Hacking/Genning Pokémon in feels pretty soulless honestly... getting everything naturally feels like the right thing to do... Look, they are just "data" but it ruins the spirit of the game, I want to feel proud of the Pokémon I caught and trained, but that's just what I think

I'm not a VGC player so I'm not worried about competitive, I know there's no real advantage when it comes to battling but it does save time and you get more time to get the team you want

all-in-all Pokémon never really did much to prevent hacking so its always been pushed aside as not an issue, look if you hack I don't really care but just know maybe you could have more enjoyment out of the games if you did everything naturally, but hey, you do you I guess
