They distribute delta binary patches on the form of IPS formats.

Which gives me even less reason for why they would distribute modified ephemeral data vs source data to alter game logic.

Obviously, if you want all 151 Pokemon captured, you would do that through a save state. But if you want increased chances of capturing Pidgey, it would certainly be easier to distribute a ROM (or delte, in this case) with those new ratios baked in.
