>>51863858Yeah, but scyther and Pinsir weren't. The nidos weren't intended to be version exclusives (though they DID have different encounter rates on the various routes they appeared between games), Appletun and Flapple were intended to be, because otherwise the only exclusives would be shit people could transfer into Home, which doesn't earn Game Freak nearly as much money as selling xm copies of the alt version game does.
>>51863864>they never did it, that means they can't do itNah, just means they're looking for more methods apart from "hey trade this to evolve/give it an item then trade to evolve". Now you don't even need to give up one your shitters to evolve, just need to beg an apple to match the form you want. Sorry you're autistic, but Pokémon isn't immutable, it grows and evolves and expands when it feels it's able to expand its mechanics. If you weren't such a friendless neet, you'd have realised this by now.
