I see where you're coming from in that you're very limited in what you can do but I think some people just like the novelty of having a shiny unobtainable form sitting in their box as a collector's sort of thing.Illegal pokemon will get rejected in online activity. Shiny locked/unattainable pokemon is a prime example since ppl will know you hacked to get it. This is why I fail to see the point in using encounter codes outside of completing the dex, b/c if they are caught in places they normally dont spawn its illegal to use online.
