I'll be glad to see Ash finally make a trade that he doesn't regret. Some people hold their precious Season 1 as a holy grail, as if that season set the "rules" of what this show is about.
Season 1 has had more retcon's than any other saga. The whole "trading is bad" is the same bullshit in the same season where Ash released half his team, where there were real animals among Pokemon, where Ash didn't even win half his badges fairly, and where evolutions were considered "not important" to the strength of a Pokemon. Yeah...remember how the writers got rid of Starmie but kept Staryu, wtf was the point of that other than to glorify an unevolved form that barely did anything anyway?
What happened to the "only Ash is allowed to have an electric type" rule that was broken when Dawn got Pachirisu? I don't see Pikachu falling from spotlight just because there's another electric Pokemon around.
If Ash and Dawn trade, then they trade, there's nothing you can do about it. Stop bringing up nonsense from over 10 YEARS ago in a season that the writers have retconned or changed their methods about entirely.
Season 1 is not Season 10, get over it.
