The Unova Pokemon evolve so late.....
When I first started to play Pokemon Black, I had to evolve my Zweilous to LV 64, WTF!? It should have evolved in Level 40 or 37 like the others, and that my Mienfoo evolved late as well, it should have evolved in LV 30 as well. And here are the Pokemon I think that evolve late: Deino/Zweilous, Scraggy, Joltik, Mienfoo, Larvesta, Pawniard, Rufflet, Vullaby, Golett(somewhat), Litwick, Axew(it should evolve at Lv 30 like Dratini and Bagon), Ferroseed, Elgyem, Frillish, Foongus, Scraggy, a LOT isn't it. But what level do you think that the Pokemon that evolve late should evolve? EDIT: Do not take my opinion seriously, it's what I think. And that compared to Pokemon like them from the 1st 4 generations, they seem to evolve depending on how strong they are or their origin. But for the rest, they should be a little lower.

I think all these Pokémon should've evolved at low levels like 20-30 because most of the people that play the games are used to it. But, that's why I think Nintendo made the levels higher.
|
It certainly mixed it up a bit. Personally, I belive Pokemon should evolve at the 'normal' levels (for instance, the pseudo legendary should evolve at level 50/55 as normal.) However, it didn't really affect me much. I used a Hydreigon, but because I was still experiencing the 'main story', before I knew it, my Zweillous had evolved into Hydreigon. As for Larvesta and Volcarona, since you get both Pokemon (the Larvesta egg and the Volcarona in the ancient castle), that didn't bother me either. XD
|
I love the high-level evolutions tbh. I always got this little sinking feeling when I finished evolving my starter, because I knew I wouldn't have anything to look forward to except for new moves, and this is just what I'll have. I love having an evolution to look forward to and work towards.

The high-level evolutions are annoying to me because I wanted to use Pokemon like Volcarona and Hydreigon for the first-round Elite 4 without having to grind like crazy.
To be honest, I'd like some of the Pokemon that evolve at high levels evolve a bit lower (like Mienfoo, Pawniard, Larvesta and the Deino line) |
Yeah it's annoying but thats 5th gen for ya D:
|
I didn't really mind the change. Although, it would've been nice if there were a few Pokémon that evolved at lower levels. It's strange that only the Pokémon that evolve before lv20 are Lillipup and the starters. But at least it gave me a longer play, even though I still managed to finish the National Dex in two weeks. For many of the Pokémon, it didn't matter much, as their evolutions could be caught in the wild, usually in shaking grass.
|
I agree that some of the new pokemon evolve too slowly. Especially because I am focused on completing my pokedex. Curse you Gamefreak!
|
I agree that Dragons evolve later in-game, but level 64 for Hydreigon? .___. A bit... odd?
With Scraggy, I think it has decent stats already and getting a more awesome Pokemon at level 39 is worth it. I didn't care about Volcarona either since you get both of the unevolved, and evolved form. Personally, I really don't care much how long my Pokemon evolves. I just grind like hell then realize that they're changing their form. I even give out everstones so they learn their moves earlier than evolved forms. |
I kept leveling my Zweilous up to like, level 60, and I thought it would never
evolve! Then of course, it ends up evolving at lv.65 or something. I thought it would evolve at lv. 55 like the other tyranitar and dragonite. But NO! It takes forever TT_TT They should have eveolved at normal times like the ones from earlier generations. I guess they did that to make an otherwise easy and boring game more challenging. |
i am neutral with this issue. I love training pseudo-legendaries, but I agree. Hydreigon is just too high a level requirement to evolve, unlike the normal 55. With others, it is just fine for me too. I like their pre-evo's anyway.

I enjoyed the new evolution levels. I mean, look at the level you get the Pokemon, and when they evolve! Joltik is already 24-27, and it evolves at 36! Deino is at 38-40, and evolves at 50, and then again at 64! If you are complaining about leveling level 1 Pokemon, then maybe you should consider something a bit easier to level. Plus, Lucky Eggs are free for a reason.
In my mind, the new leveling system gives my practice of incremental leveling validity. By raising each Pokemon little by little, it allows me to build a team I am comfortable with, and the late evolutions just add to that. |
I knew how annoying it was to raise a Deino all the way to a Hydreigon, Level 64 is a pain...
Also, the Larvesta from the egg obtained on Route 18. Needs to grind 58 levels before you have that Volcarona. |
imo it's kinda bad when this is the one generation I decide to complete the Regional PokeDex and... I get... level 64 evolution... ;__;
I think I'd much rather if the highest evolution was around 50, really. There's 156 Pokemon (lol I forgot so I had to look at the forum description, how useful for it to be there - 10/10 for us, for having wrote that in lool), 153 you can find... and really, it's the highest amount of regional Pokemon. For such a high amount, and with only about 15 Pokemon not having evolutions, it's kinda dumb that the evolution levels ARE SO DAMN HIGH. At least on the plus side it means that they're so strong that it takes a true master to evolve them! |

I think the high evolution levels are to give you a bit of a challenge.

I wasn't trying to be harsh, I was merely pointing out the obvious. They revamped the Exp System, and it has had many mixed reviews. They most likely hoped that the scaling Exp would help alleviate the grind, but without realizing it, made it worse.
Sorry if I seemed harsh, but I was just stating what I thought. |

It never bothered me whatsoever because when I was raising my Deino, I kept battling the Elite 4 and after 3 rounds with the Pokemon League, I got a Hydreigon. The same way for my Volcarona when it evolved from Larvesta.

I honestly kind of like it. It's almost more realistic, as ironic that may sound when talking about fictional creatures. But by comparing the anime and whatnot, Pokemon obviously don't evolve on their designated evolution levels. I mean, how many episodes have you seen with an older man having a Stage 1 Pokemon and claim the Poochyena is as old as his is, yet they've been every where and have beaten all of the Gym Leaders? In games that Poochyena would have evolved on level 18, where as the character's hasn't even bothered to pretend to evolve. I just like the realism of it. Besides, like Toujours said, if mine evolve too early, I have nothing but new moves to look forward to.

I don't really care about the evolving stuff. It doesn't really bother me. Besides, if you really want a Galvantula or Bisharp on your team before the first time E4, then go take the guide's advice and grind on Victory Road and fight the people in Nimbasa. And if you need them after the first time E4, give them an Exp. Share and go to a post-game route and find an Audino or fight in Nimbasa. It's not really that much of a bother after you beat the game the first time. Yes, it's kind of annoying before you beat the first time E4 and a small time after that when all the trainers have Pokemon in the 60's, but that's about it.
