Well, we have a thread about evolution hopefuls, so what about Pokemon you hope to stay the same? And please, don't list Legendaries or Third-Stagers.

  • Ditto
  • Castform
  • Absol
  • Snorlax
  • Abomasnow
  • Pinsir
  • Cherrim
  • Skarmory
 
I dunno. I like it when pokemon evolve. When I catch a pokemon that doesn't evolve I always feel less motivated to actually train it.
 
Minun and Plusle. They're useless in the first place anyway. I also agree ditto shouldn't evolve. The only thing it could evolve into is a bigger blob =P

Plusle and Minun in a team battle have been known to murder even metagross. :x
 
Ditto and Porygon.

I see people saying "Ditto should evolve! It's really weak!" and I think "...are you stupid?".

Also no more Porygon's, ever. No more, seriously.
 
I don't believe this is really appropriate for Black and White. Moving to Video Games.
 
I think a lot of Pokemon shouldn't evolve, just they should've been stronger in the first place. At least give Absol more speed to back up that Attack stat...
 
Pluse and Minun

Also I don't think Stantler will either, all pokemon that look as if they could be fully grown adult animals in real life (or close to animal as possible) ahaven't got evolutions like:

Ninetails, Stantler, Rapidash, Girafarig, tauros, miltank etc...

Ditto and Porygon.

Um, forget Porygon2 and PorygonZ? Ditto definatly won't as all it does is transform into other pokrmon, no need for it to evolve.

That's true, but barely any battles in the games are team battles. So by themselves they're useless.

If one likes double battles through wi-fi or with friends, they aren't useless. In the games, yes, but they arent truly ones made for single battles anyways, this is what GF was trying to show with them, note that double battles first appeared in the gen they were in.
 
There are a couple up there that I disagree with. Pinsir could stand to get an evolution in the same vein as Scizor, or possibly inverse from Scizor; just as Scizor rearranged Scyther's stats to make him slower and more defensive, a Pinsir evolution could rearrange Pinsir's stats to make him faster but a bit more vulnerable. (Though the fact that he still doesn't have an evolution probably shows where he's going...) And if Absol got an evolution that made him faster--even if it did nothing else at all--he could start to become a respectable threat, especially with Super Luck and a full set of boosted crit moves (though it might drop Super Luck for the sake of balance).

But yeah, really gimmicky Pokemon probably won't ever evolve. Shedinja leaps to mind. I almost could see Volbeat and Illumise evolving, visual design-wise, but I don't think it'll happen. And a few of the Gen I single-stagers that got babies in later on, namely Mr. Mime and Snorlax that I can think of, for some reason I don't see evolving.

Lastly, Smeargle, and I can't believe no one else mentioned him. Although it would be nice to have an evolution that raised his stats a bit and balanced them more so that he could have the stat adaptability to support his move versatility, I don't think he'll see much in the way of new evolutions.

And while I'm at it, what could they do with Unown? Not much, IMO.

They can give them pre-evolutions that are the lowercase alphabet! Lol JK I don't think they need evolutions either.

Uh, yeah, this. I mean, some pokes don't need an evo, they just need more power.
 
Ditto doesn't need to evolve. Ever (because it can turn into virtually any Pokemon). Snorlax doesn't need to evolve because it's strong enough already.

aren't there more???? lemme look for them
 
Well, a Skarmory evolution wouldn't be all too broken. It would essentually be Dusknoir. More attack power helps in few cases, but it would still play as a spiker/wall.

I agree. On my list are also Castform, Unown, all the Eeveelutions, Gyarados, and many more.
 
why is pinser on the list and Heracross not? Also, milotic wont, or any eveelution. Illumise and volbeat probabl wont, neither will zangoose or seviper. WEll, the last two are questionable, but I'd bet against it. Oh yeah, and lapras and khangaskhan
 
Most of the fillers won't get evolved, just by the sheer fact that some have them have been around so long, and have gotten nothing so far.

Farfetch'd
Tauros
Kangaskhan
Pinsir (One I'm extremely disappointed in...)
Lapras
Girafarig
Stantler
Qwilfish
Shuckle
Corsola (another I'm disappointed about)
Delibird (Heh... Yeah...)
Miltank
Sableye (Would be way too strong anyways)
Mawile
Spinda
Tropius
Relicanth
Luvdisc
Chatot
Spiritomb (Same as Sableye)
Carnivine


I tried to list those who haven't been mentioned yet. But then again, we all knew for a fact that most of Gen I's single guys wouldn't get evolutions or babies after Gen II. We saw what happened there. Electabuzz, Magmar, Tangela, Magneton, Rhydon.
