Again, what mistake?
I used Primeape and Togetic 🙁
Man, Gen 2 sucks at completing the Pokemon. They ways feel empty.
Blame the useless baby Pokémon. They stole dex slots that should have gone to evolved forms for many Gen2 Pokémon. The kicker is that there even more babies planned than what we got but even Game Freak realized that was too much and told the designer with baby rabies to stop. Though Igglybuff was allowed to stay and not the one tailed Vulpix is a mystery
The best part is that, aside from Pichu and Togepi, none of the baby mons became merchandise powerhouses like the devs were hoping. So they're STILL wastes of dex slots.
Pokémon are created to incentivize specific methods of catching Pokémon.
Several Pokémon in Gen I are locked behind stone evolution, trade evolution, fossils, fishing, surfing, and gifts such as the Game Corner. In Gen II, they made time based encounters, headbutting trees, smashing rocks, swarms, and yes, hatching eggs.
Babies were created to get people to breed their Pokémon instead of catching them in the wild outright, especially since babies were locked behind the method.
They are not dex filler for the same reason that fossil Pokémon aren’t. Just because you hate them doesn’t mean they are a waste of a slot.
Jigglypuff was popular in the anime while Vulpix was not.
>Babies were created to get people to breed their Pokémon instead of catching them in the wild outright
What am I supposed to breed if I don't already have the evolved form?
I hope Ledian gets one, Spinda too
Dewgong needs one. Pure ice.
Which Pokemon do you think will get cross-gen evos next?
No idea. Cross evos aren’t like super-saiyan forms so pretty much anyone can get them.

People could say the same thing about trade evolutions until Porygon-Z came about.
Your autistic rules mean nothing.

Cross gen evos were a mistake
Feel like Fearow is pretty likely, its line is still pretty relevant all things considered.
Though that might just end up being a regional Spearow evolution.
Probably Ledian just because its kinda dumb that its unusable entirely. Or Ariados, though thats less extreme. Guess Delcatty by this logic.
I do like Ariados more than Ledian though. Maybe Miltank on a less "man this just sucks" type of thought though.
Cause I feel like the evolution of that would probably be sorta funny. Like yeah you probably could just adjust moveset until its good, but thats gay.

Basculegion, Clodsire, Cursola, Mr. Rime, Obstagoon, Overqwil, Perrserker, Runerigus, Sirfetch'd, and Sneasler are not cross gen evolutions. Their base forms are all introduced in the same generation as them.
Gay authority
You're only half right about Basculegion, because only one of the two Basculin it evolves from is a new form. White Basculin/Basculegion is new, but Red Basculegion evolve from regular Red Basculin from Gen 5
No they don’t. Basculegion only evolves from White Stripe Basculin. The color difference is gender-based.
What?
I'm sorry, what?
This franchise is a shitload of frick.
For sure. There was no good reason to introduce White Stripe Basculin. It’s not like Stantler needed a new form for its new evolution. It completely fricks over blue and red Basculins unnecessarily.
Yeah, it feels really dumb. The gender difference also feels really pointless, to the point where I'm wondering why they even bothered. I know salmon have gender differences, but the female Basculegion looks terrible, what with the lipstick and eyelashes. We could've just as easily had a red stripe and blue stripe Basculegion instead, which everyone expected after Basculegion was announced.
IMO the fact that Basculegion has two forms, with one of them being red in color, makes me think they were originally planned to be normal evos to Red and Blue Basculin.
Then somewhere in the design phase, Blue Basculegion was made into a white female Basculegion.
Then from there, White Basculin was made.
It’s so fricking dumb that it’s not like that. GF is fricking stupid sometimes.
>nobody used Seadra in Gen2 and 3
Kingdra was added in Gen 2, genius
>nobody used Hitmonchan nor Hitmonlee in Gen1
False lmao
>nobody used Primeape in Gen1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8
Primeape has always been popular and used plenty non-competitively
I think they mainly did it so that can have an excuse to use either form since they have different attacking roles. Male is a physical attacker while female is a special attacker.
Regional form evolutions are the true mistake.
Can't believe base Corsola/Farfetch'd/Qwilfish etc are now permanently fricking worthless.
They always were.

