Should Pokemon eventually get 4 or 5 stages of Evolution?

[Pokemon Trainer SonicLife]

Yes...There is a Third evolution for some pokemon...For example: Pichu is stage 1, Pikachu is Stage 2 and Richu is Stage 3...-Empolean

Basic- ;393;
Stage ONE- ;394;
Stage TWO- ;395;

Even though there may be three pokémon in an evolutionary line, there two stages of evolution. The basic pokémon (Piplup in my example) is kinda like a zero.

Basic?....Oh yeah! Lol...TCG. Sorry...I always think Basic is normally Evolution 1...Since Pokemon come from eggs.

This topic came up not long ago, and I remember everyone agreeing to the fact that the stats for those that do have them. If it does become this way, I don't care, as long as Gamefreak balances out the stats on other Pokemon to be adaquite to combat the 4th evo it should be all good.

 

[Pokemon Trainer SonicLife]

I've actually noticed that when my Victini reached Level 100, It's stats could still go up.....

 

[Ditto B1tch]

Never!!!!!!!!!!!!

Be back later keeds.

Agreed

This is also how Game Freak officially classify the evolution stage. So considering that fact, plus the eviolite Game Freak won't be giving pokémon 3rd or 4th evolution.

Furthermore evolution is pokémon growing from a child to a fully developed adult.

Do you mean that you're Victini doesn't have maxed stats?
That isn't surprising if you haven't EV trained or IV bred it. Do you know what these are, because I could explain them to you if you want, or I'm sure there's an article about them on the main site.

 

[PerseusRad]

I used to think about that, but I realized that that could unbalance a few things. What I didn't think about are more branch evolutions, which could be interesting, though it would have to be done correctly.

 

[Mitja]

If they ever wanted to make more than the 3 stages, they would have done so in the past 5 generations.

Agreed

This is also how Game Freak officially classify the evolution stage.

No they would not.

The "Basic" thing is entirely made up by TCG, along with the redundant "Baby" stage which only serves to cause confusion and makes people think there are 4 stages for pokemon.


Gamefreak, whatever words or notations they would use, it would be like this:

1

2

3

.
Nothing more and nothing less.
This is simply from the fact that all pokemon give out 1, 2 or 3 total EffortPoints, depending on what stage they are in their family.

Do not look at TCG for "official" classifications, because they often even contradict themselves, like making Lileep an evolved pokemon, or have baby pokemon but then some baby pokemon like Togepi and Riolu are basic... they do what they want.

 

[Luxvan]

I don't think there should, unless maybe it was a legendary.
But otherwise, alt-evo's fix the solution.

 

[Dragalge]

......never. Especially if you throw Blaziken/Rhyperior/etc in the blender.

 

[rabidepicgoose]

No, I think that branching is fine, but I feel like it would just be too much if Pokemon had more evolutions.

 

[Lucario95]

I think no, with 3 is good with me, if adding more stages it will be overpowered and the stats will be a mess.

 

[ShiningKnightXY]

The irony is that someone else suggested this same topic a week or so ago. I will say, again, that it would greatly change the game as we know it. It's one thing to introduce a new battle system, but it's a whole different story when you add more evolutions to already powerful pokemon.

 

[Arceusgamer14]

No, I think it's only up to Three stages and Multi Evolutions that we're going to get for the rest of are Pokémon lives!

 

[~Kari~]

NO. That would be way too confusing and make the Eviolite way too overpowered.

 

[Zachmac]

I don't know... magikarp could use an evo between it. I mean... its like fish...GIANT DRAGON.

That's the point. Magikarp is very, very weak, but if you give it the time to train, it'll become very powerful very fast.
