Pokemon Evolve so late....
Have you noticed that like, almost every pokemon in the game doesn't reach it's final form until sometime in the 40s? It's kinda annoying for me sometimes. What do you think about it?
|
It depends. If I'm just trying to evolve it for the Pokedex it's annoying, but if I'm actually using it, I like it a lot. It gives me something to look forward to, instead of just dozens of levels of endless grinding with no reward in sight.
|
I haven't got around to buying Black or White yet, But that sounds nice in my opinion, Its kind of boring when your Pokemon fully evolve at low levels, then it leaves you with no excitement ;P.
|
Yeah but then you get kidna bored waiting for stuff to evolve for soooo looong. But whatever, it's not too bad I guess. Especially right now, with all the other new stuff to absorb.
|
Meh, usually the later a pokemon reaches it's evolution, the stronger it becomes.

A lot of the pokemon you capture early on in the game evolve before 40 but as you go on you find they need more levels to evolve unlike the earlier pokemon...
I haven't really minded it so far... |
Don't forget Hydreigon! It has a pretty late evolution, but it's awesome.
Also, I'm starting to like waiting for the awesome Pokemon to level up and evolve. :D |
But, I can say. I was upset when my Tepig hit 16 and didn't evolve. I was all.
"...-rage- D:<<<<< DID I PRESS B???" |
I've noticed it for awhile. Most of the Pokémon are two-lined evos I believe, but I don't see how it has to be all the way at the 40's. ):
|
i dont actually mind it just because the longer it takes to evolve the stronger the pokemon is (most of the time) plus it adds more of a challange to take the extra time to evolve it
|
Pokemon have always evolved too early in my opinon. I am hoping to see even later evolutions, but make them not so dependant on evolving. I always thought dragon types evloved at aroudn the best time.
|
The dragon types like Hydreigon don't really count towards the late evolving thing, as most dragon types don't evolve until they're in the 50s anyway (with the exception of Altaria, but it's the weakest Dragon type so...)
|
I think it's good because it makes me want to train them to see what their fully evolved form is like.
|
It annoys me to NO end, just look at all these who evolve late:
Vanilite -> Level 37: Vanilish -> Level 47: Vanilluxe Deino -> Level 50: Zweilous -> Level 64: Hydreigon Rufflet/Vullaby -> Level 54: Braviary/Mandibuzz Larvesta -> Level 59: Volcanora Mienfoo -> Level 50: Mienshao Sandile -> Level 39: Krokorok -> Level 40: Krookodile Scraggy -> Level 39: Scrafty Tirtouga/Archen -> Level 37: Carracosta/Archeops Gothorita/Duosion -> Level 41: Gothitelle/Reuniclus Foongus -> Level 39: Amoongus Frillish -> Level 40: Jellicent Ferroseed -> Level 40: Ferrothorn Klink -> Level 38: Klang -> Level 49: Klinklang Tynamo -> Level 38: Eelektrik Elgym -> Level 42: Beheeyem Litwick -> Level 41: Lampent Axew -> Level 38: Fraxure -> Level 48: Haxorus Golett -> Level 43: Golurk Pawniard -> Level 52: Bisharp They're all in the high 30's to early 60's range. That would be fine, though the forms should be more spread out. For lines with 3 Pokémon in it, they should evolve in the teens or 20's, not in the high 30's and then again in the late 40's. That's too bunched out and IMO it should be more spread out. |
They do evolve quite late this time around, and although it does bother me in some cases (like when I'm doing a challenge or I just need to evolve the Pokemon for the Pokedex), I usually don't consider it that much of a problem. It does add more of a challenge to the game, which is always a nice touch. I'm just not quite used to the higher leveled evolutions yet. :3
|
I like it. It gives you something to look forward too as they level up.
|
It bothers me a tad.
Probably because I'm not too good with training my pokemon — I usually just let them gain experience by letting them battle against trainers. Like, ONLY trainers. Gym trainers, the ones that you have to battle in order to get by, etc. Maybe I shouldn't do that. |

