
