Next Pokemon Thread VI: Unova Evolution/Capture/Release Speculation Arena

[Demon Kitsune Yoko Kurama]

Me as well. Hidden Power seems as if it could be replaced by Acrobatics.

[bryanjuan]

after the pokemon league, and Emolga Excadrill iris leaves in the village of dragons, and iris capture vai lucario and charizard lol

Acrobatics would be really cool...



Elesa's Emolga: "Almost like Double Team, but better!"

... but I won't disdain Air Slash as an offensive Flying-type move, if that happens.



Jessie's Woobat: "Fear my Blades of Doom!"

As long as Emolga eventual next move is a Flying attack, I'm fine.

Hey wait up, in the previous episode (the Unova League begins), why is some people are saying "What new Pokémon Juniper gaves to Ash" ?
She really gives him a new Pokémon ? Explain please

Eeeh, it's not a joke ? People are making speculations just because Ash transfers is Pokémon ?

I think that Ash simply withdrew one of his Pokemon. No new captures or whatnot.

[Ciccone]

Didn't one of the new magazine scans confirm that Ash brings back his Palpitoad? Is that the same Pokemon that was stated to have been transferred over, or is he transferring multiple Pokemon throughout the tournament?

Palpitoad is coming back for the Kotetsu battle (or so the scan says), and yes it's pretty obvious Ash will be transferring his Pokemon back and forth as he is also using Leavanny against Stephan and Unfezant against Kotetsu too.

we know he uses Palpitoad further down the line but it was not stated if Palpitoad was the one that was transfered

I find it wierd so much focus is being placed on that. its not like its anything that matters in the slightest

Palpitoad is also used vs Stephan

That scans not to be trusted. We only know Pignite & Pikachu are used vs Kotetsu

I don't think Snivy is that marketable to begin with. And contrary to popular belief, I think the writers see no reason to evolve her because she's already a competent battler, not because Trip has Serperior and they're afraid to give Ash a Serperior of his own or whatever.

Kira, you cannot pick and choose which Pokémon to apply these "why they aren't evolving" arguments of yours.

Because those arguments can be applied to ANY of Ash's Pokémon. So if you're going to apply it to one, you have to apply it to another and another.
---

Honestly how about Snivy didn't evolve because the writers didn't care to evolve it. That's probably the best argument for a Pokémon to not evolve.

Why?

Because you can't apply that argument to Pokémon that do evolve because it can be countered with, they cared to evolve said Pokémon.

So it's probably the best argument. Use that instead of marketing or "too strong" to evolve.

[ShinyCharyZard]

Fair enough, but usually bigger the size on the calender means the bigger the importance.

Pikachu being the smallest thing on that calendar blatantly writes off every word of what you just said, since if what you say is true, he should be massive. Also Gigalith is the biggest Pokemon on that calendar simply because its the biggest Pokemon out of the ones they chose for that calendar.

You're right. For some reason I thought Lucario was taller than Sawk making me think that they all had random sizes. But I still think Gigalith could be Ash's, or at least I hope it is since Boldore doesn't do anything for me.

[IcySealeo]

Eeeh, it's not a joke ? People are making speculations just because Ash transfers is Pokémon ?

Some people think that it is Boldore and since he transfered it from Juniper it considered as a trade thus it will evolve. But I don't think so, since Ash has transfered Boldore a couple of times and it didn't evolve.

Agreed :P
How could it only happen to evolve now? Makes no sense what so ever >_<
I'm fairly sure nothing will evolve until after the league but people are free to speculate >_>

[_Taidow_]

I'm still hoping Oshawott evolves during the league. Whether it's in the third league ep or vs Virgil or Kotetsu whatever.

[IcySealeo]

I really don't think Oshawott will evolve sometime. This thing is the most marketable thing on this show right now. Maybe in the next region, but then again, if Ash will bring it again sometimes then the writers will use it again for selling, just like with Piplup.

[Joltik-Kid]

Well I hope you mean just Ash... cause there's that whole Riolu speculation thing :P

[★ Mr. Mime ★]

Speculating Boldore evolving from getting transferred from Juniper is just flat out ridiculous and an extreme stretch. I would probably stop watching the show if the writers pulled something like that.

Palpitoad evolving on the other hand makes much more sense and I still have my fingers crossed that it will be happening soon. Hopefully it will happen in the Kotetsu or Stephan battle.

We're not speculating that Boldore evolves by merely putting it into his party by rotation. There will most likely be some kind of catalyst event of some kind.

Since Juniper has the technology she can most likely create a false "trade" signal as if Boldore was traded (but not), and evolves as a result. A gift from good old Juniper.

Or the transfer machine has a serious glitch causing the transfer machine to act as if Ash did trade his Pokémon through rotation.

After all the transfer and trading machines, likely have the same basic technology, and some the same basic programming. I could easily see some technological glitch of some kind producing the same effect as what occurs through evolution.

If it would make you feel better, it could just simply be an effect that forces evolution, which is entirely plausible. Like the Team Rocket device in Johto.

But yes, I can see a problem with just putting his Boldore into his party by rotation, not have ANY sort of catalyst event, and then it merely evolves. Because odds are it would've evolved already, if that was the case.
