Unnecessary Evolutions

I don't understand how magikarp goes to gyrados

How Tynamo evolves into Elektrik.
A small and weak fish evolving into an eel.

Very cool but very strange at the same time.

I was surprised at the Johto Pokemon when I first looked at it. The final evolution looks nothing when compared to the previous forms like how Gloom evolves into Bellosom and Poliwhirl evolves into Politoed.
Hopip and Mareep evolutions surprised me throughout the whole game.

But it's just there to make it interesting and not make Pokemon evolution look obvious to an adults eye.

Lol, Magikarp doesn't have that capability.

Did you just dis Magikarp? I can't believe my eyes, this is a Outrage. Horrible happening here just horrible. Someone should delete this post so no one else has to experience this. We don't want to hurt the little children, do we?

How does Snivy go into a Bigger version of its self to a Freakin Snake i mean it loses every thing Arms Legs etc. it just doesn't make sense.
 
I never even questioned it when I was younger, but a lot of evolutions are pretty frickin' weird.

But evolution is supposed to be 'not make sense', cuz it's evolution.

Magikarp to Gyarados is based on a Chinese/Japanese myth where every year karps (a kind of fish) try to jump over a mystical waterfall that is VERY high and whoever makes it over is transformed into a Dragon by the Gods for their hard work and determination, and those who don't make it will either give up or keep trying until they die.

I think what really doesn't make sense is karrablast>escavalier and shelmet>accelgor instead of the the other way around.
