5th Gen B/W Evolutions Discussion

[solarowl]

I guess one evolving legendary would be fine. But if they make it a habit it wouldn't be as interested in each one.

 

[GlitchCity]

Soooo many Evolution add-ons. Actually Im quite disappointed with the Monozu family.

Level freaking 64! 64 YO!!!! Sixty penguins flipper four!!! If Im not mistaken, this is the first pokemon that takes so long to get to its final stage. Well that proves it. Dragon Pokemon are not meant for patient people lol.

64, seriously Game Freak? Seesh! I think Generation 5 proved to be the most challenging so far.

What's to be disappointed over? It's one of the most powerful Pokemon of all time, it's not like you can just catch a Monozu and BAM instant killing machine. The higher evolution levels balance out the insane stats on a lot of these Unova Pokemon. But it's worth it in the long run.

 

[インフェルノの津波]

But by the time you get it the Storyline is nearly over, which kind of...Sucks. Unless you grind grind grind, you probably won't have a Sazando until after you beat N.

If you dissaprove of grinding Monozu's line so much, there's an easier
alternative in the Axew line. The quality of our attack stat and movepool is
on par with that of the pseudo-legendary pokemon, we just don't need to be trained as much before we become sweeping machines. I'm just as useful, if not more useful
than Hydreigon.

Hydreigon outspeeds (by a point) and OHKO's with Draco Meteor though, and has the benefit of being the only specially-oriented Pseudo-legendary. >:]

Granted, evolving at 47 instead of 64 is a big plus.

 

[solarowl]

I don't see much of a big deal, since most of you are training it to level 80 and higher.
But if you want to use it in the storyline, it will be a lot harder since you only get it so far in the game. Plus, you gotta grind a lot. I love grinding, but lots of people hate it, so it will be challenging. I currently already have one in my Black. But I did grind a lotand use action replay.

You mean Dragon Pokemon aren't meant for "Impatient" People lol.
Wow that is really high for one evolution 0_0...

 

[Sabrewulf238]

But don't you think that would ruin the purpose of the word legendary?
I mean look at the small legendaries.. they look weak and lacking in potential.. like they need to evolve. But in fact they are just little boxes of dynamite waiting to blow up and totally destroy you. I love that kind of thing with legendaries, and I think it would be a little bit ruined if an evolving legendary came up..

That's just my opinion, but I just really don't like the idea. XD;
​

Isn't it always theorized in the pokemon world that many Legendary pokemon started out as ordinary pokemon not as strong? At least I'm pretty sure I read about that somewhere.

Maybe a pokemon....not necessarily evolves but "develops" into a Legendary with your help in-game. That would be interesting.

 

[Logiedan]

A lot of the evolutions for B/W Pokémon are around 40+, but then again, they do only have one evolution. Monozu is a powerful pseudo, so I'll say level 64 is /kinda/ reasonable.

 

[blue]

Yeah, I was amazed when I seen some of the Levels that Pokémon evolve at in Gen V, so many above 50, I've seen lots of 54's some 58's and now 64! that's the highest so far!

 

[Zhinc]

Like, whoa. 64? Then again, I suppose if all the Pokemon are evolving later then expected in this region, at least it won't be, like, all the trainers you're battling have a bunch of fully evolved Pokemon and you don't have any. Unless the trainers like to hack like Faulkner and Lance, of course (a level nine Pidgeotto? Really?). (:

It's a pretty drastic change from the past, but it makes a bit more sense to me. I kinda see the levels almost like age sometimes, so, yeah, I might expect it to take 60+ years for something that powerful to develop its full potential. It's an awkward comparison, I'll grant you, but it's always how I kinda saw it in my head.

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

I've noticed that Dragon Pokemon have always had the sorta "reputation", so to speak, of evolving at really high levels. Take something like Salamence or Dragonite, who both evolve at 50+. The only exception I can think of at this point is Flygon, who I believe evolves at 44 or 45, which is the lowest level for a fully-evolved dragon-type Pokemon.

True true they do evolve at incredibly high levels
Though I wish it evolved at level 60 as most dragon Pokemon evolve in multiples of 5 (ex: 35,45,50,55)
Ps: Altaria is the lowest at 35 of all Fully evolved dragon Pokemon but Flygon is close second.

Trainers will have to work a lot harder this Gen definitely. :|

Grinding is a hell easier than other games. After getting the Lucky Egg, you can attach it to a weak Pokemon, ride a bike in the grass repelling till you'll encounter an Audino. Pokemon usually gets at least 5000 exp from a single Lv.25 Audino that way.
I don't really think that the evolution changes make the game harder. After all, it's way easier to grind. For example, i had a Beeheeyem and Gothitelle before Fuuro.

 

[Gilgαmesh]

This is going to be fun, with all the weird evolution levels. Due to my play style it's going to make one heck on an interesting team.

I'm thinking it's going to be interesting too. xDD I'm thinking because there's going to be so much to do and so many battles to face, by the time we end up beating the Elite Four or beating the game pretty much, our Pokemon are going to be high leveled enough(probably 50+, or way more than that) that grinding(whether for evolutions or not) won't even matter as much anymore, nor will it be a huge issue.

 

[Comedic-Sidekick]

I somewhat like the evolutions, although in Mijumaru's case I'd rather keep him as Futachimaru... And speaking of evolutions, I was pretty bummed when they didn't make any more evos for the original/older Pokemon like Farfetch'd and Heracross. Not even any pre-evos... :/

 

[metalflygon08]

With Audino being the Metal Slimes of Pokemon, grinding isn't as bad, and the later levels represent where you get the Pokemon, like Braviary, it's prevo is about 34, so you only need to raise it 20 levels, which is a normal amount, same with Dieno, 20 levels to evolve one time is common for psuedo-legends, you get dratini's around level 20 so there's 20 levels to dragonair.

 

[PaxAmericana]

you get dratini's around level 20 so there's 20 levels to dragonair.

Dratini evolves at level 30 into Dragonair and at level 55 into Dragonite!

 

[Ho-Oh]

Dratini evolves at level 30 into Dragonair and at level 55 into Dragonite!

That's unrelated to B/W, though. :(

But! I think our psuedos have changed a lot since Kanto, sooo actually stating the evolutions is a good thing kinda. I think it's just the final evolution of Sazandora is throwing everyone off, whereas Dratini - Dragonair, as mentioned by both of you seems normal now. Since well, 55 > 64 for a psuedo final evolution is waaaay high.
