GameFreak has included a lot of things that are inconvenient for the player. For example, just look at the current method to obtain Gigantamax Pokemon. Or the 20 years of teambuilding restriction due to HMs.It would be inconvenient for the player.
I don't think this is a slippery slope situation. There's a difference between a Pokemon requiring the presence of another to evolve, and requiring some legendary Pokemon to get another. GameFreak has already included situations like the latter. You need RSE to obtain Regigigas in DPPt. You need the opposite version member of a trio in order to get its trio master in several games including HGSS and USUM. Etcetera.However, it's still the same thing of Game Freak trying to not force players to buy a subscription service just to obtain Pokemon. If they go against this, what's stopping them from including Mantyke without Remoraid, or Karrablast without Shelmet, and forcing players to buy Pokemon Home just to evolve them?
