Got bored. I like data and numbers, so have some data and numbers.
Current system, 0-31, ignore 32 for now cause I forgot:
1/4096 = an all 31 IV common "old" shiny.
1/1,000,000 = an all 31 IV common "new" IV shiny
1/244,140,625 = a 25+ IV common non-shiny
1/2,441,406,250,000 = a 25+ IV HR non-shiny
With Natures/Attributes found in the wild:
1/66,562,776,075 = chance to find the perfect COMMON pokemon. This accounts for IVs, Natures, and Attributes. This means if there is nothing but Dragonite on the map, and they appear every few seconds, that would be your chance to find a perfect common Dragonite.
If it's one of the "new" shinies, that chance becomes 1/4,800,000,000, assuming every common is an for some reason.
Overall:
If old players were given the chance to choose their attribute and were randomly given a non-neutral nature, the chances for that perfect Pokemon would drop to near 1/20 due to the amount of near-perfect IV shinies already ingame. The newbies would get a 1/66,562,776,075 chance or, if magically always shiny, 1/4,800,000,000.
So simply said, there's no way that picking your own natures AND abilities would work for the future of the game. That gives older players a 90-100% chance for something perfect. Many of us old players had odds of 1/4,096 to begin with, so its not like we don't have the advantage to start with.
