I can't post in Policy Review, but to reply to your argument:
> We don't allow the Mimic glitch, which gives Pokemon access to moves they don't learn; why should we allow this, which gives Pokemon access to stats they can't reach?
We allow the Pomeg glitch, which gives a few Pokemon a few moves they can't get (limited reach). This glitch gives one Pokemon one set of stats they can't get (even more limited reach).
