Pokemon that didn't need extra evolutions.

    What are some Pokemon that you think should not have gotten extra evos? For me, Magneton, Goldbat, Magmar and Onix come to mind. I think they were good as-is and their evos make them look worse.

    I keep thinking your name is Akzeriuth. Too much Tales of the Abyss. Anyway, moving to Pokemon General since this is about the Pokemon, not the games.

    AMBIPOM DOES NOT NEED TO EXIST BTW.

    I feel asif some 4th Gen Pokemon didn't need to be. Porygon Z, Ambipom to name a few.

    Honestly, I feel that Glaceon and Leafeon didn't need to be created.

    Magneton, Golbat & Onix deserved evolutions. Crobat and Steelix are the best 8D

    Magnezone just ruins the feel of Magnemite and Magneton.
    I quite like Magmortar, but Electivire ruins the great Electabuzz.
    I hated Golbat, and love Crobat
    I like Steelix, but I also like Onix.
    Many evolutions didn't need to be made, I just can't think of any currently :L

    I think Roselia shouldn't have one, Roserade is a curse. xD

    Roselia --> Roserade
    Rhydon --> Rhypherior
    Magmar --> Magmotar
    Electabuzz --> Electivire
    Magneton --> Magnezone

    ...pretty much most of the 1st generation pokemon that were given an extra, rather supreme epic evolution during the 4th gen. They were already as epic as they were during the first gen!

    I think Onix needs a pre-evolution. Just sayin'.

    Rhydon (Rhyperior is just SO unneeded, it kinda irks me that GF had to go and add it to the Rhydon line)
    Misdreavus (Mismagius is just plain ugly, and it ruins Misdreavus for me T_T)
    Magneton (Magnezone looks absolutely horrid, and it destroyed the Magnemite line, IMO)

    Almost every evolution that was added in the 4th generation is just completely unneeded. But there's some exceptions... like Weavile and Roserade. :3

    Nosepass? Probopass kinda makes me think "wth is that?" even though I've seen it about a hundred times on battle frontier.

    And Electabuzz. It was bad enough giving him such a weird pre-evo. :L

    Anything that was given an evolution in a generation after the one it debuted in.
    Magnezone and Rhyperior are the most offensive.

    Ambipom - Ruined the epicness of Aipom.
    Honchkrow - This one was actually pretty good. I really liked this evolution.
    Mismagius - Doesn't seem good with physical appearance but it's okay in Competitive Play.
    Magnezone - I think it's okay, but still unnecessary.
    Lickilicky - Not that good, and Lickitung was okay from the get-go.
    Rhyperior - It's pretty good, but Rhydon was fine.
    Tangrowth - An okay addition.
    Electivire - I actually think this was awesome for both Electabuzz and Magmar.
    Togekiss - Togetic was pretty good but they upgraded it with an even better Togetic.
    Yanmega - Not needed at all.
    Leafeon and Glaceon - The Eeveelution lines needed more evolutions, I liked this.
    Gliscor - Nice evolution Gligar!
    Mamoswine - Reminds me of a pig for some reason...
    Porygon - Z - It;s okay, but just doesn't look and move right.
    Gallade - Definitely passed my test.
    Probopass - Eh.....
    Dusknoir - I really like this Evolution, and I think Dusclops needed it.
    Froslass - Okay, in my opinion.

    Nosepass didn't need a evo. This just might be me but when i saw Probopass i was immedietly reminded of Hitler for some reason.

    Magnetons evo. Nothing agenst giving it a evo, its just Magnazone looks... weird.
