Has anyone ever really considered just how messed up trading Pokemon would be in real life? It is essentially trading pets with each other, a practice that is basically unheard of in real life.
Now, I haven’t watched the anime in years, but I’d imagine that more often than not it would go very similarly to how Ash's trade with the Gentleman went. If you were actually able to pull off a trade, nine times out of ten someone would have second thoughts and demand a trade back. And what would happen if kids tried to trade at school? The fights and trouble we used to get into just for trading cards at school were bad enough.
And then there's the issue of trading Pokemon just to evolve them (with the intent to trade back). I could see people getting shot for not returning each other's Pokemon lol.
