Regarding threads asking to borrow rare or high level Pokemon

[Jamez]

I agree with chris, its stupid, people should train their own pokemon.

RRR... Someone once asked to borrow my charizards!

Borrow Pokemon to beat a section in the game? But half the fun is in pushing your luck and chewing your nails when you get in a tight spot, and vowing to get better if you don't pull through!

I migrated my Mewtwo from my LeafGreen in Pal Park, but I'm not about to use it to get through Stark Mountain. I mean, that's no fun...

Sometimes when someone can't defeat a very tough opponent(such as the Elite Four), they'll ask to borrow somebody's uber strong pokemon so they can get to the next part of the game.

But...you can't rename traded pokemon.

Unless there's an exception for foreign ones I'm unaware of.

Exactly! (Though if you evo a foreign language pokemon [and it wasn't nicknamed in that language] it will change to your language.)

i see the logic but i have a problem with this. its the other persons fault if they trade with someone they dont trust. The mods job here isn't to play big brother all the time. Especially in a case like this. Nintendo has made it otherwise impossible to obtain certain legendaries except through events. you cant trade on the GTC if you haven't seen it and wifi battles dont register in yur pokedex and no npcs have them so the event is the only way to get them. But if you do data trading then it is possible. I think this issue needs to be left to the individual, not the mods.
