@@infinitecriativity1588 Yes, I am aware (especially since I saw you comment this in another thread on this video), but thank you. Honestly, Dusknoir's non-HP stats are fine-ish, especially since most Ghosts don't even break 70 base HP, even if I agree said stats could of course be better distributed. As such, I would argue it has always had three bigger problems even before Eviolite was made the next gen to make it even more laughable: 1. Its singular regular ability, Pressure, is meant more for defensive mons or at least mons with more reliable recovery, which means Dusknoir has no ability basically when it comes to its offense. Getting Frisk as its hidden ability did nothing to help this, even if I think that Frisk is underrated as an ability overall--just nothing great has it. 2. Said offense is rather undermined by Ghost arguably being the worst physically attacking type in the game (until they added Fairy at least), with rather weak generic one-turn physical moves until they added Poltergeist just in Gen 8. And even Poltergeist is conditional and inaccurate. 3. Outside of its rather wack STAB issues, Dusknoir also has pretty underwhelming coverage outside of Earthquake since its strongest non-STAB reliable physical moves after Earthquake are *all* 75 BP at strongest outside of the redundant Darkest Lariat in Gen 8 and random Normal moves. That's rather sad. When you factor in that Burn status and Intimdate run rampant in most tiers alongside Knock Off and (previously) Pursuit being on almost every team, it was always a bit doomed from the start even before a bunch of power creep *and* Eviolite happened literally next gen. Without bonkers stats and/or ability to back it up, being a physical Ghost with no secondary STAB is already going to be suffering even before the lack of an offensive ability (even crappy Iron Fist would have helped it), terrible speed, *and* bulk that's utterly undermined by terrible HP with no reliable recovery. Even just giving it Drain Punch would go a decent way towards make it less terrible.

I actually really didn't mind the baby Pokemon in gen 4 (exept maybe Chingling). I think they're all well designed Pokemon and add to their line well. Especially Mime Jr. It's probably in my top 10 Sinnoh Pokemon.

Another quirk with the evolutions: The one's who evolve through learning Ancient Power become "ancient" or prehistoric versions or themselves. Yanma becomes a huge dragonfly that roamed the early jungles billions of years ago. Piloswine becomes a Mammoth, self-explanatory. And Tangela, you could argue, becomes much more primal in a sense, as in being "hairier" and also possibly alluding to the denser forests that were around back then.

Dusknoir was also really necessary for the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky games where it was a major part of the story, and I don't think any other Pokemon could have filled his role.

I mean, Lickitung, and Tangela had evo and prevo ideas for gen 2 that got scrapped. So the "finish using old ideas" definitely checks out for those two.

Skarmory not getting a pre-evolution always bothered me considering it was a counterpart of Mantine. Secondary Flying type, same stat values but distributed differently, as Skarmory was more physically inclined. Not to mention Mantine getting a 20 point boost to HP.

We finally got more cross generational evolutions from Legends Arceus though; Wyrdeer, Kleavor, Ursaluna. Et Al.

The downside to the Gen IV evolutions was how they were treated in HGSS despite most of them evolving from Pokemon that can be found in Johto. If they required an item to evolve, be it an evolutionary stone or holding said item while trading, it was locked into the post-game. If they required a location to evolve, like the magnetic field for Magnezone or the Moss and Ice Rocks for Leafeon and Glaceon, you had to trade from the Sinnoh games since the locations did not exist at all in HGSS. Meaning that your only options for Gen IV evolutions in HGSS prior to beating the League are the ones that evolve via level up with a specific move (Ambipom, Lickilicky, Yanmega, Tangrowth, and Mamoswine).

7:29 I used to think Torkoal evolved into Turtonator in Pokémon Moon (Turtonator is a S/US exclusive). Turtonator (224) was right after Torkoal (223) and in the Dex it said Location was unavailable, which I knew appeared for those you needed to evolve and couldn’t be caught in the wild. They are similar species and typing. What a tease, I doubt that was a coincidence

The biggest head-scratcher to me is not why they added them, but why the vast majority of them aren't even in the regional dex. Why make you wait until post-game to see all these new things when the regional dex is very lacking as it is and could have definitely used the additions of all the Pokemon tied to these new evos? What about the people that only play the story?

