If you don't specify them, people will choose for you. Someone may be on your profile interacting with your Pokémon, maybe see something cool and tell a friend "hey check out his Shiny Eevee" or whatever. People are going to refer to you one way or another. Even in real life, people need to mention you in third person. Why would you not want the freedom to choose that?