Unown, Ledian, Luvdisc, and Tropius are among the most glaring "this thing needs an evo to not suck as much" Pokemon, especially now that mons like Farfetch'd and Dunsparce have gotten evos now
In terms of gen 1 mons, I think Dewgong and Seaking are good candidates
As for personal wishes, I wanna see evos for Parasect and Lumineon
Farfetch'd didn't get an evo it got a replacement.
why was this image organized the way it is
my tism is particularly bothered by yanmega and dusknoir drooping down for no discernable reason
Someone made this when they announced Duraladon was getting an evo despite having a whopping 535 BST, pretty much everyone in the leftmost column besides Shedinja / Smeargle could use an evo
Duraldon evo could be a Scizor or more likely Porygon Z situation
Scizor and Kleavor hard telegraph that they are "variants" of Scyther.
And Porygon-Z also telegraphs that its now more frail. Don't really see why you hold extra hope in the latter.
Archaludon is blatantly meant to be "stronger Duraludon" in visuals.
Archaludon feels like scizor in the sense that it will be slower, probably hit harder, and tank more.
I just hope its all SpA and barely any Atk or Spe
I mean yeah but Scizor implies no BST change; which is what I actually meant.
"It gets slower" isn't even a specific crossgen trait; you have shit like Incineroar that becomes a slow frick only by final.
A tanky slow mon that hits hard isn't exactly far from normal Duraludon.
I feel like Archaludon is likely to be intended to meta so i'd expect some minmaxing, unless its legitimately a pseudo(which isn't impossible but I doubt it).
It probably will be somewhat harder in the SpA direction as we literally just got HGoodra.
Slower
>Scizor and Kleavor hard telegraph that they are "variants" of Scyther
Hindsight headcanon
Gains 20BST but also loses speed and has it minmaxed like Z.
Implying this isn't Ursaluna again. Which yes came with the feared "speed drop" cause woe is the already sub 100 mon losing speed.
Porygon Z and Scizor are both notable shifts in function, which the Archaludon you are implying is not.
Exact BST amounts is kinda whatever technically, outside of the Scizor case at that is full out just rearrangement.
It wasn't just Unite shilling, its attached to the winning gen 8 character in terms of actual popularity.
The fact that nobody particularly likes it while being in this spot makes it a prime candidate.
Also no giga, I think Dura was actually relevant in VGC? Not sure because I barely payed attention.
Its sig ability is very delibately meant to be super good in doubles though. Like no gimmick, just break a very common doubles tactic.
You have autism.
>Porygon Z and Scizor are both notable shifts in function, which the Archaludon you are implying is not
So? You're the one with some rule it has to have s shift in function. I'm just saying some stat changes akin to Z
Using particular mons implies certain things.
Z is a small BST change and a overall dynamic shift. Scizor is flat out only a dynamic shift.
By your fricking logic I can predict it'll evolve like Charmeleon into Charizard. Examples bring forth connotations.
Like anon said you have austim.
Shut the frick up dumbass, you are braindead and lack social comprehension.
Yeah cause using examples with purpose is so braindead, unlike you using them redundantly which is high IQ.
I understand what you are getting across, doesn't mean I don't consider you moronic.
>you are getting across
You're beyond the pale now moron
>devising autistic assumptions and headcanon conclusions from a few words is not autism suddenly
You have autism. Get checked out.
Getting so pissy over this with barely any explanation is the autistic thing.
You can't counter what I'm saying except by crying that its thinking too much to actually consider what is being said.
Which is two examples of mons switching purpose with low BST variance.
Looks like we got another patterngay
This frickin place lmao
Yeah okay moron. You can cry about me pointing out how stat spreads changed over evolution stages.
Try to group me with insane theoriests, it'll look real sane when its about objective facts.
>He's still being moronic
Oh look, more headcanon narrative
How surprising!
Something like this is what I expect. Like nothing to its speed, 20 points but then jack the rest into Sp attack and some more defence. Maybe reduce attack, but doubt it
Apart from the autist crying over it it'll probably be like this. If that like Porgyon Z or not it doesn't matter but its similar in having a small gain overall to bst
It is the most obvious "telegraph" of them all. It literally changes it's function from a building to a bridge.
>Diggersby, Dugtrio, or Marowak with an evolution
>eviolite Quagsire/Clodsire
Are you insane?
I’ll argue that Archaludon exists to give more credence to it being a rival to Tyranitar
Digits and Palafin gets an evo with water type Close Combat
fixed
What did you fix exactly? Just white out any Pokemon you feel don't need new forms? Or is there a method to the madness here?
>Which Pokemon do you think will get cross-gen evos next?

