RYOUKI November 30th, 2008 10:29 PM

Hmm? Heck no. I love all the new evos, it makes them more compatible to competitive battling, take Tangela for example, Tangrowth is really cooler-looking, and it has great Defense.

I'm actually currently trying to catch all of them right now.

Venia Silente November 30th, 2008 11:00 PM

For me some of these evos are the Worst.Pokémon.Ever.

Glaceon, Leafeon, Magnezone, Weavile and Gliscor are simply awesonemess made flesh/metal and I am more than happy they are here. Yanmega and Gallade look cool, and I can live with them. Dusknoir and Mamoswine were unexpected for me, but they worked anyway.

Togekiss and Probopass... I don't even know what to think about that... just looking at them my mind deadlocks.

And then... Rhyperon, Magmortar, Licklicky and Tangrowth... well as I said above. I mean, come on! They had already ruined Onix and Scyther with those Gen II evos. Now they had to ruin more cool Pokémon too? I particularily mean Magmar... some Pokémon were cool because they had no evos. They were just badass by design.

Oh well... at least they have not ruined Lapras and Marowak yet. But I no longer know what to expect. I mean, they did create Nosepass and Probopass after all...

Epic win??? They did over do it. They should just create new ones like they had to in the beginning. What'd be horrible is if they made a Lucario evolution. They'd RUIN it.

Shadow Chant December 3rd, 2008 2:43 PM

My list. I just don't like how goofy they made Lickilicky and Magmortar.

Probopass - Looks like Mario from The Super Mario Bros. but in Pokemon form.
Togekiss- Funny looking
Magmortar- It looks like a clown, and I hate clowns.
Leafeon- It's alright.
Glaceon- It would have been better if they made a fighting type eeveelution
Ambipom- ...Nah. It's ok.
Mismagius - I don't really care about it.
Gliscor - Cool. They improved this Pokemon really well
Weavile - At least Sneasel doesn't disgrace it's line anymore.
Gallade- It ruined the TCG season back in last season
Lickilicky- Big and weird with it's tongue
Magnezone- Okay.
Electivire - My favorite Pokemon.
Tangrowth - Almost as ugly as Probopass.
Yanmega - Awesome.
Rhyperior- Woah! This dude looks very scary in mystery dungeon!
Dusknoir- Cool looking.
Porygon-Z - Maybe but it looks like something from a video game.
Mamoswine - This dude is strong.
Froslass- Pretty and chill.
Honchrow- Nice transformation from a Pilgrim dude.

Maybe if they did give it an evolution people would stop whoring the poor thing out so much. It's the bloody poster child for half of all the fans of the anime, i.e. those that insist that Satoshi/Ash should catch one. -_-;

RyCario December 3rd, 2008 3:35 PM

... Whoring in both ways you know... >.>... Ash doesn't deserve one. But it'd be nice to get some other movie for them...?

Steelix is awesome, and you should be slapped for saying otherwise.

Quote:

NEW ONES. I agree, there are absolutely NO new Pokemon in D/P. I'm sorry Rotom, Spiritomb, Garchomp, Infernape, Lucario, Torterra, Cherrim, Empoleon, Bibarel, Luxray, Rampardos, Bastiodon, Bronzong, Lopunny, Staraptor, Gastrodon, Abomasnow, Wormadam, Vespiquen, Floatzel, Drifblim, Hippowdon, Drapion, and all the Legendaries. You guys DON'T EXIST.

You kidding? Lucario's strong enough now- another evolution would make it flat-out overpowered.

Quote:

Gallade- It ruined the TCG season back in last season
Gallade wasn't so bad. It was Gardevoir, who could consistently Power Lock by turn 2 and shut down almost any deck.

Oh god no, I don't want a Lucario evolution. I was merely pointing out that an evolution that would ruin the line might be better in one single sense, as opposed to the dozens of reasons why the horrific jackal-thing should never evolve. >_>;

~Haydos~ December 3rd, 2008 3:46 PM

I agree with most of the others, some of the new evolutions are kind of just lame...

I mean seriously, Probopass - Moustache, Tangrowth - Needs a trim, Magmortar - Looks like he should go back to little kids parties.....
But on the other hand there are some cool ones, such as Gallade, Dusknoir and Rhyperior

Wow, just read that...

Lucario is fine as he is, another evolution would just plain ruin it...
Like Erebus said it shouldn't evolve, I mean what next an Anubis God-Like Pokemon

Leave 'em alone.

THIS is what I mean...

That is exactly what I did when I evolved my Buizel. One look at his back sprite and I stored him in my box for the rest of the game. There is still a level 26 Floatzel in my first box to this day. He has been in there for about 148 hours of gameplay now.

Ok, you got me there. A Lucario evolution?? That'd be really, really bad. Seriously.

Gulpin December 3rd, 2008 5:39 PM

I don't think they overdid the evolutions of previous Pokemon, because every generation has followed a pattern:
1st - all new (duh)
2nd - few new, lots of evos/pre evos
3rd - all new, very little pre evos (Azurill)
4th - few new, lots of evos/pre evos.

And as for my opinion on each:

Budew - cool, not the best though.
Roserade - AWESOME. My favorite grass Pokemon, making me like Roelia better too.
Ambipom - Kind of cool, but should look cuter, not tougher.
Mismagius - Same as ambipom, could have been designed better.
Honchkrow - cool, but could be better.
Chingling - awesome, makes me like Chimecho even better.
Bonsly - cool
Mime Jr. - I've grown on it, but didn't like it at first.
Happiny - I also like this one from the get go.
Munchlax - awesome, and cute
Mantyke - liked this one from the start.
Weavile - cool, just needs a better shiny form
Lickilicky - cool idea, just needs a better design. also forgetfull.
Rhyperior - cool, esp. shiny
Tangrowth - very forgetfull.
Electivire - cool, needs better shiny.
Magmortar - VERY ugly, shiny and normal.
Togekiss - AWESOME
Yanmega - cool, but forgetfull and too tough looking compared to cute Yanma.
Leafeon/Glaceon - very good eeveelutions.
Gliscor - see Yanmega
Mamoswine - GREAT addition to the Swinub family.
Porygon Z - cool design, but I think that all of the Porygon family should be able to change depending on its held item.
Gallade - coolest, made Ralts family even better than before.
Probopass - very forgetfull
Dusknor - cool
Frosslass - great addition to Snorunt family

Yeah, I don't like Floatzel's back sprite either. It just looks...odd. So does its Platinum sprite.

HUG ME!!!!

shamazzel December 5th, 2008 5:19 AM

What I actually would of liked to have seen, Is they create another new set of completely independant (No pre-evolutions ect.) new pokemon and maybe got older one's in after the E4.
one of the hings that I find the most fun about the actual game pokemon, I how their always coming up with new ways to extend the gametime and this really just seems like maybe their running out of ideas for new pokemon.

Anyway just my thoughts

Joord December 6th, 2008 10:18 AM

I Don't Like All the new Evolutions Of the Old Pokemon , Some Kinda Suck , I Like The Eevee's , Hehehe I always wanted al the eevee' but the rest ,, just don't like them

Kokuo December 6th, 2008 6:31 PM

I like the new evolution's.
