>>54584491Reading takes way more effort that western VGC players are willing to put in. I've heard people bring up the idea of 0IV bottlecaps only to get shot down because "no, anything short of actually generating a pokemon like on showdown is way too much effort and time investment", ignoring how many fucking hours fighting game players put into labing their characters to get everything frame perfect, shit pokemon players do not have to do since they're playing a fucking turn based baby game.
Of course I'm a weirdo who actually enjoyed breeding and the process of raising up a team (which I'd only ever used in the battle tower or whatever), and I have gotten royally fucked now that breeding was made somehow more awful, and you're just supposed to mint and bottlecap your pokemon to use online (there is now tower).
