Why is that trivia even necessary? It can be clearly seen in the table below that most trade evolutions require an item. While we're at it, we could add other obvious trivia like "Feebas is the only older Pokémon to receive an evolution method in Gen V" and "Gen II introduced the most trade evolutions." --<font face="Segoe UI"><span style="text-shadow:grey 0.1em 0.1em 0.1em">[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|<font color="red">The</font>]]Very[[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|<font color="white">Best</font>]]</span></font> 06:24, 8 April 2014 (UTC) | Why is that trivia even necessary?

:Most lists/tables work best with ''some'' introductory text. The point isn't trivia (therefore validating whatever other bits of trivia you might want to add), it's to ease the reader's transition into what follows. If you can think of a way to do that better that avoids recounting "trivia", feel free. | |||
:The first thing I can think of at the moment ("Some Pokemon evolve when traded (between two players)"...) is completely inane (it just repeats the concept). If nothing else, I suppose you could do a bit of a history. (Paraphrasing:) "Gen I started it, but when Gen II introduced held items, it also introduced Pokemon that could only evolve when traded and holding an item". (I don't make this change myself because I don't have a problem with the current text and I think a history is a bit overwrought.)
