Flawless shinies certainly take more work than normal pokemon (you have to hit your seed twice for flawless shinies as opposed to once for normal pokemon in HGSS), especially when it comes to ID/SID abuse, which is why I also think they hold more value, but that's more of the aesthetics side. I'm not sure what you meant by the YT or EV training statements, but at least you agree that caught flawless shinies are more valuable (legendary pokemon in particular), especially since legendaries can't be bred, which would've been convenient. You should learn about ID/SID abuse and then you will know the work that must be done. The most important aspect at the end of the day is YOU making the decision of what's a fair trade and what's not, no matter how ridiculous it may seem to others, it's what YOU, SwampertGirl, think.
