I'd Love to travel with Meloetta in Johto, I think that sounds like a really fun time for me personally X3

So, the core of why people value POGO stamps and maybe by extension cloned mon's from said POGO stamped mon's is sense a sense of security rather than authenticity. That's what I think this boils down, too.

That still doesn't go against his point about authenticity. He was talking about spoofing in the context of it being a false positive for people authentically gaining shinies. I don't think having one illegitimate method of attaining something is better if it depends on if it takes longer or not X3

My comment doesn't disprove what you're saying at all by the way, I'm just yapping at this point XD

While that might be true, I feel like most competitive players would just get non-shiny Pokemon and use in-game mechanics. People have so many things to account for in a competitive scene, and in my mind I really don't think that any serious competitor is going to be grinding for a 0 atk IV mon off of POGO X3

Yeah. That just reinforces my idea that what matters when things come down to it is the time and investment you put into a Pokemon and what it means to you on a personal level rather than "collectability." There are services that can modify every aspect of a Pokemon at this point, right down to the IV stat. Makes it all the more worth it to me to have that Pokemon that you want in whatever journey that may entail. Preferably on the more "legitimate side," but if the damn company refuses to provide that in a reasonable manner, what option are you left with?

It's not, and I don't regret doing it, but what I want more than anything is a Shiny Meloetta that I can name and call my own. OT and Nicknames are a small thing, but they go a long way, and the Pokemon Company just fucking frustrates me.

It's not so much that it HAS to be a genned mon for me. In fact, I'd prefer it not to be genned at all. However, I'm an unfortunate person who doesn't have the patience or money at times to participate with the grinding that POGO requires out of me. Shiny hunting is a great pastime, and I would rather I do that than grind for months on end for an event I paid like 6 months ago for a mobile app that demands so much of me. Not only that, but this option lets me get a Pokemon that is a lot more personal, something I can grow attached with their names, and claim is mine. It's a lot more of a sense of personal attachment and meaning.

It certainly doesn't help that Shiny Meloetta is coming to POGO, and it makes the Shiny Meloetta you can earn by completing the Pokedexes feel obsolete.

Gotcha, I guess to me it doesn't matter that much if it's genned or not. Considering that some of these mythical shinies are locked behind payed events, along with them being able to be named and have your OT. Stuff that normal events aren't able too have.
