>>53411475That's not how they ever played things in their entire history, apart from Gen 2 but given the extreme limitations they'd placed on transfers between Gens then that's the exception that likely forced the rule.
You couldn't transfer shit back to Gen 3 from Sinnoh, you couldn't transfer shit back to LGPE from Sword, I doubt you're going to be able to pass shit back to Gen 8 to evolve or whatever.
>some SV 'mons need to go to PLA to evolveWhat do you think the DLC is for, you stupid fucker? Every non-Hisuian variant will be given the capability to evolve, as if Annihalape's "use rage fist 20 times" escaped your notice (and if the monkey can evolve using a move 20 times, Stantler and Urasring will too - just need to wait for the move tutors to teach the evo moves to them).
