Why do the Writers make Pokémon who "won't evolve?" or just don't evolve
I am confused as to why the writers of the animé make Pokémon like Pikachu and Piplup not evolve (Also pokémon like Totodile, Gible who aren't evolved). The animé's main purpose is supposed to advertise the games, correct? Well, in the games EVERYONE playing them fully evolves their pokémon. You won't see anyone playing the games in Sunyshore city with a Piplup, no it'll be an Empoleon. Sure, there's "mascot" purpose but why the hell can't they have mascots that are actually fully evolved? What are you guys' thoughts?
