Just to refresh your mind, when a Pokémon evolves and you don't have an Everstone, you can press B to cancel it. So which Pokémon do you cancel?

I didn't let my Bulbasaur or Squirtle evolve in Yellow version, because I wanted my party to be like the anime.

I don't like to evolve Nidorino/rina. They're so cool looking...and then they evolve and it's just meh. :( I don't care much for stats anyway, so it's fine to just have middle evos. I don't like evolving Dragonair either. It's my favorite Dragon type. Nothing against Dragonite, but Dragonair looks a lot cooler. And if I ever had a shiny one, I would NEVER evolve it into Dragonite. ._. That thing is ugly.

I do evolve my Quilava though, I know you're all ashamed of me.

As for me, I'm usually one of the biggest power > looks guys, but I will refuse to evolve a Magneton or a Lickitung. D:

I would NEVER let my precious lickitung evolve...lickilicky is too damn ugly.
Tangela and Budew (or whatever roselia's pre-vo is) will also never evolve, their evo's are also ugly.(Roserade is cool-looking, but I prefer budew.)
I have many, many, many pokemon I would never evolve, but these are the only ones I could think of.

Absolutely! Magneton too! We, like, share a brain.

I did keep my Togetic on my HG from evolving for the longest time (I hate the design of Togekiss >_>) But I eventually gave in due to the ability to learn Aura Sphere and better stats...I wish I could have kept the sprite for Togetic
When I was young, there were only 151 Pokemon, and Pluto was a planet...

I do have to agree with those that said Lickitung. I was on the band bus last year, and my friend was in the back of the bus and shouted something about trading him a Lickylicky...no...comment. Just...ain't evolving it for...those reasons...I don't even say it's name in public. Hell, I forget that it's even a Pokemon. :B

Wait, that means there are others like me?

I didn't evolve my Quilava (well, only one. All the others are Typhlosions), my Pikachu (only because of Light Ball), and Pidgeotto (Silver Version nostalgia).

I never evolve any of my Pokémon after a certain point.

That certain point is their peak evolutions.

Yeah, I always evolve. If there's moves that I miss through that, I go see the Move Tutor. And then I decide if I want those.

Usually if there's a Pokemon I really like whose unevolved forms I prefer (Psyduck, Dragonair, etc.) I usually either don't bother catching/raising them, or I do and just leave them in the PC.

Except for my Slugma. His name is Jello and he's squishy and cute and helps me hatch my eggs. :D

Chimchar.

I don't evolve it until it learns Slack Off. Because I tend to capture Budew when I get a Chimchar as my starter, I can still defeat Roark with ease.

Facade + Slack Off by level up? Yes please :D

I also tend to keep Togepi until it's learned all its' moves. Just because it levels faster than Togetic, despite identical level-up movesets.

Oh, and Dratini, Larvitar, Bagon, Beldum, Gible. I evolve them one level before the lowest level for their final form, i.e:

Dratini -lv.54-> Dragonair -lv.55-> Dragonite. Just because I want my Dragonites and Tyranitars faster.

Well, I never evolve Lickitongue it's evolution is pretty ugly and I don't care much for it's stat increase or learnset.
Umm, in Ruby for a bit I cancelled my Marshtomp's evolution cause I got a bit scared xD When I saw Swampert I let it evolve..xP
I prefer Dratini's look over both Dragonair AND Dragonite's, I did try to train one up but it's stats are terrible so I didn't get past level 50.
There are various pokemon I wouldn't mind not evolving when I raised, but just have because I didn't impulse cancel....(Sandshrew, Pichu, Electabuzz, Scyther, Rhydon, Croagunk...I could probably go on)

Graveler, Kadabra, Haunter and friends. When playing on an emulator, I'm generally too lazy to bother with TGB Dual and VBA Link and that stuff, and only will evolve them on rare occassions, like for example when I have like 3 of them on the team. When not playing on an emulator, I don't even have the chance to evolve, so yeah.

Ok, doesn't quite fit the topic, but since this is the only kind of Pokemon I regularly don't evolve... (I have done that Quilava thing in younger years one time or two though)
