In a game with only so much to do, I spent a lot of time breeding. Found it to be one of my favorite things to do. That's why people like I, are upset. Because now, there really isn't a point. A lot of people will rage or quit, and that's their choice, and they're entitled to their opinion. As you are yours. But let them share it as they wish.
It wasn't about shines or yen, for me at least. People needed good comps, I enjoyed making them. I'm not competitive by nature, I am business oriented.
It will greatly disadvantage someone who wasn't able to obtain nice IV pokes before the breeding change, discouraging any real competitive community growth. People can pretend it won't have a negative impact on the game, but it will. I'm not saying breeding shouldn't have been changed, it really needed to be, long ago. But at this point, this move is a bad option IMO.
As someone who spent tens of millions on breeders, yeah I'm not super happy about that, but 90% of the "rage" comes out of the fact that the one part of the game that could actually keep my attention anymore, is gone.
It is a shame, because I really did enjoy this game for awhile. But oh well, it is only a game. Can't make everyone happy.
