Am I the only person that thinks trade evolutions are pretty stupid? It doesn't make much sense as a gameplay mechanic or as a thing that happens in the game world.
As a thing that happens in the game world it's stupid because trading a pokemon consists of handing over your pokeball in exchange for another hand to hand, I don't see how that would make a pokemon evolve.
As a mechanic it's even more stupid because it's more of a chore than something fun. You have to find a trusted friend to trade the Pokemon back and forth or do the tedious process of trading with yourself using the GTS which thankfully is now a thing, otherwise back in the day you were SOL if you didn't have a friend who played Pokemon.
Why don't they remove this mechanic already?

It's a ploy to sell more games. Always turned me off, even as a kid.

You'd think it would be enough with having version exclusives. Thankfully as a kid I had one other friend that played Pokemon so I could evolve our mons together. But by the time Diamond was out I didn't have anyone to trade with and it was a real fucking hassle.

Even with online friends it's a lengthy and annoying hassle. It was even worse back in the day - I really only met with a friend to evo my shiny Graveler in Gen 4 and that was about it.

Store or location exclusives is the worse shit in this series. They really should give them over Wi-Fi after a month or two of the codes being exclusive to a store or location.
I do understand event Pokemons given away at conventions or tournaments, those are a cool way to reward attendance so long as it's something not essential like Surfing Pikachu.
