Legal - Being able to naturally exist in the game, given the right circumstances. Infeasibility of the circumstance is irrelevant when determining legality; if it ever could exist in the game, no matter how rare the circumstances, it is Legal.
Legit - Created only using in-game methods without taking shortcuts.
Illegal - Not able to exist naturally in the game. Intended to include both obvious hacks, as well as illegal PV-IV combinations, that which is not legal cannot be legit.
You are being subjective by saying all genned pokemon are never legal, when the fact is that with PKHeX and NTR plugins you can create legal pokemon. When comparing pkm files you literally cannot tell difference between a legit pkm and a legal pkm. GF checks for legal values not legitimacy because there's no way to check for that. The only way to prove that a pkm is legit is to have a picture or video that you actually caught it yourself.
and you are right, having genned pokemon doesn't make you a better trainer. In competitive gaming strategy and skill is what matters not the time you invested in growing the pkm or how you got it.
