Also this in general makes the game a lot easier, which if you read any of my posts in other threads, Decreasing the Difficulty is the last thing Pokemon needs.
I never considered pressing the d-pad in opposite directions for hours and hoping for RNG to give me what I want "difficulty." It's just pointless tedium. And you still have to grind your Pokemon to lv100 so it's not like IVs are handed out for free now. If they want the game to be more difficult there are a ton of better ways to do it
It just has a lot of Cons that can't be overlooked.
Trade Your pokemon to ORAS, Give them a Lucky Egg, Get them to Level 100 with Blissey in your secret Base and Spam the Elite Four, Trade them back to Sun and Moon, Profit. You could do it all in a Single Day if you were determined enough. It's not hard at all.
I'm not saying that Hyper Training is entirely bad, I actually am looking forward to it. It just has a lot of Cons that can't be overlooked.
Hyper Training will decrease the value of Pokemon when it comes to Trading, Having a 5/6IV HA Pokemon will no longer matter. Also, even if Bottle Caps are super rare, use them all on a Ditto.

I don't see a downside to not having my Pokemon permanently handicapped by IVs or not having to rely on rng.
That's impossible to prevent with hack check because hacking 99 Bottle Caps and 99 Rade Candies doesn't break the game's internal limits. Hack check can only detect Pokémon that break those limits e.g. by having attack(s) that it can't normally learn.Secondly, Unless they implement an improved hack check, Hackers can now just cheat in 99 Bottle Caps and 99 Rare Candies to get their perfect Pokemon.
First of all, Like I said, being able to take any pokemon and give it Perfect IVs in the game devalues a lot of Pokemon when it comes to trading. For example, a 5IV Heal Ball Cresselia that you spent days trying to catch and a lot of people would be willing to trade for now isn't worth that much because any random person could just go catch a run of the mill cresselia and give it 6IVs.
Secondly, Unless they implement an improved hack check, Hackers can now just cheat in 99 Bottle Caps and 99 Rare Candies to get their perfect Pokemon.
Thirdly, I said it decreases difficulty for 2 reasons, 1. Because I'm really hoping they improve upon the Post Game. and 2. The Battle Maison and Link Battles, Having 5/6IV Pokemon makes this easier (as better stats = less difficulty = better chance to win)
Now Like I said before, I'm actually really looking forward to this mechanic, When I get Sun and Moon I can get that Shiny 5IV Luxray that I always wanted and etc.
Plus Because of Hyper Training you won't have to throw out the pokemon you adventured with during the Story line because their IVs suck. So that's awesome.
Hyper Training is a mechanic that will open up a lot of things that we haven't been able to do before or haven't been able to do before due to time required to do so. You just have to be aware of the problems that this mechanic brings to the table, denying these problems is just being ignorant.
Also, we can't say anything for certain until we know the Rarity of these Bottle Caps. They could be as easy to find as Heart Scales, or they can be extremely rare. Seeing how Magearna holds one, I think it's going to be the ladder.
