If you're on PC, you can skip the evo trades pretty easily, I think.
If you're emulating on a smartphone, you can run a second game at the same time to trade with yourself.

How do you do that with one phone?

Get another rom of the game, either the opposite version or just a differently named version of the same one, then
Settings > Link Local > Load another game

most GBC/GBA emulators can trade with itself, haven't found one for DS that can though

A specific version of Desmume can but the whole process is so complicated you're better of just evolving it using pokegen.

Just prepatch your roms with the Universal Pokemon Randomizer so it'll skip trade evolution. You can even set up how they evolve now.

The universal randomizer program can replace all trade evolutions with level 40 or so, without actually randomizing anything if you wish.
