with comps as easy to get/make as they are now, people just want flat out better rewards, this game ahs moved from pokemon bein rare/unique/valuable
to common/expected/and lower values than ever before,
so the game is now based in comp play/ winning a tournament then expecting something rare/unique /significant to the person, money being arguably easy to attain that isnt much reward,, comp pokes not much reward cuz odds are ya have one or w.e that pokes moveset covers lol, n that leaves shiny rewards . its unique/rare/ maybe even comp.. and then some rp. basically same thing as cash..
while some are content with simply player vs player and the win is all they need, others want to be rewarded with compensation for the time/work/predictions/ w.e
but as long as pokemon are considered tools, like they are now,, instead ofa unique poke, there isnt much ya can offer beside more /bulk
eventually the shinies too will be so decreased...
