Why are these two different items?

>>33237969

Because gamefreak don't plan ahead.

Case closed.

>>33237969

Because the dawn stone has nothing to do with ice?

>>33237969
What exactly makes them similar?

>>33238227
Nothing, that's why they're two different items.

>>33237969
Gallade isn't Ice-type. Ninetales and Sandslash aren't gender-exclusive.

>>33238227

They're both blue-ish so that makes them the same, obviously.

>>33237969
I can understand Dawn and Shiny stone, specially since they evolve very few pokémon, but what does Dawn have to do with Ice?

>>33238275
Shiny evolves four Pokemon (Togekiss, Roserade, Cinccino and Florges), Dawn and Ice evolve two each.

>>33238283

Thunder stone only evolves Pikachu, Eevee and Eelektrik.

>>33237980
@ the eevee line

>>33237969
Evolution stones after gen 1 were awful

WHEN DID WE GET AN ICE STONE??

>>33238401
sun and moon

>>33238401

Do you even play Pokemon?

>>33237969

Game freak already explain it.

>>33237969
Gen 4 added the most infuriating, annoying amount of item-needed or location-specific evolutions. Gamefreak shot themsleves in the foot because they have to include all of that garbage in each damn gen and are too stubborn to retcon it.

>>33237969

Dawn Stone in Japanese is Awakening Stone, which makes more sense as it's used exclusively for gender-based evos

It "awakens" something inside of female Snorunt and male Kirlia to evolve them into Froslass and Gallade

>>33239483
sorry but that makes no sense

>>33239483
Exactly, without awakening, Kirlia becomes a transgender.

>>33239538
Stop baiting /pol/.

>>33239483
>Anon used Awakening Stone on Komala!
>It had no effect...

>>33238754
/vp/ hates SM because their parents didn't buy it for them.

>Dusk and Dawn forms
>don't use the corresponding stones

Do Pokémon even evolve via stones anymore?

>>33239780

Dusk and Dawn Stones aren't called that in Japan, they're called the Darkness and Awakening Stones there

>>33239795
>there is no Dusk stone
Then how will we get the new Lycanroc form, smart pants?

>>33239838

A special Rockruff that's being distributed as an event in November

>>33239882
That comes with a Dusk Stone.

>>33239941

Rockruff couldn't evolve with a Dusk Stone in Sun/Moon, so that's not happening

>>33239948
And the "Dusk Stone" is called the "Dark Stone" in nip anyway. If anything it'd be connected to the Midnight Form.

The question should be, when will Game Freak retconn stupid evo methods and make Glaceon evolve with the ice stone

>>33240172
>>33238359
EEVEE'S ENTIRE POINT IS TO SHOWCASE NEW MECHANICS/METHODS OF EVOLUTION. IF THEY ALL EVOLVED WITH STONES THAT WOULD BE FUCKING STUPID.

SO YOU ALL CAN SHUT UP ABOUT EEVEE EVOLVING WITH THE ICE/LEAF/DUSK/DAWN/SHINY/WHAT THE FUCK EVER STONES NOW!

>>33240252
No, they keep churning out stupid evo methods to keep continuity between games. They didn't want people asking why they couldn't evolve eevee into leafeon for old games if they made it evolve with leafstone.

>>33240172
I don't care how it evolves. I just want glaceon to be good.
