Before I start, please note that I did use the search function and I did not find any duplicates of this. It's entirely possible I missed it, though, so if anyone would like to look around I'd appreciate it.

Ok, so onto the suggestion. I saw on loketoke's feeds that Zygarde is different for everyone. Some people need Psychic, Electric, Ice, Fairy, and dragon gems- 3 rare gems, while others need Rock, Normal, Steel, Fairy, and Dragon gems- 2 rare gems.
Then I looked around to see if Yveltal and Xerneas were in the same boat and sure enough, they are.

Some people require more rare gems than others. I don't see this as reasonable at all. So what I'm suggesting is to simply make it so everyone requires the same amount of rare and common gems.
No, I'm not suggesting for everyone to have the same exact gems. An example of what I'm suggesting would be: One person would require Dark, Flying, Poison, and dragon gems for Yveltal, another would require Ice, Electric, Psychic, and dragon gems. The other would have Dragon gems, along with the other three, except replacing Rock, Normal, or Steel with a rare gem. Or, replace the Ice and Dark gems with common gems.

Anyway, that's pretty much it. I encourage you to post your opinion or vote on the poll. I don't even care if you say no support. I'd just like to know where everyone's thoughts stand on this, so don't be afraid to share your opinion or vote~

I noticed there was a difference quite some time ago. For Zygarde I finally got 50 Dark, Fairy, Flying, Poison, and Dragon Gems. It took a while, a LONG time because of the Rare Gems. 3/5 are Rare Gems it really took a long time and I spent a lot of money and other Gems.

If it isn't the same for everyone with the rarity of the Gems required, if I had the one that costs more Rare Gems, then I feel kinda cheated because then there's others that got it with less money spending. I support this because it should be fair! Make them, even if not the same exact Gems, be different Gems with equal Rarities!

Actually, looking at the gem's real rarity, all combinations are the same & fair.
All of Xerneas'/Yveltas' combinations contain 2 common gems, 1 uncommon gem & 1 rare gem (= Dragon Gem). And for Zygarde it is 2 rare gems (Dragon & Fairy), 1 uncommon gem and 2 common gems.
The market values may be different - but that's sometimes arbitrarily set by some users...

Psychic, Electric, Ice, Fairy, and dragon gems- 3 rare gems

That's true - 2 rare gems (Fairy, Dragon), 1 uncommon gem and two common gems.

while others need Rock, Normal, Steel, Fairy, and Dragon gems- 2 rare gems.

Dragon Gems & Fairy Gems = 2 rare gems
Though Steel Gems are uncommon, which makes this combination equal to the first one.
The rest of this combination is built with 2 common gems, Normal & Rock.

Steel gems are so not uncommon! I get a ton of those. I have 243 currently, while with gems like Fairy, Ice and Dark, I have between 20 and 50.

I can assure you: They are uncommon. There are three set rarities for gems: Common, Uncommon & Rare. And there is no difference of propabilities within the three categories.
And Steel Gems are in the category "Uncommon" (I just checked)

How in the world are they uncommon when people get a ton of them? Please explain that.

I'd say that Steel Gems are Uncommon. But you can't say that Ice Gems are Uncommon, because you can get Steel Gems through Rumble Areas when you can't get Ice Gems from there.

I support, like Furret said. Because I consider that Steel Gems are easier to get than Ice Gems, and it's not fair for everyone. Ice Gems are worth 8000 PD, when Steel Gems are worth 500 PD, maybe?

---

Please remember that you get different gems on rumble missions, depending on the areas that you choose. Maybe you always send your Pokémon on Rumble Mission where you can find Steel Gems - but you never send them on areas where you can find dark gems (for example)

I send my Pokemon to all areas. I never get Dark or Ice gems from them but I always get Steel (I think from Fiery Furnace).

I don't think dark and ice gems are in rumble areas, are they?

I send 6 Pokemon on rumble missions- 1 in each area. Even with one in each area, I get a good amount of Steel gems and could get enough for one of the legends in a good period of time without trading, the tunnel, boxes, or golden slot. Unlike ice and dark gems where I don't have rumbling to get them, and I can't just rely on the tunnel, golden slot, and boxes, or else that'd take a super long time.

Well, I guess I didn't notice that fact. However, Steel, Dark & Ice can now be found on rumble mission - with equal rarity.
