4th Evolutions

[~Heaven Help Us~]

do you think in the next generation they should give some pokemon a 4th evolve?

ex: geodude-graveller-golem-next evolve


i think they should that would be cool.

 

[purple_absol709]

No, I don't think so, 3 seems to be good enough. The starters only have 3, and they're partly considered the ones with the most evos.

 

[Warfare]

I believe three is enough. Some of the third evolutions this generation weren't really that good or useful.

 

[Wind]

If you look at Porygon-z, Z is the last letter in the alphabet and so, Porygon-Z is the last of the porygons and so there will be no more, plus all the final forms look complete anyway.

 

[Poison13]

I don't think so because of what purple absol709 said and because if anything, they will add a new type, not a 4th evollution.

 

[Tri hawk]

I don't think they should add 4th evo's.
However, some more variable evolutions would be neat. ie/ Poliwrath - Politoad

 

[Tatortot]

Maybe, but I highly doubt it. The thing is, if we gave some pokes 4th evos, then they would have to have higher stats, which means most pokemon would have to have a 4th evos so they wouldn't be left behind. Alternate evos, maybe, but 4th evos, highly unlikely.

yeah but they say in the description that porygon-z is a messed up porygon wat if they make a 4th one of a porygon that goes back to normal liike its strogner idk how to explain it.

3rd stage Pokemon are usually strong enough so what's the point?
I don't like this idea one bit.
I mean what comes after that, Pokemon with three types? Dual-type moves?
Ew.

well thats your opinion but some people may like this idea.idk

I wouldn't.
Three types would create so much confusion with resistances and weaknesses. What now, possible 6x super effectives?
Same thing for the Dual-types. The damage multipliers would be like... x__x.

And sure, some people think fourth evolutions would be good, but some third evolutions are already strong.

 

[Tomato Jr.]

seeing the job they have done on some of my favourite pokemons new evos in D/P (particually Rhyperior, but also tangrowth and lickilicky) i don't want them messing up any more.
EDIT: My God, i forgot Probopass again. when critising the new evos i always forget probopass and he is the worst of the lot. Except Rhyperior.
if there is fourth evos, they would have to keep them to new pokemon only- and this wouldn't really be fair.
i am all for more alternate evos, but not a fourth.

 

[Leomon]

nope, this is one of the few things i dont want, it would ruin it all, making a fourth evolution would ruin the games for me atleast.

 

[Am.pha.ros]

I don't like new evolutions of existing pokémon at all, albeit split or a 4th evo. A 4th level would probably be too powerful anyway.

 

[Digitalkaiser65]

I Like the thought of variable evolutions.
Not so much fourth evolutions.

 

[it all started with eevee]

it'd be too confusing, and then they would be too strong

OMG ;_; Fire/Ground/Rock type pokemon up against a pokemon who has a Dual Type move of Water/Ground that hits the Fire/Ground/Rock equals ___x amount of damage. *Faints* My brain hurts already ;_;

Back to the discussion, I think three forms are enough. Adding a new porygon Evo where a Porygon-Z would evolve by trade? uck. Maybe where you could choose between a new Porygon evo or Porygon-Z when trading, like "Have porgyon2 hold dubious disc while trading to evolve into Porygon-Z. Have Porygon2 Hold [Inster new item name here] while trading to evolve into [Inster New Pokemon's name here]"

EDIT: If there was a new pokemon in the 5th gen and it had four evos, it would be like a Caterpie. Then a Metapod. Then a Kakuna. Then a Butterfree. Basically it would be three really not good pokemon evolving into a decent pokemon to make things fair. Not like Bagon evolves into Gabite which evolves into Garchomp which evolves into MegaSaur with base 200 stats. >_>

Then again, a pokemon like that would be pretty cool o.o *imagines overpowered Garchomp evo*

No Fourth Evolutions!!! >=O

 

[Master Mew]

yeah that would be too confusing and hard 2 calculate damage

Well, if you look at some of the weaker third evolutions, there's room for improvement. Like Butterfree; with 0 IVs and neutral nature, it has 905 total stats. With the same IVs and nature, Dragonite has 1335 total stats. I don't think giving Butterfree (or a comparable pokemon) a 4th evo would shift the balance of power that much.

As far as dual type moves and 3-type pokemon, those things may make things little more complicated, but they could be cool/appropriate. Like Gyarados is Water-Flying. At first, I thought it was Water-Dragon. I think convinicing arguements could be made that they could be Water-Flying, Water-Dragon, or Dragon-Flying, so making it Dragon-Water-Flying wouldn't be far fetched to me.

And dual type attacks could be really neat. Like Lanturn; it's Electric-Water. If it had an attack where it blasted water and infused it with electricity (Hydro Thunder?) I think that'd be pretty cool.

No.

Except maybe ONE Pokemon could have one, be it's unique factor.
