There are reasons to feel accomplished for genning proper Pokémon.įor me, being able to gen a complete team of legal Pokémon is extremely satisfying when it is all successful. The experience is in the player and how they play the game, and if it is different than how someone else does it, that doesn’t mean it is wrong.Ī huge argument against Genning is that you do not get the satisfaction of having a properly bred Pokémon you made yourself, and therefore do not have that emotional bond to it. Someone can claim that genning is cheating, but it is simply another way of obtaining legal mons. My #BreedingBro ImReuniclus said it best in this post. Statistically speaking, there is no difference between legit bred and legit genned Pokémon. It just takes a long time to do, and again, Genning is simply a faster means to obtain a legal Pokémon. This is not the case, because it is very possible to obtain a 6iv Pokémon Legendary Pokémon in game. People can argue that genning Legendary Pokémon with 6ivs, or the proper hidden powers, is illegal and cheating and therefore hacking.

Genning a legal, proper Pokémon includes knowledge of what moves a Pokémon can get and when, knowing proper EV and IV spreads (Hidden Powers are a thing), and giving them the correct abilities.

Besides time frame at getting the Pokémon, there is absolutely no difference between genning a Pokémon and breeding a Pokémon.
