>>57238442Its all been explain before by the devs "I got this rare drop in an RPG, i wish i could trade it over to a friend!" Stuff like that which are valid arguments but the sheer scarcity and the lack of alternative methods behind all this is what made it suck.
>Want that cool Gengar pokemon? You better have friends!>Want that cool Steelix pokemon? You better have friends that are willing to give up their Metal Coat which is a one-off item and super rare drop!Legends Arceus' Link Cord item was so handy it even became a staple in so many romhacks out there. tl;dr this shit used to be barely passable 30 years ago where kids socialized and lucky enough to own a link cable but in today's era, Link Cord please.
