In your opinion, should the starter pokemon evolve? And this is for the GBA versions of the game. Should Bulbsaur evolve into Venusaur? Or should we let our beloved starter pokemon stay the same? I think that the starters should evolve into it's second evolution stage and then don't evolve it anymore.

I think they should evolve. Unevolved Pokemon aren't as strong as those who have reached their full potential.
And if that seems heartless, well...maybe. But I always get really excited when my Pokemon evolve, especially if I don't know what they evolve into!

...Plus some second stages are lame. -_- I can't stand Prinplup.

I'm slightly stuck-up and aesthetics-obsessed, so it's highly unlikely you'll see me use anything but shiny Pokemon.
Deal with it. :]

I dont agree there. The whole point, i think, of STARTER pokémon are that they are there at the START of the adventure. Then, afterwards, when they evolve, by that time, your into the game, but only just starting the 'intermediate' part. And if this 2nd form was the final form, itd be abit boring having the same Pokémon for like, 7, or even 8, gym badges. I think its good the starters all evolve twice.

I think the starter Pokémon should evolve. Evolution is a sign of growth and knowledge. It is a great accomplishment for a Pokémon to reach that point in its journey in life.

It all depends on the Pokemon. I don't mind if my Cyndaquil evolves into a Typhlosion(heck, I'd even take Quilava) but when it comes down to Pokemon like Torchic, I WANT that 3rd stage. I just can't stand some 2nd stage Pokemon (Ivysaur, I'm looking at you).

I agree. I don't really care whther or not charmander or bulabsaur evolve, but when it comes to torchic, cyndaquil, squirtle, or piplup become involved, evolution is the key. Particularly typhlosion, who will pwn everything in sight. (i'm a hardcore typhlosion lover, incase you can't tell. almost as much as latias XD)

What's bad of your pokemon evolves..?? well at some times it's very nice to have your cutie pokemon as same as it looks.. but when it evolves.. in the game..and when you beat all the gym leaders and all.. you suddenly look back to all those days hardowr.. and remember you getting your pokemon and it's evolving and maturing.. it's a great sight.. so i think they should evolve after all.. one love's it's pokemon right..?? so you wouldn't care how it looks after evolution.. well this's my opinion

~~Voila
here and there...

Some Pokemon, if they don't evolve, don't get some moves.
Charmeleon won't get Wing Attack, but it also won't get that nice double weakness to Rock...
And I think starters are already fine. They should evolve twice.
Of course, some evolved Pokemon are ugly, but then.....
Just cope with it.

Well I prefer evolves since Pokemon are stronger when they evolve.
They are not always stronger when they evolve b/c the first evo gets the last evo's moves at lower levels =]]

No, if your Pokemon was evolved you would never get to see the first stage of your Pokemon, which would make it impossible to complete the Pokedex. It would also make the game too easy to beat.
