Next Pokemon Thread V: Evolution/Capture/Release Speculation Station [UNOVA ONLY]

He has returned.
If only one more capture is made, i want it to be either the psychic totem bird/Druddigon (these would help leviate some of the evo pressure on the others as they can't evolve.) or Pawniard/Golurk because thier evo's just say bring it, not because the fit Ash but because they tear stuff up.

if anyone wants to challenge the psychic bird being caught let me remind you we also have people wanting a second fire type being caught.

The reason I don't think the psychic/totem bird thingy will get causght is because it is hard to put emotion on that thing, and thus make it sorta invalid to be on the main cast. But that's just me.

Really? It has that eye and they managed to make Unown expressive, so why can't they do it for Siglyph?

It could happen. Would it really be harder than, say, trying to get Pokemon like Magnemite, Magneton and Magnezone to show emotions like happiness or anger, which has happened on this show before?

I still think that Iris will catch a Deino at some point soon(ish), since the most recent episode seems to act like an inspiration starter for her to get one, the same thing has happened in the past as well:

Misty decides she wants a Corsola after seeing Elm's
May wanting a Beautifly after seeing Janet's
Dawn wanting a Buneary so much that she tried to catch every one she saw
Ash wanting a Gible after seeing one in the wild (possibly trying to emulate Cynthia subconciously though)

You can say the same thing about Roggenrola and look what happen with it.

@Aesir you do make a point its still very possible for Iris to catch a Deino maybe with a much different personality then the one she befriend this past episode.

Unlike Roggenrola, Siglyph actually has eyes.

Wow. Boldore is huge.

Ah so another evolution in a gym battle. Boldore seems like it will be a powerhouse and gets to star in the gym battle. I am hoping it gets used more before if/when it evolves again. I am hoping he uses boldore, swadloon, and tranquil in this battle!

So Boldore is going to beat Excadrill? I did not see that coming at ALL. Well at least the rock is going to get an important battle.

Also rather sad that Iris didn't get Deino in today's episode.

Wow, looks like the Boldore merch was dead on. Didn't see Boldore being used in the Gym battle, but hey, as long as it's not Pikachu/Oshawott/Tepig, I'm ok with it. I'm hoping we also see Snivy, Tranquill, or Swadloon. Palpitoad can sit this one out, as it had Elesa's Gym to be a "mini star".

So, it looks like both Excadrill and Boldore are using Rock Smash. I'm not sure why Rock Smash is getting used so much all of a sudden. It really isn't all that powerful. Certainly isn't the most powerful Fighting-type move among the panoply of options open to the writers. I'd much rather see Beartic, Haxorus and Gurdurr use Brick Break (Beartic, Haxorus, Gurdurr), Superpower (Beartic) or Hammer Arm (Gurdurr) to be honest.

Anyways, I'm glad Roggenrola is confirmed to evolve. It sort of makes up for my disappointment for today's episode. I... didn't particularly care for it, except for two things:

1. The fact that both Iris AND Ash tried catching the Deino, which gives me new ideas and/or hope (for Ash at least).

2. The fact that good ol' Mijumaru might be appearing in next week's episode from the end of the preview. More Miju means more fun and more adorableness.

Damn. I really hate this. It's taking the starters forever to evolve. In most every region one starter would've evolved after the fourth gym, mostly before the 5th.

Well we're at the 5th gym and the only thing evolved are the reserve Pokemon.

I have to reluctantly admit, that Ash having all fully evolved starters isn't going to happen. Not because it doesn't make sense, as people try to argue while bashing/insulting other members saying stuff like ASH WILL NEVER HAVE ALL FULLY EVOLVED STARTERS BECAUSE HE'S NEVER HAD ALL FULLY EVOLVED STARTERS. But because I just don't see how they have any time to pull it off. Freaking marketability.

AT BEST, all of them at least evolve once. But even then I have my doubts that any of them will reach their final stage so maybe at the end of Unova, we may only have:

Pikachu
Unfezant (please evolve before Skyla)
Dewott
Pignite
Servine
Scraggy
Leavanny
Palpitoad
Gigalith

This new spoiler about Roggenrola evolving has strengthened one of my fears. It might end up being so that the starters won't evolve, and they will be the ones given all the development while the reserves evolve and are not given almost any development at all... Would really suck though...

What? Another person who thinks Ash will get a Reuniclus, which I don't see him with.

I'd like to see Oshawott evolving, but in the case of Tepig and Snivy - Tepig might fully evolve while Snivy evolves once.

I don't think Druddigon suits Iris or even Klink and Torchic suiting Cilan.

Well like I said I want them to fully evolve but I'm fine if they evolve atleast once.

I also wanted Oshawott and Tepig to evolve in this gap but it was pretty small, maybe after the 5th gym if we get a bigger gap, we get some evolutions for them.

I said it before Roggenrolla (despite type disadvantage) will be used in the 5th gym but most of the people disagreed with me.

Charmander Didn't evolve until after Ash Battled Koga (6th Kanto gym), so you are wrong there, however it was only the 32nd or so episode. Chikorita tok 73 episodes to evole into Bayleef, and from what I recall, turtwig evolved around the 100 episode mark in DP, still loadsa time for full evolutions, however, as per usual the middle stage evolutions will likely get shunted, ala monferno>>>infernape.
