Weird Evolutions

Specialbeamcanon

SUCH PERFECTION
Well I don't know if it's been explained already or not (if it has just quote it for me or direct me to the page #) but the one I don't get is oshawott's line.
It goes otter --> otter --> freaking loch ness monster unicorn thing
Its been explained like a million times in this goddam thread. But here is one of the quotes
Samurott is based off of a sea lion and an otter.
He is mix of the two animals. Instead of evolving into a bigger otter(which would be boring), GF combined one aquatic mammal with another. Making a combination of two different aquatic mammals.

Magmorter is a little weird, why would it look so drastically different to it's other stages?

the weirdest one i think is pupitar being wedged between larvitar and tyranitar. I'm suprised that no one's mentioned any pokemon where it's weird they -weren't- evolutions though, like luvdisc and alomomola.

Magmortar looks different than Magmar? True, the Cannons, potbelly and Spikes are new, but... Merge flamey things on head into one, put flames on shoulders, Cannon-ify hands, Spikes, Pot Belly, it's a new sensation of duck evolution.

But yeah.

Umm... Anyone else think it's wierd how Tyrogue splits into the three fighters? Have you looked at them side by side? And then there's Graveler - Golem, which made me confused the first time I saw it.

Not really, figure that yrogue is a youth fighter who speciaizes in one particular martial arts style when he evolves.

This is a good point, but I think it's because the creators meant for the Unova Pokemon to be unique from all the others. Notice that in all other generations, they had Pokemon that evolved in a later generation, or, in the case of the baby Pokemon, a previous generation. The fifth gen, however, has no such "evolutionary patterns," or whatever you want to call it.

Darumaka into Darmanitan. You're cute little fire mammal evolved into a gigantic ape that can turn into a statue and use psychic powers.

Darumaka cute? And anyway, don't forget, Darumaka can turn itself into a rubber pu bnching clown like wobble thingy too, a precursor to the psychic statue.
