Ashs Tranquill evolving in an episode that doesnt revolve around a pokeringer competition
I agree the fock outta this, I found Starly's two evolutions to be extremely cheap, like they couldn't find any other way to evolve the bird.
Ashs Tranquill evolving in an episode that doesnt revolve around a pokeringer competition
Something I've always wondered, which I think would be cool. In the Anime would it be possible for a Pokemon whom was decently experienced, strong, and so on, to evolve, but keep evolving, like Snivy evolve into Servine, but the process not stop and just keep going to Serperior. The Anime has often had Pokemon evolve in tense or dangerous situations, and that's really the only way I could see it happen. I just have always thought that would be cool to see happen.
As unlikely as it would be, it would be interesting for them to do one of those. Or even perhaps twice in the same episode, one near the beginning, and one right near the end.
The only problem I have with it, and no doubt many others, is that the middle forms are often rejected enough as it is (with the arguable exception of Ash's Grovyle) in terms of screentime and battles. Having Servine (I assume you're probably talking about Ash's here) evolve after twenty minutes, or possibly immediately like your scenario, would ultimately exacerbate that even further.
I have nothing against your method at all, but the middle form of the starters are often not showcased as well as they arguably should be. I for one quite like the middle forms of the starters, and considering the nature of their evolution in the games (you get your starter, you have it, and then it evolves twice relatively quickly and you have a fully-evolved starter from basically the fifth or sixth gym onward), it's quite often that you don't really get to see enough of them. This is why Ash's Grovyle and May's Combusken are two of my favourite Pokemon because I believe they were showcased very well, getting a lot of battles and screentime, and leaving their evolution right towards the end of their time as part of the main cast. In Combusken's case it was right AT the end of its time on the main cast.
It's the one aspect of Pokemon that I feel the games get wrong, Pokemon evolving at such low levels, which is why I love the fact Larvesta evolves when it does at such a high level.
I was just using Snivy as an example of what I meant. Consider this however, wouldn't it be a unique way for the show to depict a very dire situation, like if Ash really were to come into a battle that he couldn't afford to lose, say like against Giovanni if he ever had to battle him.
Or another thing I thought about, some of the middle stages of the Pokemon, like with Pokabu's line have been showcased a decent bit, and on the same token as what you were saying with people not liking how the middle stage receives little attention, there's a group of equal size if not bigger that complains every time to characters on the show have the same Pokemon, in the same evolutionary stage. Bypassing that stage, for whatever reason, would be a possible way to avert it.
Another situation I thought of is with Ash's Bulbasaur in particular. Obviously we know it doesn't want to evolve, but it has the opportunity to before. Let's just say that a situation arises where Bulbasaur is in a life or death situation, like when he was almost crushed by a rock and miraculously learned Dig. In a situation like that, either from the direness of the situation, or from the amount of pent up energy within Bulbasaur from resisting evolution for so long causes him to evolve all the way to Venusaur.
Again, I'm not saying this will happen, and I understood your point. I just thought that it might be a cool thing for the writers to have in the show at some point.
My wish is for Ash to have Snivy, Pignite with Samurott being the powerhouse, and I imagine that Trip will have a Serperior, Bianca with an Emboar, and Burgundy's could go either way. If that ends up being the case I think that would be a reasonable balance between the middle forms getting showcased well enough (as long as we see Trip's Servine a few more times), and those aforementioned characters not having Pokemon in the same evolution stage for too long.
I agree with that, except if I have to choose between Snivy or Tepig only evolving once, I hope both due, but if only one, then I prefer Snivy. I like Servine better personally for some reason.
A episode i would really like to see is Ash having another encounter with Zekrom, probably at Dragonspiral tower
I wanna see Ash use Swadloon. Sue me.
Yea. I just use Snivy's supposed strength (even if her and Ash's strategy is based on Attract) compared to Tepig's inexperience as a reason for Tepig evolving and Snivy not. If your theory is the way it turns out, then Bianca's Pignite should get more screentime, but the next time we see Trip he has Serperior. Just adjusting it for swapping those two over. But I'll stop here before I get too off-topic.
As for me, I'd like to see an episode in which Swadloon evolves into Leavanny but struggles to get used to it's new bodily function and increased maneouvreability. It's sort of a reverse of Turtwig's evolution. For the rest of the battle, it would 'over-run' things and is not used to his new speed.
Iris has a gym battle acantst Drayden and wins then he tells her he wants to take her on as a student and her next test is she must bound with his dragon pokemon and use them in a gym battle acenst Ash
