This isn't necessarily a pro thread for making evolutions, but since we will inevitably get some 5th gen, which Pokemon need it most? There are certain Pokemon that stand fine on their own, but others that feel off balance. I mean, nearly a third of 4th gen Pokemon were evolutions, and it completely salvagedall the Gen II Pokemon fading into obscurity. I'm just hoping th gen can tie up all the loose ends we have left.
I'd like your opinions on the following;
Pokemon that need them-
Assuming we get several next gen, these are the candidates I think are most deserving.
Pinsir- All his RBY counterparts (Scyther, Electabuzz, Magmar, Jynx, Mr. Mime) got one, so why not? I think it would be very suitable to give him a evolution just to boost his stats a little but, The typing wouldn't need to be changed, but I think Bug/Fighting could be plausible. I'm just thinking cool Beetle Pokemon. I'd say he is about my top pic for a needed evolution.
Corsola- I was honestly anticipating this last gen, but I guess not. After the rehaul of Gen II Pokemon it's a shame it got left out. The typing screws it over for any competitive use but it's definitely deserving of a stronger evolution, Just give it big defense and power boost while keeping low speed and HP. Swift Swim would do it a lot more justice than Hustle but it already has two abilities.
Torkoal- He just seems a little off standing on his own, and I see nothing wrong with an excuse for another Fire type. Just a bulkier, more powerful version, possibly slower, no need for type change. He's not in depserate need for one, it would just
suit him better than many other Pokemon.
Qwilfish- The other Gen II Pokemon that got shafted. It's not strong enough to fare on its own, and not a Pokemon that has a particular reason to stay a singular evolution. I say crank up the Qwilfish love and give us a stronger, faster glass canon sweeper.
Mawile- He has a nice movepool, he's pretty much forgotten about, I think he is one of the more plausible candidates for an evolution. Nothing drastic, just boosted like the others.
Girafarig- A cool Pokemon, unique typing, slightly obscure, why not? To me he just sticks out as a better match for one than the others.
Maybe Pokemon-
I'm undecided, what do you guys think?
Farfetch'd- I know he's weird and just himself, but I sort of think it would be ridiculously awesome to get a Farfetch'd evolution.
Luvdisc- It functioned as a method to get heart scales in Gen III, now it is 100% useless. If they're going to make evolutions, I don't see the harm in giving Luvdisc a boost so it's not dead forever. Actually, with enough of a power boost it could become a standard on a Rain Dance team.
Stantler- I don't know, just looking for opinions.
And then, if Gamefreak sets their heart on making more, I'd say just about any other Pokemon from Gen II and even a few
from Gen I and III. Mainly those 2 Pokemon evolution lines that aren't really that powerful and are kind of destined to
be UU or NU forever. Lanturn, Seaking, Quagsire, Sunflora, Furrett, etc come to mind. Not all of them necessarily need it, but then again, Dusclops, Porygon 2, Magneton, sure in the hell
didn't, so we can bypass that. Though in all I'd rather have new Pokemon entirely.
I'm sort of thinking that Kangaskhan, Dunsparce, Tauros, Miltank, Shuckle, Skarmory, Delibird, Relicanth, Volbeat, Illumise, Lunatone, Solrock, Pachirisu, Rotom and Chatot do their own thing. Dunsparce and Shuckle are gimmicky, Relicanth, Miltank, Lunatone, Solrock, Skarmory, Rotom and Tauros are fine, Pachirisu is cute,Delibird is like Santa Claus. Not even considering Ditto, Smeargle, Unown and the like.
