Its been explained like a million times in this goddam thread. But here is one of the quotesWell 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
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.Samurott is based off of a sea lion and an otter.
Magmorter is a little weird, why would it look so drastically different to it's other stages?
I think Larvitar is a reptile not a mammal.Larvitar - Pupitar - Tyranitar
To my mind that is:
Cute Little Mammal - Puppa stage of insect - Dinosaur
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.
Design wise, the evolution makes sense. But I do agree with the species change.Marrill to Azumarrill. How does a rat become a rabbit?
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.
Unfezant is a Pheasant. It looks nothing like like a chicken...Tranquill -> Unfezant
Congratulations! Your pigeon evolved into a chicken!
Darumaka into Darmanitan. You're cute little fire mammal evolved into a gigantic ape that can turn into a statue and use psychic powers.
