I actually hadn't done any competitive stuff that wasn't on Showdown since Gen 5 so that's kind of accurate.

I know the literal fucking hundreds of hours I put in on Gen 5 to get the teams I wanted set up tho

Well if we are talking about Gens 3 to 5, then I am totally with you on this one

This is a spreadsheet of Pokemon I trained in Gen 5 to be "Battle Ready"
Each one took hours. See how terrible their IV are? this is when I "gave up" for each of them, this is the best I wanted to settle on

Those are from newer games-

And I have more, I just didn't "Excel" them
Each one took a hour..at max

Again, Destiny Knot made it trival. Take a Pokemon with 0 IV and a 5 IV Ditto and breed 5 eggs
Hatch those 5 eggs, check which one has the most perfect IVs, and make it the parent together with the 5 IV Ditto
Now hatch 5 more eggs, someone should have 3 perfect IV. replace, someone should have 4 perfect IV in the first or second batch. repeat until you get a 5 IV parent

Now if you think a hour is too much time per Pokemon..I don't know what to say to you. How many Pokemon do you plan on raising? every single kind? then fine, complain away.

Also, there is something I can't defend -
If you need a hidden ability with specific gender like Combee, and good IV, this is going to get harder
People that aim for a specific Hidden Power is making thing even worse

But for general, 5 IV Pokemon? again, less than a hour
I used to breed dozens of 5 IV Protean Froakie and put them on the GTS asking for Legendaries. It didn't take a long time at all using my 6 IV Greninja. And I got a bunch of them 6 IVs in the process
