i mean i was happy to find out there were extended evos from gen 1 but i wanted to see more gen 1 poke's have and evo in gen 4...like jynx or pinsir...some deserving pokes that need evo's...but:

magmortar-pretty cool lookin, i never really liked magmar, but his evo is sweet
electavire- again, realy wasnt an electabuzz fan, but i might be with his evo out xD
eeveelutions-awsm as always
LICKYLICKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AWSMNESSS!!! THE FUNNIEST LOOKING POKE EVA!xD
Tangrowth- iim actually happy that they gave that little pile of vines and evo...it is now a monster pile of vines xD

and in all honesty to cookie and sprainedkhyber,i depends on how typhlosion and magmortar are raised...ty can pull of attacks faster than mag, but mag will hit ty with a special attack hard...

HP ty>mag
Attack ty<mag
Def ty>mag
SPATk ty<mag
SPDef ty<mag
Speed ty>mag
(*curtesy of veekun.com poke comparer)

3 to 3...judge off that...

....Dang...I didn't think of that at the time,wnxvale...Good point! You are now my new best friend for having a trace of logic!

But dang, a Pinsir evolution! That would be awesome! But Jynx? Uhh...Ew.

Lol. Jynx would either evo into a slim, beautiful woman humanshape... or an even fatter, uglier crappy ice type. Pinsir evolution....

Scyther -> scizor
Gligar -> gliscor
Pinsir -> Pinz... i don't even know. but yeah a pinsir evo would be pretty cool.

Well Magmar and Electabuzz would have been fine 2 gens ago but now with all the new Pokemon available they can't keep up in battling, they still own in in-game battles but in competitive battling they would get owned. Their evolutions don't help a lot but it's still an improvement and you actually get a better chance of winning.

its all just progress, its still pokemon and it was going to happen. you try and think of some fresh pokemon ideas that arent basically already pokemon...tried yet. the answer is yes and you failed. i love magmortar end of discussion.

As far as the knew evolutions go, they don't mean that much to me since I havent used any of their previous forms in years.

Tangrowth - Never liked Tangela, but when I was younger I would hear about how underneath the vines no one knew what it looked like and I always tried to draw what I thought it would look like.

Electivire - Always kinda liked Electabuzz, but more as a lesser pokemon. It was somewhere in the middle, but Electrivire looks awesome and had it come out earlier it probably would have the electric spot on my personal team (Luxray has that spot)

Porygon-Z - Never cared much for any Porygon (so much so in fact that I called it Polygon through all of generation 1, pesky text skimming), but I was always intruiged by the concept. Also if it was created how come another pokemon hasnt been created in the same manner, and shouldnt it have tons of evolutions from adapting itself to cyberspace viruses and such? and what about his ability to fly into space? wouldnt you think with all the rumors that pokemon came from space that someone would have mobilized an army of these guys to search for some? but all that is off topic...

Glaceon - even though I dreamed this up back in gen 1 I don't care for it but I like the design.

Leafeon - same as Glaceon, thought it up years ago but this one looks a lot better

Magmortar - This one is just awesome. It has the best concept of any of these. The sheer fact it has a megaman like cannon makes it awesome. I'll never use it unless I play through soulsilver using pokemon I other than what I usually do.

Magnezone - It needed to have a better form than just 3 magnemites. I hated how they had pokemon that just came together and evolved (other than slopoke) Other than that though its just another # to catch. Maybe diglet will get one someday.

Rhyperior - I guess I always wanted an evolution of this line, but not this one. It looks like a Rhydon ate a grenade or fell into a volcano. With all that said I am coming around to it but it is still a blemish to rhyhorn (now that I think about it I hated Rhydon too back in the day. Guess I just like the rocky look of Rhyhorn)

Lickilicky - Well not much to say. Never cared enough to even remember lickitung was a pokemon ( when I first saw lickilicky I thought "hey that looks familiar. is it a new evolution? nope, it cant be since i know all pokemon and I cant think of another that looks like this one)

In other words out of all of these I would only ever use Magmortar and Electrivire in any form of my personal party with Rhyperior and Magnezone being close but still stuck in a box in favor of another. I'll always collect the eeveelutions. And as for the rest, give it a few more generations and ill forget them like lickitung

I can't say that I don't like Tangela, cuz' I never really used one. But I blame that crappy TV show for that! After Erika in the anime used one, I never bothered, because her's sucked!

