In short, IMO "Link Trade" is just super jargony. We can include it in the page, but IMO we're much better off just keeping the page at "trade".

:<s>I think a move to Link Battle is a terrible idea.</s> If I'm remembering correctly, isn't a Link Trade a specific kind of trade (one with other people nearby) and as such the name doesn't apply to Wonder Trades or in-game trades? --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 01:54, 31 August 2015 (UTC) | :<s>I think a move to Link Battle is a terrible idea.</s> If I'm remembering correctly, isn't a Link Trade a specific kind of trade (one with other people nearby) and as such the name doesn't apply to Wonder Trades or in-game trades? --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 01:54, 31 August 2015 (UTC) | ||
::Arguably, since there are quotes like ''"Have this Pokémon hold an Up-Grade, and Link Trade the Pokémon to evolve it."''[http://projectpokemon.org/rawdb/black2/msg/395.php] in B2W2, a Link Trade is basically equivalent to any kind of trade. (If we nitpick, though, we can interpret Link Trade as a type of trade, and the statement does not ''strictly'' exclude other types of trade also causing evolution.) Strictly speaking, though, the Japanese (通信交換) does basically suggest action-at-a-distance, not like "You hand me your Poke Ball and I'll hand you mine" or something (as too the English does, roughly). | |||
::Also, if we also consider "Link Battle", that almost certainly applies solely to two players with two games (or at least "action-at-a-distance" again) and certainly not to the majority of NPC battles in the game. It would be reasonable to say, then, that "Link Trade" does not necessarily equate to all forms of trade.
