    I never refuse to evolve my Pokemon, I like them all to reach their full potential.

    The only ones I don't evolve are the ones that are earlier stages of an evolutionary set for collection purposes.

    Other than tier-based evos such as Chansey>Blissey... I'd have to say Vigoroth>Slaking. Yes, Slaking can spam Giga Impact, but if it's up against a ghost I'd be screwed.

    I always evolve my Pokemon. Although I had a hippy friend that refused to evolve Wartortle because he hates how Blastoise resembles a tank, because he hates anything military. He had quite an unhealthy hatred for Lt. Surge too, lol.

    My Shinx(s?)
    I have only evolved one and that was only for competitive reasons. The rest of my Shinx are unevolved, and I just refuse to evolve them, especially my Shiny Shinx that my friend gave me.

    Well....I like both Electabuzz and Electivire, so you bet I'm going to get two Electabuzz and only evolve one....

    But at the moment, I seriously dislike the thought of evolving my Buizel! He's just...well....cuter and cooler than Floatzel at the same time....I don't know what it is about Floatzel, I know he's scary, but so's Torterra to some people, but I don't like him that much...sadly, it means I never get Crunch, although I can tutor Ice Punch.

    I also tend not to evolve Quilava until I really can't win without the boost. It's not that I dislike Typhlosion, I just prefer Quilava, so once it's fully evolved, I always get a couple of eggs and keep a Cyndaquil and Quilava.

    Sunkern is too adorable to turn into that meh thing. And I must use it for the Pokethlon anyways.

    Churine gets an honorable mention, I don't really like what it evolves into either.

    Ivysaur, Wartortle, Grovyle, Dragonair, and Croconaw. All because their final stage in-game sprites have usually sucked one time or another.

    None. All my pokemon evolve. In my opinion it's rather cruel to refuse to make them evolve. I mean, if we really had pokemon in the real life, they'd probably want to grow up and change their appearence to become stronger and stronger.
    Because after all, evolving makes pokemons becoming better than they are from the beginning.
    I'm not attacking anyone, don't get me wrong. Those are just my thoughts. C:

    I'd also like to add on to this that I now have this new tactic of not evolving any pokémon until they hit level 30, and level 55-60 before they can evolve a further time. This is because I like to keep hold of the unevolved forms for a while....normally my starters evolve before or just after the first gym, and it always seems a shame that they spend most of their time in their 2nd stage of evolution....

    Furthermore, the way I see it is that if I get bored of their current form, and their next stage looks cool, I'll evolve them. If not, I'll keep them unevolved, until I can find an everstone so that I don't have to waste by b button and my thumbs xD

    I try not to evolve Lickitung because Lickilicky is ugly as, I don't normally evolve my Scyther because I prefer massive speed over better attack and defence, and it looks better, and I never evolve my main Pikachu because a Pikachu with a Light Ball is like insane.

    I like how you mention real life. If I, however, had pokémon in real life, and I'd catch a Sentret, I wouldn't evolve it because I like Sentret and hate Furret (like I did on SS).

    Yes, it really sucked, but it's about looove. 8D

    Although I can see where you're coming from.. it's still the same pokémon, just a different power + appearance. xD I don't know.

    Pokémon that have been on my team unevolved; Sentret, Aipom, Murkrow... I won't evolve Aaken when I get it on B/W. And I'm not letting my Jiheddo evolve into Sazandora. :)

    Never will I ever evolve Pikachu. I'm pro-Ash Ketchum.
    Same goes for Dusclops. Dusknoir is gross.
