Pokémon XII: Truth of the Ideal Thread

[Nate the Snake]

So what if the Stat Judge, when asked to judge a legendary pokemon, had no idea about it, and asked you to judge it for yourself? Then you supplied the answers, which then changed the IVs of the pokemon you were judging (you could also change its nature and shininess this way). Would that be a thing people would want?

I wouldn't want that (but then I have pet peeves against using legendaries and shinies competitively, so I'm biased).

Customized legendaries and at-will shininess, much less both at once, should not be available in-game. They're supposed to be special because they're so rare, and some legendaries are intended to not be shiny at all.

Also, the Stat Judge's answers are in-character indicators of out-of-character information, so using him as an in-game editing program doesn't make sense. Editing Pokemon is what simulators are for, anyway.
