Um for your information, that
is exactly what happened. So I'm not going to do that, by just letting my nephew play. And not playing my copy until months later.
Unless I'm mistaken (What's the big deal with this Hidden Power move?), there's no real need to breed 'mons a thousand times for the right IVs this time when you can just Hyper Train them to make them viable for PvP.
Hidden Power is like this move that all Pokemon can learn that has its Special Attack type based on the IVs of a Pokemon. Say you have some Mono-Grass Pokemon like Serperior or something that cant really learn shit beyond grass attacks that give it limited coverage against the millions of Talonflames and Mega-Charizard Ys you run into in Battle Spot. You give it Hidden Power and specific IV's so that move turns into a Rock Type to punish typings likely to try to switch in on it (Flying, Ice, Fire, Bug). Hidden Power on a Perfect IV Pokemon is also access to a free Dark move if one wants.
As for Hyper Training, havent tried it yet. But I already got a Gold Bottle Cap through a Treasure Hunt prize in the Festival Plaza. I'm just dreading how the hell I'm going to get one of the new Pokemon to level 100, because alot of them seem really awesome.
Though, I think EV development in S&M is a mixed bag depending on how you put it. There's the usual way (now with SOS). And there's no more stupid RSI inducing mini-game. The new method in being able to develop/queue them passively in Poke Pelago using the internal clock is great (meaning, you can develop them while your 3DS is off) and it can be done in bulks of several Pokemon at a time. But it's a different kind of annoying as it's time gated to a point where they're hard to keep track of. There's only that visual graph instead of transparent values to work with and you're progressing them over the course of several days; so get that spreadsheet out? The worse part is I can say is that I dont think there's a quick way to insta-reset them like the Reset bag or through the Juice Shoppe in X/Y.
