>>29315877>>29315939Same anon here, i respect yours and ops point of view, i used to share the same view. I guess you have a point, i cant actually see how it affects the meta other than deluding it with false expectations and confusing it to a point that battles just become a game of random chance. But.
So you know I completed my dex by catching and hatching and taking legal event mons from nintendo. Or else it takes the fun out of main game completion.
I plan to do the same in moon.
I dont take hacks unless i have that mon already legally
I dont use a modded ds and i purchase the games i play on it, because i enjoy the games and want them to make more
But at the end of the day, i know if i follow the "purity pokemon" route through and through i wont have gained anything of value.
It's a deadbeat life to invest so much into a digital rarity meant mostly for children, its a huge waste of time, and the worst part is its just data that is waiting to be lost/corrupted, the information on a cartridge can't last forever and many who collect shiny/competitive/pokemon with sentimental value, will experience what its like to delete 999+ hours out of their existence and render those hours completely meaningless when they lose their pokemon for any number of reasons. save file corruption/stolen cartridge/broken cartridge etc. Ive seen it happen to anons here, ive seen it happen to a friend and i had a similar experience where i lost my original mawile who had alot of sentimental value to me, who i nicknamed, adventured with, battled with etc.
"Purity" pokemon is a game of russian roullete its only a matter of time, before you lose all you worked for.
