Okay, I have been seeing a pattern with the new evolutionary and pre-evolutionary lines of each generation. Every new form is gotten in a way that was impossible in previous games.

For example:
You cannot breed in RBY, thus no Pichu, Elekid, etc.
You cannot not trade with hold items in RBY.
Pokemon hold items weren't used for breeding in GSC.
You don't have access to a Protector, Dusk Stone, Rose Incense, etc. in RSE.

So the point is, up until now, the new evolutions were the result of cases which were impossible in the past. But now we have some exceptions:

Piloswine can learn Ancientpower in previous games, via breeding.
Lickitung can learn Rollout in previous games, via Emerald Move Tutor.

Anyone think this to be odd as well, or am I just acting crazy again, heh. The one thought that came to mind is that perhaps they'll only evolve in Sinnoh when they learn the moves. As in, it wouldn't occur in the GSC remake.

And if not, I wonder if we'll ever see Lapras evolve from a Water Stone. XD

I dont see this being that weird. The same way how we are discovering things now and when we look at the pass it makes no sense. Thats how it is for Pokemon basically

It's obviously something done on purpose. It wouldn't make sense if Slowpoke evolved into Slowking with a Water Stone because players would ask "Why couldn't I do this in R/B/Y?".

The only strange thing is what you mentioned, which is the only thing that could be done in the past games. However, they should stick with new evolution stones, hold items and hold-item trading, because I think Move Evolutions, Location Evolutions and the Incenses are the stupidest kind of adding Pokémon.
