I bought an r4 and just discovered how easily a pokemon can being injected with PKHeX. Legal shinies, legal event pokemon, clonning. So many hours shiny hunting and breeding perfect pokemon, literally wasted my time.

I mean, it's not like the information wasn't common knowledge for years.

It took you this long to realize how much of a massive waste of time breeding and shiny hunting is?

I once hatched 13,000 eggs for a shitmon shiny and it was 4IV. All you can do is accept you're a retard and try to do less retarded things from now on.

I can understand people grinding out hours on an MMO since the company is in direct control of your characters and collection, but Pokemon is a single-player game that’s easily exploitable and hacked Pokemon are abundant. And a hacker can easily create that shiny 6 IV charmander you worked so hard for. Meanwhile in an MMO, you’d just get banned from playing the game entirely and have all your progress wiped.

You didn't need to buy an r4 for that, D/P's RNG is easily manipulable.

From that perspective, literally everything you do in a video game is a waste of time. People do it for the sense of accomplishment they feel for getting it legit. If that doesn't provide a sense of accomplishment anymore, then find other hobbies

imagine feeling an actual sense of accomplishment over spending several hours or even days grinding for a cheap 30-second dopamine rush that has literally no depth or impact on actual gameplay unless you're a competitive tryhard

No, because the next step is to play online with a team and defeat people. The complaint is that running around in a circle until RNG blesses you is a waste of time and not actually rewarding.

Answer this: do you experience the same level of enjoyment mindlessly resetting for the 1000th time compared to playing any new game for first time?

Not really. There is a huge gap between a turn based rpg with difficulty geared towards children and harder games made for your average "gamer". I don't feel any accomplishment in pokemon outside of competitive, so skipping breeding makes me waste less time and actually do what i enjoy. Yes, it leaves the realm of single player to be fun.

On the other hand finishing Sekiro was enough of an accomplishment on it's own. Even if it's a single player.

In addition, your argument is better suited towards those South Korean MMO's where people grind on the same map for hours and hours, repeating the same attacks to kill the same enemies again and again and again. Then they get that brief dopamine rush when they finally level up. Then they proceed to repeat that same mindless grind for another couple of hours. People feel a sense of accomplishment when they finally level up. Do you feel similarly to those people who grind mobs in cyber cafes for 3 days straight?

Enjoyment is not something objective. You can't say that you get objective enjoyment out of completing Sekiro, but breeding and shiny hunting are objectively unenjoyable.
In essence, all you're saying is the classic
>you're having fun the wrong way!

But doing a repetitive task to get enjoyment later has objectively less enjoyment than doing something that's continually enjoyable.
So you soft-reset for 3 days to get a shiny Treeko, but you have spent those 3 days having fun playing a game like Terraria or Splatoon. Is it wrong of me to say those 3 days of gaming has objectively more enjoyment than the 3 day grind of shiny hunting?

It's impossible to argue this point

He's just pointing out that saying "injecting makes everything meaningless" doesn't really make sense when you can cheat in any game. People enjoy doing things legit. Nobody is saying you shouldn't inject.

I can say eating shit is enjoyable because I said so, you're not me. Therefore, there's no way you can objectively say eating shit is not enjoyable.

Imagine feeling accomplishment over spending several hours a day to get mildly good at beating other people in a children's toy with a battle system where luck is a major factor. That's my point; none of this shit really matters. The fact that some people cheat or think what you're doing is dumb shouldn't invalidate the sense of accomplishment you feel because its something that matters to you