Druddigon

Throh
Magcargo evo based on this PLEASE
It hurt too much i had to draw this while i was at the gym
Sick work
I still dont understand how duralduron and applin got one so soon
duraludon got one because it was a failure. They tried shilling it in Unite but it ended up too bad.
I feel like Applin is getting one because it was carried by G-Max and now that's gone
duraludon was a rare failed shillmon, and not just kinda failed, it bombed
not even being the signature mon of one of the most popular characters of its gen helped it
a proper evo for Mr.Mime
an evo for Jynx
They will definitely do a bug/ice scyther evo at some point to complete the trio. Probably with picks/icicles for hands
It already is a trio
Scythe is the base form which grows armor types, steel, rock, and now ice.
Because steel/ice/rock is a trio of 'material' types. They are what you built shit out of, like regis, or scyther armor. Fighting types show their prowess by breaking through them. They are organized by their hardness with steel being the hardest type, then rock, then ice
>not bug/ground pickaxes
Eevee should have a evolution for each type imo
also Shuckle since I want to see people use Eviolite on it
CHARIZARD should get like 3 more evolutions
>DUDE WHAT IF [OLD MON I LIKE] WAS RUINED BY NUGF
crossgen evos fricking suck. Only gen 2's were majority good.
Hypno or Kanto Mr mime seem ripe for one, especially if the mime keeps more of the lines cute qualities. Hope that collage anon is doing well
>all these variants
>no kantonian Mr Rime
Luvdisc getting an evo in the inevitable gen5 remakes where it resembles Alomomola would be neat.
the way this thing is ordered pisses me off, what the frick is going on
I hope they break the pattern of evolutionary stone mons being unable to evolve and give Scovillain an evo because he just looks so incomplete.
>what do I think will?
No idea. I would’ve never guessed Applin and Duraludon would get new evos, so god knows what’s going on in their heads.
>what do I want?
Because I hate only a regional form having an evo and not the original:
>Farfetch’d
>Qwilfish
>Linoone
>Mr. Mime
>Basculin
>Corsola
Others I would like to see:
>Mightyena
>Noctowl
>Banette
>Chimecho
>Jynx
>Which Pokemon do you think will get cross-gen evos next?
So PLA gave a ton of attention to Gens 2 and 5, and the next game will likely be in one of those two regions, so I can see those Gens not getting much next time.
Gen 1 will probably get something, as it literally always does.
Gen 3 was suspiciously passed up entirely in PLA. Gen 4 as well, but with good reason given it was ancient Sinnoh. I can see both Gens getting some love next.
Gens 6, 7, and 8 I feel are fair game, too. Though Gen 8 is already getting a ton of love as-in in the DLC, which is unexpected.
Lastly, Gen 9 is probably off the table for new evos.
>Which Pokemon do you want to get cross-gen evos next?
Mightyena for certain. As long as I get Wereyena (Or something like it) I'm happy.
Sunflora and Heliolisk both come to mind as well.
>Which Pokemon do you think will get cross-gen evos next?
So PLA started development in Autumn 2018 and released in early 2022. So around 3 1/2 years.
We're bound for a new game in late 2024/early 2025. Subtract 3 1/2 years, and we get a development start window of Summer 2020 - Autumn 2021.
Likely in that early window, they'd start making and selecting new Pokemon designs to appear in the game (Once the region is decided early on)
Right now, things seemingly point towards Unova getting something next. So what non-Unova Pokemon may get Unovan forms?
In Pokemon Masters, there have been a couple of sync-pairs involving Unovan trainers and suspiciously unfitting Pokemon
>Caitlin, a Psychic trainer, got a Sableye. A non-Psychic Pokemon not even in Unova's Pokedex
>Hilbert got a Mightyena. Another Pokemon not even in Unova's Pokedex
>Hilda got Grapploct. A Pokemon that came to be well after BW/B2W2
>Burgh, a Bug trainer, got a Togepi. A non-Bug Pokemon not in Unova's Pokedex
>Elesa, an Electric trainer, got a Togetic. A non-Electric Pokemon again not found in Unova's Pokedex
>Skyla got a Togekiss. Which although matches her being a Flying trainer, is once again not found in Unova's Pokedex.
Given when these sync-pairs came into existence, maybe the developers caught wind of these particular Pokemon appearing a future Unova game?
So they include them now so they can revisit these pairs in the future. Perhaps Mightyena and Grapploct evolve in a future game?
Other trainers got some legendaries, like Diancie, Shaymin, and Naganadel. They could make an appearance as well.
Am I stupid, or am I onto something? Like I'm feeling pretty good on Mightyena and Grapploct specifically. Those two just really stand out.
Sableye as well, so maybe a regional variant as opposed to an evolution.
What would a Grapploct evo even be? Just a bigger octopus?

