I just had the most bizarre and satisfying GTS trade ever.
You see this offer right here? At first, I dismissed it as impossible because Voltorb evolves into Electrode at a much later level than 10.
But then, in all my nerdery, I remembered that in-game trades with NPCs from before gen 5 give you Pokemon at the same level as the one you chose to trade, which can lead to underleveled evolved Pokemon. And it JUST SO HAPPENS that Electrode is one of those Pokemon in gen 1. In order to get it you need to trade a Raichu, which can be under level 10 because Pikachu evolves with a stone and is catchable at level 3. And then I discovered the Brock Through Walls glitch, which allows you to go literally anywhere in the game before you even have any badges.
So I did what any rational person would do on a Wednesday evening and spent $9.99 on the 3ds Virtual Console version of Pokemon Blue, glitched myself to Celadon City to buy a Thunderstone, let all my Pokemon faint so that I could warp back to Pewter City since its the last Pokecenter I healed at, caught a Pikachu in the nearby Viridian Forest, evolved it, glitched myself into Cinnabar Island, and claimed my completely legit yet also illegal lvl 7 Electrode named Doris.
Now I was half sure that Pokebank would realise how messed up this Pokemon was and not allow it into gen 7…
…but it went through perfectly.
So, thanks for the Poipole, Mars of war2. 😜
Either this person really really really wanted a specific kind of Electrode from gen 1 that only supernerds would bother to get, or they were being a stupid troll and I just played them like a damn fiddle.
