: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.)

== Something About Trading With Items ==
I noticed something about, well, the title says it. I'm just pointing this out. "All Pokémon that evolve from a Pokémon by trading with a held item that were introduced in Generations IV-VI, with the exception of Gigalith, have at least 1 R in their names. Proof-
Rhydon → '''R'''hype'''r'''io'''r'''
Electabuzz → Electivire,
Magmar → Magmo'''r'''ta'''r''',
Porygon2 → Po'''r'''ygon-Z,
Dusclops → Dusknoi'''r''',
Boldore → Gigalith (No R, see?),
Gurdurr → Conkeldu'''rr''',
Karrablast → Escavalie'''r''',
Shelmet → Accelgo'''r''',
Spritzee → A'''r'''omatisse,
Swirlix → Slu'''r'''puff,
Phantump → T'''r'''evenant,
Pumpkaboo → Gou'''r'''geist
