Why do IVs still exist if everyone is going to breed/hack perfect ones anyway?

They're an easy mechanic that can be copy & pasted every time and GF is too lazy to change how Confusion/Foul Play damage and HPs work.

Because at the end of the day it add variety to each species of pokemon and overall, its still children and casuals that make up the vast majority of their market.

Removing/alterting such a deep baked concept, especially with the fact that removing or changing it would probably negate the ability to trade old bred pokemon to new games, would take out a giant cut of their userbase on the transition out of grumpy rage.

Basically it doesnt make sense to remove to anyone except for a small subsection of the people that actually give them money.

Also git gud

G/S/C added Special Defense, and there was no required block from R/B.

IV's is one simple mechanic that can easily be adjusted through the transfer. It's not something GameFreak would be afraid of doing. Raichu and Scolipede, for example, had their stats changed in X/Y. Does that mean we have to block transfers?

As for "muh uniqueness", I'm sure that GameFreak could come up with other non-game-changing ways to make each one feel different from the rest.

Oh wait, they're stagnating their creativity with megas.

not if they still make a good game

also i would rather catching a pokemon and then having to the possibility to "upgrade" its IVs later in the game rather than having to breed for at least an hour to get and hope to get a good one,after having to suck someone's cock before getting pokemon with good IVs or a 6-5 IV ditto of course, that would be a much more clever game design and would make the games much more anjoyable

You know what i'd love? Personality mechanic from dragon quest monsters.

Each nature changes the mannerisms, stat growth, and overall demeanor of a pokemon, and can change naturally either based on training, how you use it in battle, or the natures of the pokemon around it over time.

Children/casuals don't know shit about IVs. They barely pay attention to the numbers on the stats screen, why would they care about invisible stats?

If you removed IVs next-gen the majority of people wouldn't even notice. The only people who care are the autists who breed 6IV Pokemon and then dump them in a PC box.
