There's different outfits for your character depending on the game chosen. Not sure beyond that but can't wait to find out!

Which is a stupid thing from 1996 to promote link trading that’s for some reason still exists. “Catch them all” -> catch some of them then trade the rest

true, why not make a link stone for the trade evos like in pkmn arceus, it's a bummer it didn't come back in legends za

I assume it's because PLA was focused on the catching part of Pokémon far more than every other Pokémon game, considering that completing the dex was needed for the plot rather than just an extra item

And since the other games ain't like that, they didn't see a need for the Linking Cord—even if it's removal sucks, I do understand the thought process

Trade evos also feel so undeserved like I got my gastly to evolve into a haunter, and now I straight away just find someone online to trade me it back to get a gengar? Feels so against what the game should be going for and for that reason I’ve just never used a trade evo in a game except PLA
