By doing that you only get a different percentage, it doesn't change the actual IV points to anything. The percentage is just to give an estimation of the Pokemon's power. The current system is widely used pretty much everywhere so there's probably no need to change that to avoid confusion. If you want to be very clear about your IV's, just use the numbers (x/15, x/15, x/15).

IV and real IV
Hi all.
Everybody adds hp+atck+def to get a IV/45 in percentage.
But i think you should add atck twice, because hp and def work together and attack is just one.
So I think you should add up atck twice and divide by 60 to get the real IV.
Besides if a PKM is not a gym defender atck is the most important IV.
What do you think? Is it a good approach or do you have a better one?
Thx

Agreed. Furthermore, while ATK does matter more in the CP calculations, practically speaking DEF and STA are equally important in the real world - while having a high attack power obviously affects your damage output, being able to stay alive for a long time does too. There's a reason why pokemon with high ATK but low DEF/STA aren't generally included in the top ranked tiers.
I have a spreadsheet that calculates the CP for every 0-15 combination of IVs (4096), and then I put in the IV for mine and it tells me the rank of what number it is and it's percentile.
It's based on what level 40 CP of final evolution for IV combination.
E.g., all 15/15/15 are rank 1 and 100%, but after that the Pokemon matters because different stats are more valuable.
So a 15/15/12 (Atk/Def/Sta) Snorlax is rank #6, and 99.8%, but the same IVs for an alakazam is #25 and 99.4%, because alakazaam benefits so much more from the HP stat (because it's base Sta is so low)
And then when I name it, I include what it's rank is (usually only care for the top 100 for that pokemon)
