Lots of loot boxes and in game cosmetics can often be traded in the same way though?

For example in Dota 2 people can trade skins for heroes they don't play. Isn't that the same thing as trading a pokemon you don't want?

The majority of free-to-play games from Asia don't provide a mechanism for that.
