    Is it just me, or do most of these seem completely unnecessary?

    I agree with the first post. Some of them are pretty good, but most of them are daft.

  • I agree with Dingbat. I like most of them, but the Magmar, Tangela, Lickitung, Chansey, and Nosepass evolutions all suck hard. However, I absolutely love the evo/prevos of Murkrow, Snorlax, Magneton, Mantine, Kirlia, Dusclops, Togetic, Yanma, Eevee, Snorunt, and Piloswine. The other ones are just kinda meh. So, the good outweighs the bad for me but, Man! Tangela and Magmar's evolutions really stink...

  • Eh...I'll just say I hate the Tangela, Lickitung, Magneton, Dusclops, Kiralia, Roselia, Togetic, Yanma, and Nosepass evos... A lot of those just make me wonder, "Why?"

    The Rhydon evo, while looking awesome, is completely uncessary IMO. Rhydon was big and bad enough on its own, giving it an evo just takes away what made it awesome

    The new Eeveelutions were enevitable...but why did it have to be Grass and Ice types? Vaporeon already learns ice attacks on its own! Why not have a Ghost Eeveelution, or perhaps Steel?

  • i'll agree, the kirlia, the chansey, electabuzz and magmar, piloswine, snorunt, roselia, nosepass, rhydon, and ice eevee evolutions aren't necessary whatsoever. a ghost eevee wouldn't be necessary considering you have umbreon to contend in quite the way a ghost pokemon might, but a steel pokemon would be a much better replacement for the ice.

    the new species of pokemon seem to be even better contenders than most of these evos anyway.

  • I like them actually. Not all of them, of course, such as Togetic's, Nosepass's and Gardenvoir's, but some of them are very, very cool. I think they're new move arsenal will make them even cooler, IMO.

  • My esteemed opinion on these new evolutions:

    Spoiler:


    I disliked many of these at first, but they've really started growing on me. Many of these evolutions are for Pokemon that needed them desperately. I noticed in Ruby and Sapphire, I really had a hard time finding any Pokemon that I could use easily while trying to stray from my usual favorites (Blastoise, Ninetales, etc.) and almost all of these are welcome changes. I only hate two or three of the new ones.

  • Heh, I agree whole heartedly with Blastoise with all of them except for Magneton's evolution, Yanma's Evolution, and Snorlax's pre-evolution. I like those three personally. Though, maybe it's just moi...

  • I'm not too happy with the lack of Game Freak's creavity but hey if they're pokemon, I'll experiement with them to see how they work with me.

    Munchlax's pre evolution and Murkrow's/Misdrevaus's evolutions are just awesome IMO.

  • I like most of them.
    This question may seem a little awkward considering evos of original pokemon was the main focus of the 4th generation

  • I'm kinda glad they finally made a grass type evo of Eevee. But Nosepass creeps me out. I think thats the only one that SHOULD stay a no evo. all the rest is meh, Dusclops evo dosen't look like it should evoled from it. and the apom evo was predictible.

  • Some of those don't look like real Pokemon, or any kind of evolve form... but you left out the evolved form of roselia and electabuzz. In my opinion they all look like deformed deoxys, I mean with the arms and all.

    Oh, my mistake. Electabuzz is there. I apologize.
