Agreed. IVs should be a single integer bound to all stats that maxes itself out with affection to make Amie actually matter.
>>44832557Fuck off. bottle caps and shit are more immersion breaking than anything. There are plenty of other things GF can do to differentiate Pokes like the marks for special animations that can't be changed and are purely cosmetic. There's no reason to make Pokemon essentially useless based on a mechanic that has no semblance or reason for being in the games in the first place. Make slightly different animations depending on the nature, make the textures change depending on the nickname like the stadium games, do SOMETHING that isn't fucking retarded and only acts as a cosmetic indicator that your Pokemon is special and not something that only hyper competitive autists care about anyway.
>b-b-but Pokemon should be strong or weak!So? If the theme of the games is that your bond with Pokemon makes them stronger, all the more reason why Amie/Camp should affect IVs and not give bullshit bonuses. While the personality of the Pokemon determines other shit.
