I like evolving some pokemon while others I like to leave in their original form. Reason for liking to evolve: it increases the movepools and makes learning better moves quicker and easier. Reason for not evolving: I like some of the pokemon like Pichu in their original form and don't want to evolve them

I sometimes don't evolve pokemon such as Phanpy and Cyndaquil because of how cute they are.

Evolved Pokemon look better and are better.
Some Pokemon, like Monferno and Ivysaur, look a lot better than their fully evolved forms, such as Infernape and Venusaur. So I wouldn't evolve those Pokemon.
On the other hand, Togetic is really ugly, as is Cherubi and Croconaw. So I'd evolve those ones.
It's a matter of aesthetic preference.

Some unevolved Pokemon have advantages over their fully evolved counter parts.
Many learn moves at a lower level than they do at their 2nd/3rd evolution. Doing this may also cause you to miss out on learning moves. Starly learns Brave Bird at level 37, but then it misses out on learning Close Combat via level-up because Staraptor learns that at level 34.
Many pick up a second typing upon evolution, though this usually doesn't make them better than their fully evolved counterpart. One of the exceptions is Cyther, who is Flying/Bug, compared to Scizor, who is Bug/Steel.
Using Scyther/Scizor again, Scyther is much faster whereas Scizor has better defenses.
Magmar and Electabuzz are also faster than their 4th gen evolutions.
Pikachu also has the use of a Light Ball

I was hesitant to evolve Phanpy cuz it's so adorable but it just seemed right to. I never evolve Tangela. Tangrowth is disgusting.

I like to evolve most of my pokemon because I feel like that will help them reach their full potential and un-evolved pokemon are not at their full potential. I'm also more into a pokemon's cool factor more so than their cute factor and most fully evolved pokemon look cooler. I also keep at least one pokemon from each evolution stage such as Abra-Kadabra-Alakazam etc. So I do have some un-evolved pokemon but I usually don't use them in battle.
