evolving clothes?

[Sphyxius]

I always wondered how Machoke gets a little spandex speedo thingy when he evolves. (I also think this makes him and Machamp the worst and ugliest design of pokemon of all time). Are there any pokemon that randomly get... "clothes"... when they evolve? Its really messed up and I don't like it >.<

But I'll live.

Rhydon - Rhyperior, but that's because of the items, this happens with Dusclops - Dusknoir too.

Nosepass - Probopass, he get's a hat.

You could also include Ralts, Kirlia, Gardevoir, and Gallade.

I tend to think that what looks like clothes to us is just simply part of a Pokemon's skin. Humanshape Pokemon would just look odd without "something" to cover certain areas. Cases like Rhyperior, where an item is given to it, or Machoke, where its pokedex entry mentions the belt it wears to limit its power, are somewhat different though.

Not to sound macabre, but in Cubone's case, I always thought of it as wearing its mother's skull and using one of her bones as a weapon.

Burmy and Wormadam are one of the cases of Pokemon that wear "true" clothes, as the leaves, dirt, or trash cloaks are made from surrounding materials.

Lol at Machoke without the underwear. That would just be creepy, even though there almost certainly isn't anything beneath it.

But I agree that the clothes are probably just part of the Pokemon. Whether skin or any other material. Saying Pokemon can't have organic clothes on the appear is like saying Pokemon can't evolve to have steel carapaces.

That was what I was going to say.

Having clothes doesn't really bother me, that's how the design is supposed to be, so I don't really care.

The speedo on Machoke is awesome.
