I'd often breed stuff for friends and trade away the extra, slightly imperfect ones. I have some very special shiny babies... uwu I'm kinda the same way in MTG. I like the brewing and building process a lot more than playing, usually, but I'll play a little bit to get the satisfaction of my build being successful.
I enjoyed breeding 5IV things, naming them, and wonder trading them off. I'm one of those tools that believes heavily in nicknames, and I tend to collect nicknamed pokemon that come to me in trade, or I'll seek them out on the GTS. I wish I found enough with good stats that I would raise and use.
I wish the trading factor were a bit stronger in this game. As it is, I feel like you kinda trade to get something, then you go and breed from it and make it your own. What I've done sometimes is breed from a nicknamed pokemon I got in a trade, but pass on the same nickname to all of its kids, and hang onto the parent's original nature. I have a few kids from doing that.
