How would you fix Pokemon that evolve via Trade?
The problem is that back in Gen 1 multiplayer was still cutting edge, so certain Pokemon evolve only via trade to encourage cooperation and playing together.
But nowadays we have wifi, so none of that really applies.
I suggest a solution that keeps the unique trade evo feature intact while not screwing over solo players:
>Pokemon who evolve ONLY via trade can also evolve at a fair level (Kadabra can evolve at level 32 or as soon as you trade it)
>Pokemon who evolve via trading with a rare item evolve at a higher level (Magmar can still be traded with Magmarizer, but will also evolve at level 40)
I think that would be somewhat fair, and I know a few ROMs have done something similar. Thoughts?
