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?
