I actually would not mind HA hunting being a one off thing to do, since it takes outs the bothersome task of trying to hunt for a HA female. And the radar would still get some use for those that are looking to chain a shiny 'mon of their choose. I get your points, though. As to the point, some people just want to have access to that Pokémon for their own playthrough/experimentation, but that is weak justification for cheating in of itself...


I am just plain confused as to why they left out some HA Pokémon from the big initial release. Was it time concerns, or some other nebulous reason I am unaware of?

A bug is a bug no matter how you look at it. And using that bug to one's advantage is exploitation no matter how much you try to justify it. Chain breeding HA was NEVER intended. It's not how it works in the canon games, and it wasn't supposed to be a thing in Uranium. That much was clear, and both the old and new devs agreed upon that. So, naturally, being the lawfully evil dev that he claimed himself to be, @Androziel was simply doing his job when removing all possible ways to exploit the "chain-breeding HA" bug. The only reason those species are HA-locked is because they are "gifts"/one-time-only Pokemon that you cannot catch in the wild and therefore, their HA should be something special as well, and will be released into the game in ways worthy of them. At least, that's how he saw it back when I talked to him when the bug was first found. How much of that still applies today and how exactly will they be implemented is depending on our devs...
