>>31183178Those are some nice advantages but it doesn't really fix the main issue of luck. And I still need to get a perfect IV ditto and 5IV parent which will still be a pain to get unless someone gifts them to me.
I remember in black and white there was some RNG manipulation with the DS clock which allowed you to get perfect IV mon in the wild. You could then use those mon and the same method to get the perfect egg you wanted immediately. No hacking, no mess, just put in what you want, the software told you what time and how many steps, etc. and voila, perfect mon easy. Shiny too if you wanted. I know tech has improved since then and such a thing isn't in later gens, but when people complain I think this is the kind of easy fix they're looking for. An exploit in the game to get what they want immediately (or, like, within an hour or so). This 'swapping' exploit is useful, sure, but, it probably still requires countless hours and hundreds, maybe thousands of eggs. Seriously, what were Game Freak thinking keeping this shit up every gen? People want to play the game, not spend hours HOPING they'll eventually be able to play the game.
Seriously, whoever has the time for this shit, well, I don't know whether to congratulate you on your patience and willpower, or shit all over you for your retardation in wasting so much time over luck, where it's possible that what you want could never happen. You could spend hours buying and checking thousands of lottery tickets and not win a penny. Ask yourself. Is it worth it? You could spend hours breeding and hatching thousands of eggs and not get the mon you want. Ask yourself. Is it worth it?
