Thankfully, emulators exist.
This was an issue back in the day, but it's really not one at all with Online trading.
>pokemon evolves through stone
>traded Mr. Mime has a fucking stupid nickname you hate
Just buy another 3ds and Pokemon game

This was infinitely worse. Especially pre-Gen. IV (thanks Nob Ogasawara, you weird Leaf fuck!).
>playing the same exact thing for the 8th time
>Pokemon evolves by mating
>>379360843
>Want to evolve Pokemon
>You can;t evolve it yourself because it only evolves when it's traded to the other person
>Have to find someone willing to trade a duplicate of the Pokemon to you instead
>tell friend im gonna trade it to him to evolve it and to give it back
>he doesnt give it back
>he falls asleep at my house at sleepover
>connect our gameboys
>Take it back and his starter
>Pokemon evolves via stone
>it's not fire/water/thunder
Why are those things so hard to obtain, it's fustrating

If you don't have a m8 to trade with it becomes a trial to offer your rarest Pokemon for a Pokemon with the wrong nature, no egg moves, breedjeck with a name you can't change
>>379363538
You can find someone to trade it right back to you on
>>379363642
We literally have an entire board dedicated to Pokemon and you ask us to go to Reddit
>>379363538

>>379361779
you can tradeback.
>>379363642
You have to go back.

the worst part of this is playing the old gameboy games like firered and knowing that you will NEVER EVER get a
-gengar
-alakazam
-golem
or
-machamp
basically the most well designed pokemon in the game
because know one else has a copy of a decade old game and one of those dumbass multiplayer links for trading between gameboys
even better is emulation.

They're adults who've moved on from Pokemon. I remember like 10 years ago I annoyed my brother into asking his FB friends (they're all kids) to see if anyone wanted to trade before I realized I could use sites like GameFaqs to trade Pokemon.

>Porygon can only evolve when traded while holding an upgrade disk.
>tons of people put up a Porygon for trade without any item or the wrong item.
>the VERY few that get it right request a Porygon 2 in return.
>The game wont let me send them a Porygon with an upgrade disk even though a Porygon 2 is what they will get.
Shit like this is why I'll never attempt to complete the Pokedex.
>>379365683
