The whole idea of Gift Pokemon arose to make them untradable yet special in some way.

Tbh, they already have a whole ribbon. They should be tradeable imo, it's a weird and unnecessary addition .

The purpose of applying a Gift Ribbon to make these monsters untradeable or non-breedable achieves a few things:

 

• It prevents the point at which certain species becoming available in the storyline being the 'best' way to obtain them (The starters being the most obvious example)
• In achieving the above, it encourages active play to obtain these species instead of just creating a new account each time.
• It prevents 'excess' amount of these species existing in game, as not every body who is given something for free during the storyline will hold onto it, especially if it has value / they never wanted it in the first place.
• It allows us to give away species you might not normally be able to obtain easily, because they hold little consequence (in most cases) to the value of that species, due to being untradeable/having set (and more or less average) IVs.

 

These monsters are special, but the Gift Ribbon isn't placed on them for that reason alone.
