Why in the absolute FUCK does an ELECTRIC SQUIRREL not evolve into the ELECTRIC FLYING SQUIRREL? That's literally the most "Pokémon" concept that I can think up.
same reason real life squirrels don't grow up into flying squirrels

No. Fuck you. Absolutely go fuck yourself.
Squirrel evolves into flying squirrel. This is intuitive. This is logical progression and pokémon-style logic at its finest. Like a piranha evolving into a shark, a pony evolving into a unicorn, or duck evolving into a swan.
Literally squirrel -> flying squirrel is the first thing I would EVER think of for a pokémon, other than tadpole -> froglet -> frog.

I think the duck into swan is a reference to the ugly duckling, or maybe just that swan chicks look like ducks in general.

Pikaclones aren't allowed to have evolutions ever since gen 3. There's your reason.

but the flying squirrel looks exactly like the regular squirrel
to me, emolga is more like an alternate pachirisu (like alolan raichu to regular raichu) than an improved pachirisu. they even have the same stat total
the only way to make this right would be to make emolga look bigger and more threatening
