5th Gen Pokemon Evolve so late....

[ElectricScyther]

When my Litwick was lower in level and unevolved I kept thinking, "Okay, Litwick didn't evolve at level 35, so it must evolve at level 36." It wore me out and I had to look that stuff up SO many times.

Personally, I don't really mine. Sure, it is a little annoying, but it is more of a challenge that you have the 'worst' form of the Pokemon till later.​

I can't stand it! I'm trying to complete the dex and it's such a pain!

Also, I really want the electric lamprey, but it takes so long to evolve!

Probably has to do with how powerful a lot of them are now.

 

[Pikachu-dance!]

it doesnt affect me because generally because normally i dont evolve my pokemon so they stay cute :)

I think it just makes the game more fun. As others have stated, it gives you something to look forward to while training your pokemon. =D

The dragon types like Hydreigon don't really count towards the late evolving thing, as most dragon types don't evolve until they're in the 50s anyway (with the exception of Altaria, but it's the weakest Dragon type so...)

And why exactly shouldn't it count? Prior to this generation, nothing evolved later than Lv. 55, now we have a number of Pokemon that don't reach their final form until Lv. 56 or greater.

I think it's great, it makes trainers really have to work for that full pokedex. But on the training front they are a pain in the butt to train (My stupid Deino didn't get to a Zweilous without 4 rare candies because it can't stay alive...) but they do have the highest leveled wild pokemon of any region, which makes training them a bit easier.

Doesn't Platinum technically have these games beat, with Lv. 100 wild Magikarp?
