Well...in every generation we get new evolutions for all kind of pokemons...
some of them already have evolutions and some of them dont have any evolutions..
but everyone has that Certain pokemon that is ruined for him Because of its new evoltuion.

For example :
when the pokemon series just strated in gen 1 , two of my Favorite pokemons were rhyhorn and rhydon,
there were just awesome pokemons at the time...
and then , they Decided to add a stage 2 evolution for pokemon that Clearly Known for only one evolution stage, - rhyperior.
why??
they just took a classic pokemon and ruined it...
rhyperior is Ridiculous, its look like someone Combined an american football player with ryhdon

lol... its just look perrty funny to me.
and its Definitely ruined that pokemon for me...
just miss the old days when rhyperior wasn't around you know..

anyways...so what is your least favorite new pokemon evolution thats ruined you a Certain pokemon that you love so much?

My least favorite... is this thing.



I mean sure I know Magmar is strange looking but it went from being a duck eternally on fire to being some kind of strange hell clown. WHAT IS THIS MONSTROSITY!?

I like a lot of new Pokémon evolutions, especially the ones in Sinnoh. Shouldn't this also count the evolutions in Johto, by the way? :0

If I were to pick one, it'll have be Probopass. It's actually more how annoying it is in battle than it is its design. Yes, it has a strange design, but not as strange as its pre-evolution.

Yeah, a lot of the gen 4 ones actually. I agree about Magmortar and Probopass, those are just plain ugly and don't add much to their prevos.

Also Tangrowth! They could have created a Tarzan like creature but instead they opted for not-flying spaghetti monster.

I really like Rhyperior though. It looks like a good, extra bulky step onwards from Rhydon. I should get one in a RP already!

RHYPERIOR IS AWESOME YOU-

Least favourite evolution? Probably Lickilicky or Glaceon. They look stupid to the max.

One of those Pokémon that I dislike a little appearance-wise, in comparison to its pre-evolution, is Roserade.

Although its body structure and all are nice, but what puts me off regarding this Pokémon is its hair, which is white. If you ask me, seeing the color on it like this seems to be rather out-of-place in my eyes, causing me not to grow fond. If these hair were, say, dark-green, I feel things would have been much better for it.

Though, I do like Roserade when it comes to battling and whatnot; in terms of this, the Pokémon seemingly has some great capabilities (have used it before, and it was definitely fun to utilize).

The majority of the Generation IV evolutions were actualy in favour for me, most of the Pokemon that received them sort of needed them IMO. The only one I have an issue with is Ambipom, I'm not sure why but it's just not as creative as the likes of Froslass or Mismagius.

Rhyperior and Magmortar for me.

I mean, most of the new evolutions I was rather "meh" about, and that actually applies to the two I listed; they just happen to be the most meh. Rhyperior might have looked better to me had it not had that orange (seriously, that orange does not mix well with that gray to me), and Magmortar....the hands. The hands bug me. Why.

Although honorable mention to Lickilicky because just...no.

The "hair" on Roserade's head is actually giant white rose petals. Its head is basically a giant rose. It's not entirely the most dumb looking evolution here, especially when it's wearing a scarf.

And good god I forgot about Lickylicky and Ambipom. Especially Ambipom; that thing looks horrendous.

To be fair- adding the Oakland Raiders to anything is bound to make it a disaster ;)

As for myself, I found a lot of the new evolutions added in Gen IV very polarizing- I either loved them or hated them, with very few falling in the middle of that spectrum. The ones that stand out to me as the worst though were Rhyperior, Lickylicky, Tangrowth, and Probopass (not that I liked Nosepass anyway).

Rhyperior is the biggest turd anyone could have every imagined. I hope it's Rhydon that eventually gets a Mega and not Rhyperior. Rhyperior sucks so bad, I'd make a fund for them all to be able to be put out of their misery by Nurse Joy.

And Magnezone. As much as People hated Magneton, Magnezone just looks kind of stupid to me.

If you give:

You get 0.

I at least like most pokemon, so on average it wasn't successful in gen 4, though there are some good designs that came out of it.

Gen 2 did a great job, much better and simpler yet effective designs with the evolutionary upgrades. Some of the gen 4 ones seem to be geared toward the 4 year old that thinks giant super cool bulky designs are like awesome and stuff. The designs generally, compared to other pokemon designs, don't really feel authentic.

I agree about Rhyperior, beyond disliking the design it just doesn't fit in with the rest of that evolution chain, at all. Just what.

I also wasn't really fond of Licklicky or Magmortar, and I didn't like either of Mewtwo's mega evolutions.

As i've mentioned before, I like most of the new evolutions that were present in later generations, but Lickilicky and Probopass are still at the bottom for me. I don't hate most of them, like Magmortar or even Tangrowth, but those former two are just not appealing to me whatsoever.

I really like Nosepass and the Easter Island moai theme it has going on. I don't like how they just evolved it into a Mario parody. If you don't know how to evolve a Pokémon don't evolve them at all....

Lickilicky is another I'm not that fond about. I don't get why they made the most integral part of Lickitung (his tongue) smaller when he evolved.

Now that I think about it, Ambipom is another I don't really get. The design looks really awkward.

Rhyperior absolutely ruined that line for me, in the past I might've used Rhydon on my team, but now I don't even consider it. :/
