I'm conducting a survey as research for a Bulbanews project. Which of these current main anime Pokémon do you think will evolve next? You may specify why/when/how in your reply. If you do not want to be quoted in the project, please say so.

The poll excludes Pikachu, Nyarth, and Pokémon that are already at their final evolutions. It will close five days from this posting, and votes are anonymous.

I voted for Turtwig, because it's really strong! ^^

My prediction is that Ash's Turtwig will evolve sometime soon. Maybe during a battle Ash has against some trainer, or maybe it will evolve during his 3rd gym battle.
 
I think Chimchar could be the next Pokemon to evolve, from his time with Shinji, he's the Pokemon who has gotten the most intensive and hard training of all of them. And besides, being Monferno a Fire/Fighting Type Pokemon, that would be perfect to his next Gym Battle. Ash could use Monferno against Lucario's Leader, because Fire is one of the few weakness of Lucario. Don't you think so?.
 
Turtwig, simply because it has a dull as nails personality and its evolution just looks so much better.
 
I voted for Pochama however it would not shock me if Mukubird is the one who evolves next...

I don't think Aipom Staravia Buneary Buizel or Happiny will evolve soon... they probably will evolve but it'll take time (hopefully Buneary won't evolve but with that friendship checker in the Pokétch and two Soothe Bells I think it's likely to evolve)

I don't think Piplup will evolve at all because it is to Dawn exactly what Pikachu is to Ash (unlike Torchic for example that was completely neglected and wasn't May's "star" Pokémon) and I think Brock's Croagunk is also portayed as his "star" so it'll probably won't evolve too
I'm totally sure Mime Jr. won't evolve and Cacnea won't too even if it'll leave

That leave us with Ash's Turtwig and Chimchar
I want to see more of Chimchar before it'll evolve (I don't like it if a Pokémon evolve too quickly before we get to see anything from it like Starly) and I'm sure that the writers will also want to give Chimchar more time as a Chimchar after all the spotlight Piplup and Turtwig got

So I think/want Turtwig to be the next to evolve
It also got enough spotlight as a Turtwig and isn't that interesting so evolution might help it a little
 
Grotle. Turtwig has been featured enough and there hasn't been a spotlight on Grotle yet, so yeah.

We'll probably also see Ambipom, Mukuhawk, Infernape, Lopunny, and Flowsel before the end of Sinnoh, but I doubt the others will evolve.
 
Well Aipom could technically evolve soon, its been around for 60 episodes with them featuring a dull Johto Pokemon. What the hell is taking them so long to evolve it?

Its funny because in the original Johto saga Aipom got 1 crappy filler and was barely seen again aside from short cameo roles. Why in the world did they decide to give such screentime to such an unimportant Pokemon?
 
Heh, the last option on the poll makes me smile. Does anyone see James with a Mr. Mime?

lol.
 
I'm really sick of this notion that people think the writers are going to hand Turtwig a personality if it evolves.-- If it didn't have one already, then it's not gonna get one if it evolves so it will still be dull and boring in that area, but hey at least it can beat stuff unlike a certain bird, and that's all i care about as dancing doesn't win mortal combat.

As for evolving I say Chimchar goes first so it can gaurantee it's shot at infernape(like the bird who went early and gauranteed itself reaching raptor) also if turtwig went first, then most people(especially those who want Ash to get Torterra still which is pointless cause it can't stand up to Paul's at all, doing so would be nothing short of deus ex.) would expect it to go all the way and Chimchar to stay as Monferno to make up for that, plus it would be kinda stupid to have Turtwig evolve and then have Chimchar evolve twice, and techincally Chimchar's been around longer time wise. (Yes I know it was with Paul, but still that was a longer time frame than Turtwig by a few episodes) Plus it's been trained alot by Paul so it has the experiance to do it, and Monferno would help out alot against Lucario( and make one hell of a kickass fight) who is regarded as a top grade guy so I say let it go first, sure give Turtwig a new move, but it doesn't need to evolve yet, sides it might not evolve with those bulba characteristics and Paul's Torterra looming over it.

So first we complain how neglected a certain Pokémon was and than we complain that they decided to give screen time to this so neglected Pokémon? especially when eventually it might turn into a totally new Pokémon?

I'd prefer it if Aipom didn't evolve but it's obvious it'll happen

Well at least it just LOOKS better.

Grotle is basically a grass type version of Donphan, which means it'll be cool to see in battle. Its basically Ash with a tank, which differentiates it from his other grass types and stops Turtwig from being a lame Bulbasaur ripoff.
 
Anyone ever realize how boring the show would be if the writers actually followed these strict rules people apparently pull out of nowhere?
 
I'm going for Naetle as well. I'd rather it didn't evolve, as I find both it's evolutions horribly ugly, but they've really been building that thing as having really great potential, and I really can't see it NOT evolving.

Pikachu, Inferape, Torterra, Staraptor, Lucario and Floatzel sweep the Sinnoh League, beat Paul and the Elite 4 without breaking a sweat. Challenge Cynthia and win in a clean sweep. Dawn gets killed, contests get nuked, and noone cares about Brock. The End

I really see Buneary evolving next, Slutbunny needs screentime and the twerps' male Pokemon need to have a wacky brawl over her affection.
 
Be greatful we can actually have a poll discussing about evolutions in a serious manner. Notice how thinking about multiple evo's isn't uncommon nowadays?

If this poll was made back in Johto, we could barely suggest anything because the writers seemed to think that evolving was a taboo back then.

In general, the writers HAVE been re-formatting the show to give the fans almost everything they want. The time where people complain about Ash not evolving his Pokemon and getting pity badges is long over.

Thank goodness.
