I Can’t Stand Trade Evolutions…

It’s even worse in older games. I just wish they made trade evolutions in game. Rather than having to trade with another person because unless you are right next to the trader or know them personally, they could just keep the haunter or machoke you traded to initiate the evolution. Like in sc/vi one of the npc’s trades you her haunter (hauntikins) I think, for a pincurchin or one of the poison types that are common on the beach near levincia I think. Then when you trade with her the haunter almost immediately evolves into a gengar. So it’s not like they can’t do in game trade evolutions. Either do in game trade evolutions or get rid of that metric altogether or have them evolve with a stone like some of the eeveelutions and clefairy.
