Why does everyone want Tortipouss to evolve?

I notice most people are really pushing for Tortipouss to evolve, but I can't see why. Bulbizarre didn't evolve after 500+ episodes, and it "deserved" it far more than Tortipouss. Everyone's all like, "it needs to evolve, it sucks at this stage!", but all expect 2 of of Ash's starters evolved. Tortipouss is no different.

Discuss.
 
Tortipouss is the French name of Turtwig right if so I think that it's a pattern Bulbasaur didn't evolve, Chikorita Evolved once and Treecko evolved all the way, so if the pattern continued Turtwig will not evolve, so the fandom needs to stop whining sbout Turtwig evolving
 
Turtwig is like a poor man's Bulbasaur, and its getting tons of hatred from the fandom. Bulbasaur, Chikorita, and Treecko were all memorable grass types, Turtwig doesn't stand out.
 
I walked in, and couldn't even understand the names going in, so I'll just say, Turtwig should evolve to get personality. The only thing that gives it personality NOW is the whole biting thing.
 
Personally, I haven't found Naetle to be all that interesting. Especially after how awesome Kimori/Juptile/Jukain was last series.

Maybe an evolution could give the writers more to work with.
 
Since it's only going to get at least one evolution, why not milk Turtwig right now? At least now, we don't have constant threads about it being Oaked.
 
Turtwig has gotten enough spotlight already. It did well in the Roark Gym, had the whole Turtwig Vs. Turtwig thing with Gardenia, is in training to learn new attacks, and was in a number of fillers.

Treecko evolved into Grovyle somewhere around AG65. By the time Movie 11 comes out we'll be up to what... D/P 82 or something?

We're going to be 80+ episodes into Sinnoh and Turtwig is still a Turtwig?
 
Bulbizarre

lol I love regional versions

We need Grotle in the series, now
And Turtwig is getting boring, weak attacks and zero personality
EVOLVE THE THING.

god, enough with this bullshit already. Can't people just accept a coincidence? Now given, I was all for Kimori's full evolution in the last generation, but it was for completely different (and much more logical) reasons. Also, even if there was a pattern, how do you know they're just going to repeat a loop now that there're four grass-starters (though it's technically five. Haruka's Fushigidane, anyone?)?

not only that, but Naetle actually could've had something that made it more interesting, but they ruined it. I speak, of course, of its potential as a tank. This anime has too many damn speed demons, and I was hoping the producers could've learned something since Cotoise (the previous shelled reptile) and try to properly show Satoshi using a sluggish fighter for once. Instead, they turn it into yet another speed demon (hell, they devoted whole episodes to having the thing learn to be evasive and having a "speed battle" with Natane's). This is made only worse by the fact that a damn turtle shouldn't even be in such a role. With any luck, common sense should kick in and they realize what battling style suits it more once it puts on more girth (I mean, they probably think they can get away with the over-usage of evasive tactics only because they're using small creatures).

Its personality sure doesn't help, neither.... I mean, it tries acting like a badass, but it just fucking fails at it (and now it's only going to be overshadowed by Buoysel, who actually gets it right). Now that Naetle from the first episode (the one that Hikari could've picked as a starter) was awesome. Why couldn't Satoshi's have been more like that (and why did the one that was actually good have to be a one-shot? T_T)?
 
I agree it should act more like a tank (the main tank at the moment seems to be piplup with bide and thats just wrong). Also another advantage to its evolution would be ashs second sinnoh ground type which along with the apparent quick evolution we can expect from gligar and that he already has staravia we could expect a real reason for ditching gliscor. Although I see the whole gligar thing being abit messed up at the moment even though I did enjoy watching it battle buneary but thats for another thread.

Turtwig won't be a Ground type unless it evolves twice, which definitely won't happen for a while.
 
That's another thing that annoys me, Tortipouss is another fast Pokemon. Does every stupid Pokemon Ash catch have to be fast? Bulbizarre, fine, I can sort of see it, and maybe Germignon, but Tortipouss is a TORTOISE. they are slow. Chartor was annoying, but doing the same mistake twice is so stupid.
 
please, can't you use the english names? D: the loads of japanese names in this board are enough already x(

but the French names sound so much fancier!:D Besides, if you can look up Japanese names, then you can look up the French.
 
Anything with bizarre in its name doesn't sound so fancy to me D: well, alright then.

We already have the English and Japanese names to remember. We shouldn't have to learn the bloody French ones too...
 
I have to agree Turtwig has been handled badly and this makes me sad.
The Turtwig line is my favorite of all the starters up to now in the games.

Turtwig should be more of a tank than a speedster. That is what it is in the game. Grotle and Torterra certainly aren't going to be fast and would have to fight like tanks.

If Ash's Turtwig does evolve I hope Ash has to come up with a whole new battle strategy for it as it can no longer compete as a speedster. That might actually be interesting, but my current bet is that it doesn’t ever evolve.

I agree that the Turtwig Dawn could have chosen had a much more interesting attitude then Ash’s (though I couldn’t see Dawn getting the best out of it). It would have been funny if it wasn’t nearly as inattentive as it looked like it was, that it just doesn’t put any more effort than necessary to do what it wants to do.

Maybe we will meet another one of Dawn friends that does something other than contests and started after her and picked that Turtwig. Of course the chances of that happening are about one in a million. There are currently three members of the Turtwig line in the anime (Ash's and Gardenia's Turtwigs, and Paul's Torterra) and I don't see them adding another.
 
At the rate of old friends that Dawn has been getting, I wouldn't be surprised if we saw another one.
 
Is it really that hard to figure out who she's talking about?

I actually don't really care if Turtwig evoles, I like him better than his other forms. He is less interesting than the others but that's no reason to hate him so much.