I have to say that there were many, MANY new evolutions and pre-evolutions in Gen 4 that were added to Gens 1 and 2 that honestly weren't necessary.

Things like Electivire and Magmortar and Togekiss--I really like those. But did Togetic really need to evolve? It doesn't even learn anything new as a Togekiss--you have to take it to the Move Tutor to teach it Togekiss-specific moves. Here are some other ones that I thought were unnecessary and/or stupid:

--Tangrowth
--Mime Jr.
--Magnezone
--Bonsly
--Mamoswine
--Yanmega
--Porygon-Z
--Ambipom


I actually like Magnezone and Mamoswine, but what was the point of adding them? Is Nintendo going to keep adding and adding evolutions and pre-evolutions to what's already there, or are they going to come out with NEW and FRESH pokemon with a new generation? Because if they keep on adding evolutions there's not going to be a single pokemon that doesn't evolve (like Absol, I mean)!

I believe that a joke on Genereation V has already been done. I mean, what else could they come up with really? I mean, now people can catch Arceus. And hes supposed to be the god of all Pokemon!!

BTW, Magnezone?

Awesome.

I love how whenever people complain about an awful Pokemon design or bad gameplay decision that Gamefreak makes in Generation IV, all of the sudden that means we are wearing "nostalgia colored glasses". No, it just means we don't mindlessly love every new thing that comes out, and we care more about quality than how new it is.

For the record, all of the new evolutions do look awful. Magnezone looks like Disney puked it out, Magmortar has buck teeth for some reason, and Rhyperior's Platinum sprite makes him look like a goddamned toilet/flip-lid trashcan!

There is no god of pokemon, I bet you when people found out about mew, they thought damn thing was the god of pokemon. Just another event that you have to waste gas mney on.

No, I meant that according to the Lore of Pokemon, Arceus is technically god.

The evolutions make it worth actually going to get Magmar, Tangela, Electabuzz, and the others.
Besides, it's better than PRE-evolutions.

Fail. Whoever said that it was a god? And do you trust every legend that you hear?
FYI, creator isn't god.

...Not what I meant.

If you play Platinum, it doesn't specifically state that Arceus is "god" of the Pokemon World, but it does heavily hint at it.

If this is just for evos of Gen.I pokes, then here's my opinions:

Electivire-love it, love Elekid, hate the original Electabuzz
Magmortar-Naff.But then again, i only like Ninetales,Arcanine and Charizard out of ANY fire type
Tangrowth-wtf is it?
Lickilicky-Crazy got crazier again.woot!!
Ambipom-is this Gen.I??Can't find it in LeafGreen.Still, the best.

I'm loving rhyperior and magmortar right now, purely for the sake of aesthetics.

Magmortar looks like a freaking Megaman X boss. How much more epic can you get? Every time I think it'll make an epic appearance in the anime, I picture fire blast coming from one cannon and solarbeam from the other.

Rhyperior looks like a walking fortress. it has a pretty aggressive moveset to go along with that. I am using it, but its utter lack of speed and s. def. are frustrating the living crap out of me.

i know magmar is weak, but it didnt really need an evolution. Lickilicky and Tangrowth are not the best and dont get me started on Probopass.

I can put tolerate most of them, the only one that really makes me sick is Lickilicky. I'm never letting my Lickitung evolve into that thing.
I actually think Magnezone is pretty cool. I didn't think I would like it at all when I first heard about it, then it started to grow on me as soon as I saw it.

I really don't need my Pokemon to be overwhelmingly powerful. I never do any competitive fighting, most of the fun I get out of the games is from training and raising Pokemon. I would me completely content using a Magmar even if it never evolved.

EDIT: I can't believe all the Lickitung hate I'm seeing. Lickitung has been a favorite of mine since I was little. Everything about it just screams 'awesome.' :P
