>>54752948in practice you aren't doing any multiplayer anymore in gens 1-5, and no pokemon aren't as mobile between regions. those are in fact completely legitimate factors. disingenuous argument.
>Do you understand how the changes to breeding would compound into making a Muk with multiple perfect IVs, the right Nature, and potentially Egg Moves a miserable experience?egg movies no, but I have two pokemon with perfect IVs and it wasn't that bad, though it cost me around 3-500k ea in breeding held items and buying mons with specific stats to supplement what I caught. and now instead of being trapped in a cartridge with no reasonable multiplayer and no endgame, I get to use them for a lot of awesome things. one is a breloom designed for wild pokemon catching and it's been invaluable.
>where I don't even get to keep the parents and hand them to other people?as if you actually do this. pokemmo has 1000x the multiplayer as playing vanilla gen 1-5 does in 2023. you're way more likely to hand off a pokemon you bred in this game than in vanilla, and you know it. I've even done it myself, I've bred multiple mons for friends.
>gen 7irrelevant. just disingenuous arguments at this point. you should try the game, you might be pleasantly surprised.
