We're not counting legendaries or 3-stage evolutions.

Seeing how there is a "what kind of new evo's and prevo's do you want" thread, I thought I'd make a thread about which of your loved pokémons should stay the way they are (seeing how we got quite some complains about rhyperior and dusnkoir, being said that they're unnessecary). It might be usefull to just mention the ones you specifically don't want to get evo's or prevo's, else your list might end up to be very long.

I myself think that there shouldn't be any new split evolutions or new eeveelutions. Others I especially think that shouldn't evolve:

Farfetch'd (we need some gen I pokémons to stay 1-line)
Altaria (2-stage dragons are rare)
Spiritomb (sableye should get an evo instead)
Jynx (not another Gardevoir/Lopunny. Some fans are sick bastards)
Ditto (it only has 1 purpose anyway)
Absol (it's good enough)


No prevo's:

Onix (a big snake out of a small egg, I just find that funny)
 
There's already a thread for this. It was moved to the video games section though.
 
People often throw around this idea of a pre-evo that split-evolves into either Tauros or Miltank. I'm not one of those people that supports such an idea. These two Pokemon do not have to be connected in anyway, and introducing a pre-evolution as the factor does not make me happy.

(most of all I don't want a happy little calf walking around getting confused with its gender and its existence later in life)

Actually, I don't like pre-evos in general. The argument can be made that they expand the 'Poke-World', but they feel more like bandaids stuck on to an evolutionary line, or glued-on parts.

The difference with added evolutions is those feel more like expansions or additions because they come at the end of a Pokemon's maturity cycle. The babies, however, are supposed to be the beginning, the start. And then all of a sudden its "Oops! Nope. We were biologically wrong!" The way you use Incense to attain these Pokemon is almost creepy in the fact that it's like bio-engineering a whole new species.

I like new evolutions though. It's like making something that exists stronger. Oh, like my Scyther? Well now its METAL SCYTHER, OH YEAH.

Absol would be a cool candidate. He's got decent stats, decent attacks, and a cool ability. But his typing is still a drag. If they could "Punch" him up, he might actually seem some use.

A good number of Pokemon on my list got taken care of already in Gen 4. Yanma, Murkrow, Gligar, Rhydon. Crappy Pokemon got made into awesome ones, actually usable in the competitive scene.

EDIT: So much for typing all of that if this gets closed.
 

In my opinion there is a difference between the two.

That thread's more about which pokémon are likely not to evolve, this thread is about pokémon you don't want to evolve. That one is about the logical thing that will happen, this one is about what you want to happen.
