All right, yes, assuming you notice it. It's another burden for users to check but I suppose that could work.
What if you don't notice?
What if you don't care at the time but, say a few months later, you decide you want to DP it? What then?
With the proposed change, S/A/M sales would be for the specific purpose of acquiring that S/A/M. None of these hypothetical scenarios would be relevant, because if you want DP then you just trade for DP in the first place.
What ifs
Of course you could say, what if the OT forgets to put the lock on? There is no protection then! But, it is the responsibility of the OT to remember to put the lock on.
It isn't the systems fault for user error.
You could also make it so the lock only starts ticking down AFTER an pkmn is traded, like an "away from owner" timer.
@planet pluto also proposed just an inherent cool down which would also work here, and prevent the OT from having to remember to lock it at all!
