Uhh, this shouldn't be based entirely on looks. Of course there are personal preferences, but just because a pokemon looks messed up, it suddenly doesn't need its evolution? Most of these weird looking pokemon needed an evolution to at least reach the UU or standard tier, and give players a reason to catch them. I mean really, how many late game teams with a gligar, while alot of them do have a gliscor.

Gamefreak should focus on fixing all of their pokemon, instead of just improving perfectly fine ones.

Btw they should actually make an evolution line when they make the game, instead of adding it 7 years later... I mean so what? Make it a bit harder or weaker to evolve, or at least make some of the basics really strong...

Like luvdisc, what is up with that?

I totally agree that stantler, quilfish, corsola, and any of its kind should be considered, instead of frequently used pokemon such as rhydon, magmar, and electrabuzz.

I was also hoping that glalie could evolve into a tier 3, I'm really more of a stronger pokemon fan, as opposed to the split gender which really just means

Choice of : 2 cool looking different gender average pokemon
or 1 average looking tier 3 pokemon

Of course the touch to kirlia was pretty nice, but they should have done that when they released ruby, sapphire and emerald. Save themselves all the trouble of fixing stats and importing them later. Really the way gamefreak is running it now, they're fed up with editing and fixing old pokemon which should have been fixed in the first place.

My opinion... Over and Out ;)

Because Farfetch'd is retarded already, where as they made Magmar and Tangela retarded.

Electivire, Togekiss (which looks naff against Shaymin-S, but is still a rare breed), and Ambipom are awesome (Nasty Plot is only good competitively though)

I don't like Probopass. I don't get how Magikarp evolves into Gyarados, or Remoraid into Octillery, or Remoraid into Milotic. That makes no sense!

How in earth can you make a Remraid evolve into a Milotic?!?!!?
And Magikarp's evolution revolves around a Japanese/Chinese myth of a Koi fish jumping to the top of a waterfall and turning into a dragon.

Corsola, Delibird, Dunsparce, Farfetch'd, Girafarig, Shuckle, Stantler and Qwilfish were needed.
I agree. Especially to those above bolded.
And I would add Tropius to that list of those "needy" ones too. However, I think Shuckle is fine the way it is. It's supposed to be defensive and I don't think it'll get much better than the way it already is.

I really liked Dusknoir, Togekiss (am I the only one??? D= ), Mismagius, Yanmega, Weavile, and Honchkrow.
Rhyperior and Magmortar were TERRIBLE. Electivire was okay.

Rhyperior doesn't even look cool. Electivire is passable, though. I don't think evolution should be a choice between stats and aesthetics.
A couple Gen IV Pokemon look like they should evolve, but don't, like Pachirisu and Carnivine. I'd also like to see a Gen II style evolution for Stantler, Heracross, Dunsparce, and Qwilfish.
The point of having an evolution is to improve on stats, open doors to new strategies, and create a fiercer looking Pokemon. It's an adaptation.

I wasn't too impressed with the new evos for Gen I and II. And then there's Purugly, one of my least favorite Pokemon. Seriously, whose bright idea was that?

Oh yeah I totally forgot about Dusknoir. At first I was like Oh, Dusclops+Reaper Cloth, i'm gonna have me a dope reaper ghost pokemon! But then it evolves and it doesn't look anything at all like a reaper, and I don't just mean the fact that it doesn't have a scythe.

I mean I understand they wanted it to still look kind of like its previous evolution, but they still could of made it look more reaper like AND have it look like it predecessor.

I personally believe Budew was a worthless Pokemon to make.
And I don't like Cherrim's evolution, due to the fact it only looks good temporarily, and it's an ugly Pokemon when it's all "pruned" up. >.<

They need an evolution for a Farfetch'D, badly, but what kind of Pokemon could that be?

I don't like Roserade. It's not pretty like Roselia! And I really dislike Electivire and Magmortar. Mainly aesthetically though, 'cause I don't like them all big and ugly.

I thought Roserade was okay, but I agree that Electivire and Magmortar are lame compared to their predecessors.

Rhyperior- I kind of like Rhyperior! Its ability makes it a good Pokmon as well as its stats. (It defeated a Mewtwo!) It does look a lot stranger than Rhydon, though...

