>evolution takes away something you loved about a Pokemon
We've all experienced this before. What evo line hit you with it the hardest?
>>31467975
Vikavolt's speed :(
>>31467975
Salandit. Salazzle is shit-tier furbait that ruined the best looking 'mon in at least 2 gens
Also, the entire Popplio line
>>31468046
>Lizard
>fur
Nice try Ferrothorn
>>31468046
This. Salandit is fucking amazing but Salazzle is meh
Also, for some reason I fucking love Stufful but have mixed feeling about Bewear
Porygon is cute
Porygon2 is cuter
Porygon-Z is not cute. Yeah yeah, I've seen it's amie expressions and stuff, but it's still not cute.
>>31467975
>Haunter evolves into a fat fuck
>>31468216
haunter was based
gengar is shit
>>31467975
I hope your pic is related OP
Gengars ok but I love Haunter's floating body and unattached hands.
>>31467975
Haunter's shiny being actually distinguishable.
I'd be mad if Mega Gengar didn't exist.Also rip levitate
Although Weavile is banging competitively, its not as cool as Sneasel (no pun intended)
Exhibit A of why cross-gen evos are dead
>>31468033
>Loses 30 speed upon evolving
Existence is pain
>>31468297
i luv rhyperior you have bad taste
Loses Levitate for Pressure :(

>>31468179
I agree that Salandit was wasted potential and Salazzle is pretty shit. Even if it's not furbait, it only has to compete with Heliolisk in terms of its lizardbait. I don't understand why they couldn't give Salandit a female and male evolution, at least the male Combee has a good reason not to evolve.
>>31468046
I'll agree with Salandit (Popplio was always trash).
Salandit was great. A nice shifty-eyed, bandit lizard. Why did it turn into a slutty anthropomorphized lizard lady?
>>31468258
My nyukka
Litten is perfection torracat and incineroar are straight out ugly
>>31467975
Yes, it's a gun that evolves into a turret, I know that. But Remoraid has way more features of a gun than Octillery does of an artillery turret. Octillery is incredibly weak at giving off its origin through its design; it's literally my mom's octopus.
A better evolution would've been Remoraid evolving into a barracuda/sniper rifle fusion. It keeps the gun->bigger gun evolution, but it makes more sense, since revolvers have more in common with sniper rifles than artillery cannons.
Machoke turns from a handsome dragon-lizard to a Dedede looking freak
>>31468216
fuck you you retarded piece of shit its the ugly 3D model because of gamefreak's incompetence
>>31470914
>>31468258
Thse guys get it
>>31470967
Except Gengar also looked dumb in RBY, RSE, DPPT/HGSS and BW2, he only ever looked cool in GSC sprites, and even only then in the frontsprite.
Mega gengar fixes him though a shame it's 2gud and is banned
>>31470944
Pokken makes machamp look cool
I like wartortle a whole lot better than blastoise.
>>31471052
Blastoise suffers from art evolution a lot.
The blue cover art version of blastoise looks great, for instance.
Hit with the ultra ugly stick
Omaster is okay but the pure cuteness of omanyte is sad to lose.
>best starter
>evolutions are ugly
Why the fuck did they lose the snout and closed eyes?
>>31467975
I just realized today that as soon as my Alolan Meowth learned Pay Day, I let it evolve into Persian, and that I had completely forgotten that Persian no longer has Pickup.
This guy looks so snug before it evolves
>>31468258
Although it has grown on me I still agree with you.
Bulbasaur is cute, Ivysaur is nicel, Venusaur is just lazy.
I mean, all gen 1 starters were nice improvements from one another.
Cute happy fire lizard, pissed off fire lizard, badass fire lizard-dragon.
Cute happy turtle, pissed off turtle, badass turtle-cannon.
Cute happy seed dinosaur, pissed off blossom dinosaur, and... Fatass flower toad-dinosaur thing.
Mega Venusaur is even lazier.
Also, Treecko is cool, Grovyle is cooler, Sceptile is horrible. Although Mega Sceptile does fix it.
I could go on and on, there are a lot of Pokémons that I loved when were first announced or I just found out about, but was entirely let down after discovering the evolution. That's why I simply can't play a Pokémon (or even Fakemon) game without knowing the full Pokédex before.
I agree with most that has been said, but I think Weavile is as cool as Sneasel, and Dusknoir ir immensely better than Dusclops.
>>31468179
It's the tag
I love Incineroar overall, but it really loses many of the feline features I loved about Litten and Torracat. As well as the speed.
Salandit was really cool, but Salazzle is too feminine and weird.
Torchic and Combusken are alright, but Blaziken is so ugly. It just loses any cuteness for attempted edge.
to this day masqurain is my least favorite pokemon for ruining surskit.
>>31467975
The lifeless, blank stare.
Magnezone doesn't look like a machine anymore.
>>31471256
Gen 7 made up for it by giving us Golisopod and Araquanid.
>>31471396
Giving us new bug/water types doesn't save surskit's line in any way what so ever.
It gets fat
I dont even like Togepi
>>31470851
Everything about Dusknoir is an abomination.
This is one
>>31471621
Except the name. Dusknoir is such a cool and mysterious name.
Kricketot into kricketune is another one
Gothorita is p e r f e c t
Gothitelle just messes it up
>>31468046
you probably wouldn't hate it if it wasn't gender exclusive
because its just "its just get bigger" evolution
Alolan raichu loses lightning rod
Cant believe no one mentioned Dragonair into Barney yet
>>31468046
>>31470894
I hate this furbait/waifubait meme
>Never forgive
>Never forget
Crabominable is fucking terrible. It not only ruined Crabrawler, but it's also one of the worst designs in the series.
>>31468216
It's a Clefable shadow you dumb prick
>>31471909
You hate things that are true?
>>31468297
Who looked at this and said "yes, this is how it should look"?
>>31472097
How is furbait when it's literally just a bigger Salandit? I'm talking about design, not lore.
>>31472123
Why are you separating the two? It's disgusting ass lore is part of the Pokemon. Its Pokedex entry alone is disgusting shit that's clearly meant to pander to kids who get horny for lizards.
>>31472093
>this meme
>>31472137
The lore doesn't affect the design you retard. Or would the design suddenly become good if the lore didn't exist?
ampharos
Floette into Florges loses the "it's holding a flower" and becomes "it's a flower".
Bothers me.
>>31470851
dusclops didn't have levitate either.
Fuck Barney.
>>31467975
Oshawott

