How to evolve Kadabra in pokemon platinum without trading

Apparently to evolve Kadabra into Alakazam you need to trade him. But how can this be done without system link?

Is there a code or workaround to getting Alakazam? Or should I just ditch abra?

If you want to do it legitimately, setup Desmume Wifi (google around, you might find a GBAtemp thread with tutorial and links). You theoretically need a wired LAN connection to be hooked by Winpcap, but you can do with EasyTether, using your phone to tether Wi-Fi.

Once you're done, deposit it on the GTS asking for an impossible trade (lv. 9 Staraptor or something, be aware that level 9- Dialga/Palkia/Giratina is possible), make any trade there (looking for silly pokémon like low level Bidoof or Cricketot preferably), once you manage to trade anything immediately withdraw your Kadabra and it'll evolve. This trick only works in Gen 4 though.

But if you want the easy way, just get Pokésav/Pokégen and edit your Kadabra into Alakazam.

Could you please show me how I would do that either in the online editor or the downloaded program. I tried it and everything was really confusing. I understand that this may be too much that I am asking for but I'd really appreciate it.

There is a simple hack that removes all of the trade evolutions, just google, "pokemon platinum no trade evolutions rom" download it and replace it in your roms folder. It should work with your old savegame (it worked with mine), but make a backup just to be safe.

I tried this, the game loads at the point where I saved it but when I take one step it just throws me back at the main menu.. What to do? :(
