>>53645272So you admit Natures, IVs, abiliries, etc are literally a non-issue except for your own dumb sperg rule?
Abilities for a lot of pokemon is a 50% chance they have the "wrong one". Natures on wild pokemon are fucking annoying, especially in the early game. that weedle you can 1hko with tackle in viridian forest no problem in RBY? sorry, youre poisoned now, you need to backtrack to viridian. for frlg, you end up getting pushed into using special sweepers moreso than physical just to avoid the fucking tedium of condition-on-contact abilities
Natures basically introduces something like a better than 50% chance that the pokemon you catch is going to have a -10% to one of the stats you want. it's particularly grating when it's -speed, and you'll have no idea since the games don't spell out what natures do what - so you might get a false impression a pokemon is slow and useless, rather than a good pokemon saddled with a shit ability
Gen 3+ IVs are literally twice as bad as the old IV system
EVs are the most autistic way to replace the stat EXP system possible.
there's a reason PLA is the only fun pokemon game on the switch