I saw someone suggest that Budew was made because Roselia was too strong for the early game.

Fun little trivia: the evolution introduced in Gen 4 starting from Magnezone are organized by the last generation the most current member was introduced in. So if the most current member was introduced in Gen 1 they'd all be grouped together and so on for Gen 3 and 4.

I'd say Generation 8 regional variants are actual new evolutions, just for a different breed of the same Pokemon. Now especially, given that Legends Arceus came out and Ursaring literally just evolves into Ursaluna with no other strings attached.

With all the new evolutions in Legends Arceus, i hope Gen 9 also has more of these Let my boy Dunsparce evolve Also, China sucks

Dp does have some wierd Pokemon but I still love it

I Love new evolutions. Even more third stages. Magnezone, magmortar, electvire, mamoswine, etc.

I fully dissagree with rhyperion being a bad design. I think he looksawesome. And lickylicky is definitely weird but I love it. Mamoswine however just added another amazing evolution to one of my favorite pokemon. And Mammoth Boar Mole like creatures are like my top voted fantasy hybrid when creating beasts in fantasy haha

5:00 Can confirm: I caught a Mantyke in Legends, and decided to put a Remoraid in the party to see if it would evolve after leveling up with those conditions still. Close. In Legends: Arceus, that Mantyke was immediately ready to evolve upon being put in the party with a Remoraid. Although to be fair, it was level 34 or some such.

The Pokemon that got evolutions really did need them other than Eevee as they were never used and pretty weak and forgettable. The babies didn't need to be added

I actually REALLY miss this and I hope they do it again in gen 9. it really was one of my favorite things about gen 4

I wonder if instead of getting Physical type Eevees, we'll just get a different line for the Physical types.

Since dusknoir has the same massive bulk as dusclops, the eviolite made dusclops tankier and thus it is used more in competitive and nuzlockes than dusknoir

Man, everybody gets on Flygon's case for not being Bug/Dragon even though it's NOT A DRAGONFLY, and yet we're looking past Yanmega? The green and red prehistoric beast with a reptilian look, who IS actually a dragonfly? How si that not worthy of Bug/Dragon? I still adore Yanmega though, as an arthropod Stan I am obligated to. Accurate to its IRL basis while remaining a good and distinct creature design. I LOVE the tail wings, probably there to evoke a helicopter, as both dragonflies and helicopters can hover in place!

Gen 4 gave extra evolutions to old Pokémon. Gen 5 had a totally new dex so did nothing with old Pokémon. Gen 6 gave Mega evolutions to old Pokémon. Gen 7 gave regional variants to old Pokémon. Gen 8 gave regional variants, regional evolutions, and dynamax forms to old Pokémon. I think the reason they haven’t “revisited” the concept of adding evolutions is because they’ve kind of been doing it ever since. They never really stopped

Magmortar got the Cranidos cry on the video ;w; I personally like these evos and always, always expected Jynx to have one... Poor Jynx got outta the train because stupid people thought she was racist... Also I have a lot of appreciation for Magmortar since I got a shiny one that I catched on Diamond and passed through all games that he could be transferred! He won the Beauty contests in every game too!

When are you gonna be doing a video on all of the new Hisuian Form Pokémon?

What about Togekiss?!

Wait! People don't like Rhyperior that much? That's kinda sad to hear for me since Rhyperior is one of my favorite Pokemon

Yeah they did add alot of evolution for old pokemon, but most of them I've seen being used on competitive teams like magmortor, electivire,rhyperior, and roserade

Yeah this is why I'd like to see more prevos and evolutions. Megas were a neat concept but it's just pushing a Pokemon beyond its limits and is temporary, and like you said I don't count the regional variants, even if Meowth has a new evo in one of its... that is until Stantler in Legends Arceus, and maybe some others, I'm not that far and wouldn't spoil anything even if I was, you'll just have to wait and see. Pokemon that could use new evos... more Johto Pokemon come to mind right off the bat, Shuckle, Dunsparce, I could see Sudowoodo getting one especially since its prevo Bonsly's counter part Mime Jr got one in Galar, Girafarig though it would have to also have a palindrome name. I would've liked Heracross to get one, it's perfect as is but I think it could be even tougher and stronger looking, but then it got a mega... that may never show back up in the franchise again. Actually the biggest inspiration for this idea is a prevo for Tauros and Miltank, finally linking these 2 Pokemon together, they're in the same group, they should be linked together, and maybe a new evolution could be good for them too, but not as necessary as a prevo. Torkoal is another obvious one, Lockstin putting it there in the video made me sad, I love Torkoal... but yeah it could be better.