Archen once you evolve into Archeops, just keep its acrobatics can OHKO most of the gym leaders/e4 pokemons. Haxorus is a gift wrap to trainers with its high atk and you only have to train a wild Axew you caught around 28 levels. DDance + Outrage/Dragon Claw takes out e4, N and Ghetsis. All the pokemons you listed becomes powerhouses once they evolve. Unlike older generations that only has few powerhouse that evolves from a two line evolution. |
The Pokemon involve slow because most of them have Max Exp Medium Fast...
|
Most of the pokemon that require a high level before evolution is partly because you catch them at a rather high level to begin with.. wouldn't be much of a challenge if you caught something at lvl 40 and have its final form at 41. but thats just my opinion
|
Aside from the already given points, it's really easy to gain EXP in Black and White. Audinos give a truckload of it, you get a free Lucky Egg, and the whole EXP system in general just seems faster. In Black I often found myself level-grinding, not out of necessity, but just because it was so conveniently quick and easy in comparison to the previous games. I think that kinda nullifies the negative side of having such high evolution levels.

Some of them annoy me. Especially because I had to level up my Zweilous to lv64 before it evolved before the Pokemon League. Which has Pokemon on lv48 and is filled with under-leveled Pokemon. Well at least they have Audino on every route to help you level up faster.

I like that some Pokemon evolve later in the levels. It makes it a lot more rewarding when they do evolve.
|
I see what your saying, my main issue is that some don't evolve out of their first form until the late 30s, and in one case level 50 (Deino).
The first evolutions of pokemon tend to become very weak in the game at about level 26-30 so having to grind with them up until level 37-39 is difficult. |
I agree. & it can get pretty annoying.
Especially Zweilous which evolves into Hydreigon at Lv.64. |

I actually like the fact that there's more Pokémon that evolves in the later levels. But it annoys me when I'm trying to complete the PokéDex, but other than that, I'm fine with it.
And the reason they evolve so late is probably that most Pokémon in the region becomes like said earlier, powerhouses which could easily beat the trainers, gym leaders and the E4, giving it no challenge at all. |

When I first saw that Zweilous evolves at lvl 64, I think it was a mistake. I like it when Pokemon evolves early, it gives you, I don't know, a pat on the back? I really don't like level grinding so having Pokemon evolve in later stages annoyed me. I like it if Pokemon evolves kinda like the starters or Gardevoir and such. |
Quote:
I agree. The fact Klank doesn't evolve until lvl 49 is annoying me. I guess they wanted us to get used to the new pokemon by letting us a spend a LOT of time with them before they evolve. |
I always thought that most Pokemons evolve too quickly. Mind you, I still enjoyed it because my team grew stronger by every evolution.
However, I prefer it is this way. It makes Pokemon training more challenging. |
The only two Pokemon I used on my team that evolve were Zorua (Lv30) and Oshawatt (Lv17 & 36) i was training other pokemon but they didn't evolve very quickly. I trained zebstrika to 27 then ditched it for emolga. I want a hydreigon but i'm not sure if i want to raise the deino to lv64 just for a hydreigon i might never use

I love it when I level up to get good results..
I usually use the Lucky Egg so it makes it a lot easier when leveling up! |
I think it's great, it makes trainers really have to work for that full pokedex. But on the training front they are a pain in the butt to train (My stupid Deino didn't get to a Zweilous without 4 rare candies because it can't stay alive...) but they do have the highest leveled wild pokemon of any region, which makes training them a bit easier.
|
When my Litwick was lower in level and unevolved I kept thinking, "Okay, Litwick didn't evolve at level 35, so it must evolve at level 36." It wore me out and I had to look that stuff up SO many times.
|
Personally, I don't really mine. Sure, it is a little annoying, but it is more of a challenge that you have the 'worst' form of the Pokemon till later. |
I can't stand it! I'm trying to complete the dex and it's such a pain!
Also, I really want the electric lamprey, but it takes so long to evolve! |
Probably has to do with how powerful a lot of them are now.
|
it doesnt affect me because generally because normally i dont evolve my pokemon so they stay cute :)
|
I think it just makes the game more fun. As others have stated, it gives you something to look forward to while training your pokemon. =D
