IVs in Pokemon Champions
People are blowing my mind in discussions around the removal of IVs in Pokemon Champions.
The fact that it simplifies editing stats is a fair point, they could easily have had "negative stats" on the slider, or just hidden the IVs in an advanced menu to allow people to express skill at an advanced level, mainly around manipulating speed stats, but I can see the thought process of removing them for simplification.
But when I hear people saying "I'm glad IVs are gone, they were an annoying grind". Like bitch, this game has sliders for modifying stats. The only grid would be arbitary VP costs imposed by the devs.
By the way, why do we even have to grind at all? Its so pointless, this is a fucking battle simulator, grind mechanics just discourage experimentation for no reason. They've created a problem that didn't need to exist. All they needed to do was add payed aesthetic customisations and the money would roll in. Who knows, maybe pokemon showdown patented concepts such as "ease of use".