I love most of these Mon

I thought evolutions were a big deal here because Rowan was studying Pokémon Evolution in particular, and Sinnoh was more about evolution than any Gen.

I really like the baby Pokemon. It’s so hard to think that Pokemon like Snorlax, Mr. Mine, and Mantine can simply hatch out of an egg. They already look full-grown. That’s why I think these baby Pokemon exist.

@RiannaPeterson

Жыл бұрын

I've thought that sometimes too, but then mons like Kanghaskan don't get baby versions, and some (like Marill) would've looked fine coming out of an egg... I don't get it at all....

I've often wondered what if they made baby pokemon it's own category apart from the 3 evolution line thing. Maybe you can't fight with them anymore, cause they are baby pokemon, but you can do other stuff with them. Certain pokemon would not have an egg stage and would just pop up as a baby and you would have to walk with it. probably a bit late in pokemon history, but would allow for new evolutions post baby and add baby pokemon to 3 evolution lines.

@MrSkeltal268

2 жыл бұрын

I like your approach better than the weird one we got. Some Pokémon have baby forms, but they count as the first stage (?) and they have weird rules surrounding how to even get them in breeding… it’s just odd.

Great JOb I love the dedication! An Enamorus history video would be cool too!

8:05 yep he jinxed it in a good way Archaludon is here :D 8:11 and Tauros got 3 regional forms :D

"They really haven't done cross-gen evolution since" Wyrdeer, Kleavor and Ursaluna want to have a talk to you.

I hope gamefreak continues with adding new evolutions to old Pokémon like with legends arceus. There’s so many Pokémon that could use one like dunsparce, spinda, etc. tbh tho so many Pokémon need buffs to be able to compete with newer mons like majority of gen 2 mons are too weak to be viable.

I feel like Chimecho needed an evolution as well as a pre evolution. It’s not good stat wise and is a little strong for a first stage so Chingling makes sense, but Roselia got both and is around the same BST as Chimecho, 425 for Chimecho and 400 for Roselia. A lot of gen 3 Pokémon just have bad stats and need new evolutions to bump them up

@robertlupa8273

2 жыл бұрын

What would Chimecho evolve into? A multi-part windchime? You know what, I just realised something. Chimecho is based on a evil spirit-repelling windchime, right? Then why is it weak to spirits (Ghost) and evil (Dark)? A new evolution could fix one of these, like a Psychic/Fairy type or a unique ability.

Love the sponsor wizard fairy telling us about that skillshare, thank you Sponor Wizard Fairy ur doing such a good job (also was that poor Rayquaza being used as a wand)

I feel the baby forms are also useful in keeping a bit of a better early game balance. They allow these Pokémon to “grow”. Though I have to admit this aspect is rather underused.

I would really be interested in a comparison/thoughts video of the modern characters vs legends ancestors by you. 😸

You statement of Dusknoir being better than Duskclops, I would disagree.

I want to point out that Regular stantler evolves into Wyrdeer, no regional variant involved. Also Regular Ursurang evolves into Ursaluna with no regional variant involved too

All I know is that Prof. Rowan specialized in Pokemon evolution that's why so many lower gen pokemon have evo..like Prof. Elm specialized in Pokemon egg and baby form that's why egg hatching starts in gen 2.

This video idea is probably something in the works or has been thought of but I think a video about the inspections behind the new Hisuian forms and evolutions would be cool

You forgot Togekiss. Probably follows similar reasoning to Dusknoir though. Togekiss is far stronger then Togetic. Togetic's my favorite though.

I was going to include Obstagoon, Perserker, Cursola, Sirfetch'd, Mr. Rime, Runerigus, Sneasler & Overqwil but you clearly said that you don't count regional forms and these technically would have been lumped into those. And then Basculegion is a whole other barrel of eels due to it evolving from an alternate from as opposed to being completely regional.

I think it would be a cool video idea to go over how Neo Team Plasma and Team Galactic are connected.