Duskinoir- Dusclops is a lot better all thanks to this evo! 70 Atk to 100 Atk as well as higher Defense, Will-O-Wisp,a healing move that can take HP away from the other Pokemon, and a Ghost-typed Quick Attack to compensate for low Speed! What's not to love?

Gliscor-Eh....No. Even though Gliscor has purpose in the OU environment, it still can't block Rapid Spinners like Duskinoir. It also will get creamed if hit by an Ice Beam.
It does look like Gligar, though...

Togekiss- ANOTHER Nomal-Flying type to add to the Dex? I don't think so.

Electivire- Electric types..... Can't really trust any of 'em except Jolteon. Anyway...125 Atk makes it a brutal attacker, but what of it? Gyarados humiliates the poor thing with one Earthquake thanks to its low Special Attack stopping Gyarados from dying.

Heck, with Pokemon like Tyranitar, Hippowdon, and Rhyperior running amok in the OU environment, you might as well say Electrive is a Electric time bomb wating to lose.

Magmortar- Yet another Pokemon I just plain HATE. It looks like a mentally retarded Bowser if you ask me.(Sorry, Bowser fans!) It dosen't even deserve to be in the Dex!

Magnezone-Another Electric type that Gyarados can kill easily. The only thing that's positive about it is it Special Attack. Its Defense is good, but not good enough.
On top of that it's just plain ugly.

I agree with you on this statement

they've could've at least made Rhyperior part steel to help it out a little because in my opinion it still gets Koed pretty quickly

I kinda like the Electric type. It only has one weakness on its own, and it's got some decent pokemon. I think it's the most underrepresented type in the whole dex! If you're so worried about Electivire's low Sp. Attack and Def, feed it carbos and teach it Thunder Punch.

What pokemon really needs an evo? TROPIUS! I can imagine it evolving to be a Grass-Dragon. I would totally train that, and it would be a unique typing. I don't think they really changed the trainer's life when Porygon-Z came out.


...Actually, Porygon-Z is DRASTICALLY different from Porygon2 in play style. Z has lower defenses and a different ability to make sure it doesn't out-class 2, rather be an offensive counterpart to 2 (like Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee).

I, personally, love Togekiss.
It made the Togepi line so much stronger.

I just don't think Tangrowth was needed. Seriously, Who uses it?

One question though .o. is Weavile a Hoenn or Sinnoh evo? If it's Sinnoh now THAT is an awesome design.
Rhyperior I may agree but they are useful. Magmortar if it wasn't for the arms they should of made it the top voted stupid evo ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tangrowth they're to me one of the better evo's of sinnoh and I don't use it because you need to use pal park to get tangela and I don't have firered/leafgreen I have saphire so either way I couldn't even get a tangela.
Another thing don't judge a pokemon by their looks Smoochum is like the stupidest looking pokemon I ever seen but I was amazed by how good it's move set was so don't say rhyperior sucks they are one of the most useful pokemon I ever came across

I generally like the new evos, maybe game freak is losing it, idk. I was in fifth grade when the original games came out and I felt it was totally incomplete, lickilicky makes my day every time I see it :P electivire and magmortar sprites kind of suck though imo...

I agree that there are no where near enough fire types or electric types. they almost put more effort into "new eevee" sprites than they do with adding anything truly meaningful -- such as an electric type that isn't a cat, hamster or squirrel (or ampharos I mean wth even is that thing? yuck... i prefer the sheep.), can we get an electric lizard please? and why are so many of the non-legendary(or starter) fire pokémon dogs! fire-breathing dogs? for crying out loud... lol

Yeah, i get what you mean, dusclops didnt need an evo, making a relatively new pokemon with 2 phases evolve again just screams out filler. GameFreak needs a little hiatus with some shrooms and marijuana. I dont wanna see evos of pokemon i already know *cough*tangrowthmammoswinelickily*cough* i wanna see NEW pokemon.

Person above me, Yes i agree with you too, GameFreak is definately losing it. By just looking at Drifblim and Drifloon, i can tell GF came up with those pokemon within 1 hour. Anyone can tell that GF is desporate for fillers. I wish GF would put just as much thought into ordinary pokemon like they come up with legendaries. Pikachu was awesome when it first came out, Plusle and Minun were kind of cool, expanding the electric rat family and all, but GF killed it with Pachirisu...
