Here's my take on it.
Remember Zapdos? That one Pokemon in XY that people wanted but was super hard to get perfect, as opposed to EVERYTHING ELSE? AND people tried to get Hidden Power Ice on it?! I had a friend who encountered 2, count them, TWO SHINY ZAPDOS'S in the process of getting the perfect one. And he denied them both! And eventually, he gave up on getting his perfect Zapdos. Peoplr made videos, gudes, and wasted days JUST for this one Pokemon! I NEVER wanted to use Zapdos because of this.
But as soon as the Move tutor XY Premier challenge rules kicked in. I wanted a new Tailwind user. I had already used Talonflame and Murkrow. I tried out Scizor, and it didn't fit my team well enough. My good friend kept pressuring me to use Zapdos. If not that, then Aerodactyl. And I couldn't use Aerodactyl. I freaking hate Aerodactyl! So I used Zapdos, since I could use a Thunderbolter on my team, and it also had Heat Wave. And my friend said he had a legit one that he wasn't using. So I gave in. I used it in an unexpected way. I then proceeded to go 4-0 in a premier challenge (before top cut, of about 24 people) the next day. I was shocked.
And now with how common Thundurus is?? Why spend all that time? And on any Pokemon, why try to get the correct Hidden Power legitimately? It's absolute ridiculous RNG! In all the cases I mentioned above, genning is more than okay in my eyes. But with breeding the normal 5 IV stuff, I'd say get it legitimately. Although I myself use a 6 IV Ditto that I know is genned.
In case you guys didn't hear, a bunch of the Worlds 2014 Top Cut Pokemon were hacked. There was only one legitimate Hydreigon of the bunch, and even Se Jun Park had a problem. All of his Pokemon had hacked IVs! We have proof of it, but The Pokemon Company didn't get any of those people in trouble. Not too sure about Ray Rizzo's Aegislash in a Dream Ball though...
