A 5 or 6 IV Ditto is hard to get without hacking. Multiple 4 IV Dittos isn't too hard, it just adds time to your breeding.

To make it super easy I guess they could have some in-game task that rewards you with a 6 IV Ditto.

Well having a 6 IV DItto actually helps and it's never being caught by the hack check because you aren't actually bringing the Ditto itself, you are bringing its descendants. I think everyone uses hacked Dittos even in VGC.

Still, it takes about 40-60 minutes to breed each pokemon, plus the EV training, level up time, and the hassle of trading to get the hidden abilities and version exclusives.

It's annoying and pointless at best. At worst, it makes team testing on cartridge unviable.

There is no reason a multiplayer strategy game needs to have that kind of grinding. You don't force a basketball player to work at an uniform factory during 6 hours a week before he can train basketball. You skip to the actual training part. That's real work. The rest are artificial barriers.
