>Would you use it, VP?
YES
WITHOUT A DOUBT
I WANT MY CUTEMONS

Why would I want to give Torracat worse
>>33342881
Do they learn the moves of their Evo or just inherit their stats?
>>33342881
No because I'm not an NFEcuck
>>33342904
It would effectively be the evolution, but looks the same.
Ex. Magikarp can learn Dragon Dance
How does one apply this to the various alternate and split evos?
Actually you just reminded me, I wanted to discuss this shit too.
I think Pokemon desperately NEEDS a way to viably use non fully evolved Pokemon.
I don't think your item solution works though, because you're gimping yourself way too much for nothing more than a visual change.
I have no solid solution to the fix either though, mind you, maybe make it a toggle / a post game NPC that does some shit so that the pokemon in question will not evolve, but be treated as if it did evolve (aka gaining the same stat boosts as its evo form).
I don't even know why I'm entertaining this idea though, it's never going to happen but it's something I've always wanted.

I'm always in for more Magikarp memes, sign me up!

>Magikarp used hyper beam!
>Magikarp used hydro pump!
>Magikarp used fly!
I want it.
>>33342924
It'd never happen, but it'd most certainly be a nice touch for people who love a mon's second stage, but not it's thirdDewott
>>33342924
Oh right, I meant an item as in something you use on it such as Ability Capsule, not like a held item if that's what you thought i meant.
>>33343008
Oh then yes, I like your idea a lot too.
I did indeed think you meant giving up a held item.
>>33342975
Exactly, and it would just help add variety to online. There's over 800 pokemon now and we probably see about 100 or so regularly in online battles.
>>33342881
Yeah, I always wanted something like that...
>Opponent sent out Porygon-2!
>it could be porygon-2
>it could also be porygon-z
>it could have any number of sets from both of these pokemon
>>33342975
And braixen, its third stage is one of the worst drops in Pokemon design in rhe whole series
I also love trubbish, but hate garborder
Anyway, this could only work for certain Pokemon or only transfer stats and not typing/ability. Flying surskit with intimidate would be bonkers
