I like to think this means many of the interconnected legendary/mythical Pokemon are actually connected by an as of yet-undiscovered pre-evolution.
okay but Imagine
>fearow can now evolve with a fire, ice or thunderstone
>>31060110
oh fuck
>>31060090
cosmoem evolves into solgaleo at night, or lunala at day.
>>31060413
You had one job.
>>31060090
>Groudon and Kyogre pre-evolution
>Xerneas and Yveltal pre-evolutions
>Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Ho-Oh and Lugia pre-evolution galore
No thanks. The Cosmog line was a mistake enough in itself.
>>31060090
But these legendaries are actually Ultra Beasts, so...
These legendaries are from different dimensions, they work under different logic than this universe's pokemon.
>>31060090
Those aren't even pokemon, but pokemon equivalents from another universe.
There they are equivalent to regular foddermons but being brought to weaker universe the become godlike.
no it just means GF doesn't give a fuck about patterns
they could introduce a 4 stage evolution family next gen and I wouldn't even be surprised at that point.
>>31060090
>Pokemon
>Posts Ultra Beasts
One job.
>>31060586
ultra beasts are pokemon.
>>31060560
They did last gen. Mega Evolutions.

>The Cosmog line was a mistake enough in itself
It wasn't though
I do agree giving pre-evos to box legendaries for the sake of it now would be a dumb idea, however.
On the other hand, I guess now they have no excuse to not let carbinks evolve into diancies or phiones into manaphies. No matter how convoluted the method, gamefreak has broken the barrier and there's no going back.
>>31060647
Mega Evolutions aren't separate Pokemon. They're forme changes with a fancy name. Fuck off tripfag.
>>31060090
Except they aren't legendaries, they are Ultra Beast
>>31060090
The only ones that would make sense to me would be Latis, Tapu, Dogs and Genies.
>>31060767
Then why does an NPC in XY say that Pokemon now evolve during battle instead of saying Pokemon change formes during battle?
>>31060465
haha epic black surprise box bro
>>31060801
Mega Evolution =/= Evolution
Form Changes =/= Evolution
Mega Evolution = Form Changes
>>31060839
Whatever makes you sleep at night, man. Already confirmed to be an evolution for Pokemon making 4 stages real.
>>31060869
>Already confirmed to be an evolution for Pokemon
But it's not. It's the same Pokemon. Not a new Pokemon.
>>31060869
Dude. Evolution has never, ever been temporary. It's a permanent deal. Form Changes are basically non-permanent evolution. That's exact what Megas are - non-permanent evolution. Therefore, it's a form change.
You already look like an idiot for being a tripfag, tripfag. Don't make yourself look more like one by spouting shit like a retard even you don't fully believe.
>>31060916
>>31060927
Listen. They would not have put in an NPC in XY that clearly states "Pokemon can now evolve during battle!" if they did not mean it.
>>31060965
Lore isn't the same as mechanics. How are you having such a hard time understanding that?
>>31060839
[citation needed]
>>31060986
Because it literally states it's an evolution. How the fuck are YOU having a hard time understanding something as simple as that?
>>31060647
>>31060801
>>31060869
>>31060965
>>31061011
>>31061019
Are you guys actually 12? Or just autistic?
>>31061063
I know XY sucked ass but it's right in this case. Four stages have existed since last gen.
>>31061063
>>31061084
nice tripcode removal
also [citation needed]
>arguing over semantics
There are Pokemon who have four sequential forms. There are not any Pokemon that have four sequential and permanent forms. Who cares what a given person means by "evolution". We have yet to see a permanent form that has three previous forms.
>>31061190
Put your trip back on so I can keep you filtered
>>31060090
Don't think so. Cosmog and Cosmoem exist because a Solgaleo and a Lunala bred and had them
>>31061208
He's literally arguing the exact opposite of what ol' Two-Genders Neutron is saying.
You're dumb
>>31060647
There are only two genders. The rest are mental illnesses
>>31060545
Pretty sure Solgaleo and Lunala are special even within the UBverse. Not only do they have a crisp 110 BST over the other UBs, they have the power to freely open portals between universes, something other UBs can't do
>>31060741
Yeah they still do. They're different species you retard. God you people have autism.
>>31061545
>agree-ing with two-gender-Jimbo
for what purpose
>>31061661
What did he mean by this?
>>31060477
>>31060545
>>31060491
>>31060770
This, basically. It's weird because S and M's legendaries are just legendaries in the S and M universe BECAUSE they're UBs. The fact that they're extremely powerful helps, too. They're likely just regular old Pokemon in their own dimension, where 500+ BST is hinted to be the norm.
