I think not, the new eves were... Random however when diamond is your first game, they grow on you, also I do agree that they should've made new evo lines, not just PROBOPASSES AND MAGMORTARS

It's also because Third Gen. has nearly no Cross-Gen Evos. The only ones that I remember from Third Gen. to have a Cross-Gen Evo with previous Gen. is Azurill and Wynaut.

I actually think they didn't have enough evolutions. For me the more the marrier :D

I think they had a reasonable amount of new evolutions. Hoenn didn't have that much so its making up for it.

I think snorlax was ok without that preevolution (I mean, it doesn't mean anything, you would evolve it anyway).

most of the evolutions have dumb looks (poor lickitung... he was so cool...)

Yeah that maybe true but I'm sure people weren't going to try and attempt to use Gligar, Yanma, or even Nosepass without the inclusion of these evolutions :/.

HEY GUESS WHAT let me prove you wrong
magby
smoochum
azumarril (i don't know what marrils pre-evolution is called)
elekid
pichu
cleffa
igglybuff
tyrogue

Hell all of those pokemon suck and none of them are from 4th gen
I could have done without all of the pre-evelutions that require friendship
blame 2nd gen not 4th gen for "baby" pokemon

then the second part of your post is just you not liking sprites, nothing to do with unneeded evolutions or being too many evolutions. EDIT: yeah i hate some of the sprites every generation; dunsparce just makes me cringe but some of them like rhyperior and magnezone are just badass
yeah i beat you in honorable forum combat :)

i agree about the dumb looking ones, PROBEPASS...cmon gamefreak. although some like yanmega and hinchkrow were both needed and great.

i think that many baby pokemon came from johto, hoenn just added new pokemon ( i dont remember evolutions)(wynaut is a preevolution), sinnoh came with a HUGE number of evolutions, making a lot of kanto pokemon stronger(and also some of johto)(and hoenn). I don't consider them to look dumb, actually i loved the glaceon design. And I expect that the 5th generation to include mawile and sableye evolutions. I also want other pokemon to evolve, such as farfetch'd, pachirisu, chatot, kecleon(im not sure about this one, i think the design would be hideous!), and luvdisc. But i don't know if they will put them all in one generation.

Sorry for my bad english...

rhyperior, probopass, magnezone & magmortar are horrible

yanmega, gliscor, leafeon, glaceon, electivire, & honchkrow were best evolution ideas yet

the rest were meh.

I think that the only frustrating part about Gen IV's evolutions is that you didn't get most of the base pokemon during normal gameplay. I mean, Gallade was cool, but you couldn't get Ralts until after you beat the Elite 4. Magmortar and Electivire required using Ruby and Sapphire through the dongle method. I wish these pokemon were just available during normal playthroughs.

Also, I agree that most baby pokemon are worthless, but Magby, Elekid, and Smoochum don't fit in that category. Those three are amazing in their own right.

I fully disagree. The new evolutions provided much more fun to the gameplay, and the designs were decent.

Agreed. These Pokemon were released four years ago, and we're still complaining, even after seeing what most of these Pokemon can do in battle? I know we're all entitled to our own opinions, but this topic is just too old to be bothered with now. That's just what I think. As far as the Pokemon, I thought there were too many at the time, yes, but I eventually did grow on a few (I love Togekiss, Porygon-Z, Leafeon, and Glaceon). We're stuck with them foreverrrr.

This. Very much so. Everything that was in Platinum's extended pokedex should've been in the regional dex in Diamond/Pearl.

It made the addition of several of the best GenIV pokemon like Porygon-Z, Electivire, and Gliscor feel utterly pointless and this is reason #352 why I hate the Sinnoh games more than any other Pokemon game. >_<

Complaining about this topic is pointless. Although I will offer my side of the argument, courtesy of boredom.

I disagree with this topic because there really isn't a limit as to how many new evolutions there can be. New evolutions can help you fill your Pokédex. Even if you don't end up using them in battle, it's always fun to see how the evolved form of a Pokémon is designed.

I just stoped caring some time in the 4th gen. I think that it was mostly that I don't like the new style of pokemon, but this is another factor that turned me off. I think that nintendo is just going for the quick money. It's kind of like how a pilot episode of a show is usually better than the later episodes.

@nickoftime i think you missed the entire point of the what the guy you quoted said.


In no way was he going and insulting the fourth gen, he was just saying there was no need to add a pre evo. and he wasstnt complaining about sprites, he was saying he didnt like the design of some of them in general.

There was a fairly amount of eveolutions but they were pretty good.
I expect more evolutions of older pokemon to come out such as Milktank, or Tauros.

extra eeveelutions(not from kanto) have come in pairs in generation II and IV, so I expect to see 2 new eeveelutions in Black and White.

i kinda hope they skip new eeveelutions in B&W and go for pokeomn that really need new evolutions. I think farfecthed and many others really need an Evo way before we get another eevee one.
