• Hi all
    Just a notice, we recently discovered that someone got into a moderator account and started hard deleting a load of key and legacy threads...around 150 threads have been lost dating back to 2007 and some weeks ago so we can't roll the forums back.
    Luckily no personal data could be accessed by this moderator, and we've altered the permissions so hard deleting isn't possible in the future
    Sorry for any inconvenience with this and sorry for any lost posts.

i think that froslass was really uncreative and unnecessary, and i think they should make baby forms of lapras and kangaskahn. what do you guys think. also, please do not bash me if you do not agree with me about froslass.

Yeah,I also hate Froslass. As you said,it was uncreative and unnecessary,but also it's ability just sucks,and it's also just...useless. It was a pain in the butt to train it all the way to lvl.50. :(

There are no unnecessary evolutions.

It's called expanding the Pokedex.

Rather then create all new pokemon, it's much easier just to stick in new evos and pre-evos.

since i am a BOY i don't find them cute,
So, being a BOY means that you can't find something cute?

Both Dusknoir and Rhyperior are basically buffed up versions of their preevolutions, as they do the exact same thing but hitting slightly harder. That's what I'd call "unnecessary", even though both of them are pretty good. You know, what will happen if they ever decide to evolve Gyarados?

All pre-evolutions are useless, though.

Okay, anyone who finds Froslass "uncreative" needs to do a bit of research.

Froslass is based on a Yuki-onna, which is a female ice-spirit of Japanese folklore.

How is that uncreative? She's based on a Japanese legend, now I don't know about some of you guys, but that doesn't sound "uncreative" to me.

Evolve Gyarados and slap a Solid Rock/Filter equivalent on as it's ability... Just make it bigger and more ornate, it seems to be a trend.

I understand that baby Pokémon are there for extra kid appeal, and to expand the Pokédex, but enough is enough... At least a Kangaskhan prevo can be condoned because we've seen baby Kangaskhan from day one, most of the others are unnecessary.

It might be easier, but it's kind of like saying, "We're too lazy to come up with new ideas for Pokemon, so let's just slightly change a few old ones and pass them off as new."

I think they could have done without any of the 1st gen evos that came out in 4th gen, especially Rhyperior (all they did was increase its stats by 10...).

I am also a firm believer that every single baby/pre-evo ever created is unnecessary.

Static owns you.
Though I love Dusknoir's design, stats-wise he really didn't improve on Dusclops that much. A very small boost in defense stats and a reasonable boost in attack was really all he got. Rhyperior is much the same, just improving him a little without making any major changes.

Is Riolu unnecessary to Lucario? No.
Is Mantyke unnecessary to Mantine? No.

Why is this? Is it because Mantine and Mantyke were introduced in a separate generation? That's what I'm thinking. Don't be hypocritical.

I don't know. Igglybuff, Cleffa and Smoochum don't have much of a point.

That's the thing: they're lazy.

Deal with it.

How you did that?
if nintendo made a 4 tier evolution tree, the series would be ruined. they would be too powerfull for any other pokemon to face off against

Agreed! Also, Snow Cloak is the most useful ability save for Ice Body. ((Snow Cloak + Confuse Ray = ~40% chance of getting hit. May be wrong but I doubt it. Some super battler dude that does the Pokemon VGCs n' stuff told me.))

Roselia's evolutions were pointless and obviously were just to fill up space.
 
Some good evos and pre evos should go to these pokemon:

Tauros -> Minotauros

So Tauros should evolve but not Miltank?

Anyway... Tauros and Miltank should have a prevo where the male is brown and evolves into Tauros and the female is pink and evolves into Miltank... think Nidoran.
Volbeat should get a Fire/Bug evo and Illumise should get an Electric/Bug evo... both with Levitate. That way, they can be actual firefly/lightningbug.
 

Electivirus

Not really, no.

I'm fairly certain that Budew was created so that you couldn't have a Pokemon with such massive special stats that early in the game.

Base 100 Sp. Atk? Before the first gym? Can you say Gamebreaker?

I honestly don't see the point you're trying to make. All baby pokemon were introduced in an generation other than that of the original??

Froslass, Tangrowth, Porygon-Z they should have all been left alone.

1. Needed more examples of Gender Evolution and the Dawn Stone needed more uses.
2. Needed more examples of Move Evolution and Tangela needed an evolution.
3. Porygon is supposed to be remniscient of computers, and is thus constantly updated.

I think gallade was extremely needed though. When you combine psychic and fighting you've got something special.

As for Jynx, that thing creeps me out, so an evo for it would be like a female sumo wrestler.

Rhyperior = very unneccessary. its just some attempted OMG SOOO GOOD ILL MAKE A TEAM OUT OF THEM type of pokemon, and we have tyranitar for that.

Weaville looks too feminine. Sorry.

Ambipom I just don't like. It looks weird.

Tangela is weird because you can't see its face. Tangrowth is huge and makes me wonder what the CRAP is under those vines.

FROSLASS IS AWESOME. not only can it resist fighting, i think it has levitate so ground wont work either, but im not sure.

And dusknoir. How I hate it. It ruined the whole dusclops thing. Look at dusclops shiny form. Its red. Looks awesome. Look at dusknoirs. Barely changes. I HATE IT!!!

We need a baby form of skarmory so we can get it early in the game, maybe after the first gym or so? Its too good to resist, but by the time you can catch it, you need to train it a lot to get it in your team.

And lastly roserade was needed. Desperately.