as nice as these would be to see i dont think well ever see male versions of female only evos or the other way around
gallade as a counterpart to gardevoir i think is the closest thing and even then gardevoir isnt female only
sudowoodo
I want Muk and Golurk to evolve
My logic has always been to look for neglected Pokemon that still have under 500 BST and don't feel like their theme is full explored. It also helps if that Pokemon has some notoriety and definitely helps if it's a Gen 1-3 or Gen 5 or 8 mon because apparently that's where they like to focus and those generations have a large number of single stage unviable mons or 2 stage but still unviable mons. Split evolutions are possible too
I'm personally looking at the following and I know it seems kind of random, but these are Pokémon I kind of want to see and kind of expect to get a cross-gen evolution very soon. Anything else that usually comes up in these threads I think is a better candidate for a regional
>Parasect (seems super obv to me)
>Golduck (feels too iconic for an Evo tho but it feels like one they'd pick)
>Bellsprout line (revisit the split Evo concept)
>Jynx
>Ledian
>Tropius
>Chimecho
>Swalot
>Delcatty
>Swoobat
>Crustle
>Thievul
>Stonjourner
I can't predict who or what gets evos, but I do know that atleast half of all mega evolutions should've been regular evolutions instead. Especially Mega Mawile, Mega Sableye, and Mega Banette.
Was looking through old art and found this old split evo i made of Glameow, where you have to max out its beauty stat instead of just lazily leveling it up
Looks good, kinda keeps some of the spirit of Purugly as well. did you make the Magcargo evo?
Yeah, i don’t make fakemon too often but its fun designing crossgen evos
Well hope things treat you well anon, that Skylax specifically REALLY scratched my brain good and I never wanted any fakemon to be as real as that. Do you have a social for any other nonpokemon art?
Uhh sure heres my twitter
https://twitter.com/BurgortonE
nice but you should make it more chesty
Some of these aren't even crossgen.
I didn't make the image, but it gets the point across.
Which ones aren't? They all (with the exception of Hitmontop, which is a unique case) were introduced at least a generation after the normal form of their respective prevolutions, right? Or are you referring to the regional evolutions debuting alongside regional variants?
Come to think of it, Porygon2 is missing.
drawanon here.
you know what? i may do a request or two of a cross gen evo. give me something fun to work from.
Drifblim is my all time favorite Pokemon. Do you have any ideas for him?
Here. it’s name is Driflade
amazing. I love him. Thank you so much!
Take your pick of Kanto Mr Mime, Chimecho, or Medicham.
Greedent maybe? I love the fat peter griffin squirrel and I'd love to see your take on a stage 3.
If you're still taking requests, would love to see your ideas for Mightyena or Grapploct.
Assuming this post is accurate
Was going to do Grapploct, but I got too hooked on the idea of giving Mightyena a more hyena-like evo
I could see it being called something like Prideana
Not bad man. Name could be better. The gays ruined the word "Pride" and I'm not sure if groups of Hyenas are even called Prides (Like Lions are) anyways.
Looks like it'd be a Dark/Ground type.
>Grapploct
Game Freak breaks patterns all the time so I can’t even predict their shit.
As for what I want to evolve, every Pokémon that can only evolve in its regional form should evolve in its original too.
As we have seen with Meowth, Yamask, and Sneasel, they can obviously make a Pokémon branch family for the regional.
Please
I fear what it could turn into, but eviolite is always cool
Scorvillain and Kilowattrel feel like they should have a third evolution. It's not necessary, but I'd love to see what a third stage of Tandemaus would look like. I'm also still waiting on that Jynx evo that puts it back alongside Electabuzz and Magmar.
