Trade evos

[A Phoenix]

the game's community was always ever online

I forgot one really important thing, longevity. No matter the game, population numbers will diminish and eventually you might never find someone at the same point in the game as you. At that point it might be impossible to get what you want. Maybe i'm being paranoid but as a person who barely has internet in the first place I don't want to never be able to use some of Uranium's coolest pokemon. 
I hate comparing these two but this is something Reborn has prepared with it's link stone. Why cant I have the choice to get trade evolution the old fashion way or with some alternate method.
