    This is why I HATE how certain Pokémon require trading to get them to evolve, nicknaming Pokémon is so lame, allow nicknames to be changed if the Pokémon was traded away, and if Game Freak still refuses to change this then add a prerequisite option in the GTS to only accept Pokémon with no nicknames dammit! I just traded for the same Pokémon to get its final evolution, and the one I received’s name is in Japanese, so now I can’t even read its name ffs!
