What if we replaced IVs with actual, noticeable physical characteristics, each carrying their own pros and cons, adding some more depth to breeding competitively as well as casually and also making every mon more actually unique as IVs were originally intended to do, except in a tangible way that doesn't only carry downsides?
Would such a thing even be reasonably possible to cover the entire national dex in a detailed way without too much tweaking for each individual species and not fucking up everything too much?
Please help me develop my shit opinion.

any Game company would be too lazy for that. The reward they'd actually get is minimal compared to the effort and costs it would take to implement this.
Getting rid of IVs though, why not? They are the reason a lot of people (the majority) shy away from battling online. They know they stand zero chance against those who spend their free time injecting or breeding.
Mario Kart also suffers from quickly deteriorating online game. It's probably why video games will always stay "niche". Either spend a lot of time to get good or stay away from online.

It's what I thought, but I want to shitpost about it anyway and daydream about some far away gen that isn't shit.

I mean, it's not like they really do much with all the time they have already in that arena. I would take a slightly lackluster story or whatever else for a single well-executed and ambitious feature that has significant gameplay impacts and also makes things less of a monotonous bore.

But shit, couldn't you have said that for the 3D overhaul or many of the other features in Gen6+? There's a lot of wasted time put into those models already for features that didn't even make it into the game.