Yes it does, it puts them out of their misery.

Mega Venusaur literally adds a couple of leaves and calls it a day. The fuck were they thinking?
>>31471641
Honestly the whole line is repulsive
>>31467975
Samurott
>>31470851
That whole line ruined Duskull
charizarrd, what a faggot

I don't mind him being ugly, what really went wrong here was the loss of the coconut crab anatomy. Crabominable just looks like a white gumdrop with legs. The new claws don't feel right either.
As it evolves
>no longer a barn owl (my favorite bird)
>loses its cool hair
>loses its cute rich boy aspect
>gains ridiculous glasses
>>31467975
>loses fluffy feathers
>loses fangs
Blastoise is so disappointing.

>Porygon and Porygon2 cute
found the one with shit taste.
>>31468196
shit tastetheyre all perfect
Goes from adorable, believable, deepsea fish to boring, "cute", dolphin-esc, poorest excuse of an anglerfish I've ever seen.
>>31474058
Crabominable isn't a coconut crab anymore. It's a yeti crab.
>>31474471
Holy shit this. Chinchou is one of my favorite johto mon and lanturn shits on all the cool aspects like the X eyes and the antennas.
>>31468216
I warmed up to gengar more after I heard of the headcanon that the gastly line is just gengar getting more and more visible

Fuck Aromatisse.
>>31472446
I was really hoping for dragonite-A with a dragon/water typing after not getting a mega.
Scolipede losing "the state of being a wheel"
It didn't hit me the hardest, but I love Cottonee'a ears and wish it kept them.
>>31467986
I don't care, I love it.
>>31471159
bugmom makes other bugs snug, at least
>>31467975
I loved Pikipek and Trumbeak. Toucannon is so lackluster.
Likewise with Dragonair and Dragonite.
