Now with hacking being easily accessible and even working with Let's Go before it released there's no need to care about anything when you can just change values, and there's always that stigma of knowing the team member you just caught has trash IVs, incorrect nature most times, and will never learn egg moves that make it usable. At least I don't have to go to FUCKING GAMESTOP to ask for a small piece of pink paper to unlock on-cart DLC, can edit Platinum to actually play through Battle Revolution, and can use Eternal Floettte for non-multiplayer battles.
