Certain wild pokemon
« on: April 12, 2011, 03:12:58 pm »
Has anybody ever wondered how wild pokemon such as Golem, Alakazam, Gengar, Machamp etc, can be encountered, considering they need to be traded for them to evolve. The only logical reasoning i can see behind it is that someone traded for it, and released it, but why would someone go through the trouble of trading on of their own pokemon for one that they're just gunna release?

Thanks to cortexjs for making this banner.

Well, obviously (we got a rapist) the trainers got over them/they weren't any good/ they just didn't want them,

Perhaps there is some kind of external condition in the wild that will make one of those pokemon evolve, and trading somehow triggers the same response?

I'd agree with ShadowFred with this. Those Pokemon in the wild are rare too, hence why I think that only trading satisfied such and such conditions.
No one can go back and change a bad beginning; but anyone can start now and create a successful ending.
If a problem can be solved, no need to worry about it. If it cannot be solved what is the use of worrying?

Instead of them having to be traded would'nt it be fairer just getting to a certain level like 50 make them evolve.

We've discussed safe trading, that is, you "Safe Trade" with someone, and it trades the Pokemon to them, and then back to you in one go - this procs "on Trade" events - but the Pokemon actually never leaves your party.
