İf everything can be choosed,why are we not playing showdown but pwo?
This is the problem game developers have to face. The original games solved all the problems by not being MMO. They have BREEDING which allows those of us who are knowledgeable enough and who work hard enough to get 31+ on 4+ stats while getting the natures and abilities we want.
The official games have mechanics that allow players to customize their pokemon any way we want. But this is a MMO, so if breeding was introduced then everyone would have complete sets of all the T5s since everyone would breed them until they were the most common pokemon on the servers.
Customizing pokemon who we want is a part of the official games, and thus should be implemented in some way here. The question is how to do so in MMO form? If we are not allowed to breed then 99% of what we can do to customize our pokemon is gone.
Right now we can only pass 10% of the breedable moves between already existing pokemon. We cannot pass IVs like normal breeding, we cannot pass natures like normal breeding, we cannot pass abilities, or gender. Only those 10% of breedable moves, which necessitates catching new pokemon all the time, which is an extremely unreliable method of procuring new IVs, let alone natures and abilities too.
So it goes back to the question of how do you bring customizing pokemon to a MMO based game without ruining it?
Which eventually leads us to asking questions about how to get high quality pokemon onto the market, which is a demand that should not be surprising in the least.
