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

HAH
I don't believe in this crappy *** water curse that doesn't really exist.
Marketability plays a huge factor in the anime which is why Oshawott has less of a chance than most.
It's not all equal chance but we can't stick numbers to it.
Oshawott's basically like Pikachu; so marketable they wont evolve it. Actually Piplup'd be a better example.
Ash's 3 water starters have all been quite marketable so they've stayed in base form.

Um pretty sure there is a water curse. All of his water Pokemon haven't evolved excluding Kingler. Oshawott can still evolve unless he decides to not evolve like Pikachu, Bulbasaur and Piplup. The Johto Pokemon weren't that marketable that's why I believe the Kanto trio stayed as long as they did on Ash's team.

It seems like only now that Chikarita seems a bit popular...

[vodor]

The big mistake was to give Ash Leavanny and Palpitoad instate of Reuniclus !
Because Reuniclus is cute so it would have been more marketable even after its complete evolution.

[_Taidow_]

So it doesn't seem like the opening or the ending for Episode N spoiled any evolutions so for now everything remains the same.

For now or until the end , they seem to have struggled getting content in the actual opening, it was like CHEREN is going to appear, then TP TP TP TP TP TP TP TP TP TP, seems like we won't get crap till the arc is over, not old coming back besides Charizard no new evolutions.

It did !
Now We know that Oshawott , Axew , Boldore aren't evolving .

[dman_dustin]

So.....no evolutions or captures.

But apparently Charizard is rotated on Ash's team.

Bye Unfezant.

Bye Unfezant.

Unfezant is appeared today and will appear next week I think we can expect her to keep beating TR and pop their ballons.

I am amazed though that they didnt include Scraggy in the ending scene, I guess that just one of the kids days or something, so Satoshi can only have 6 pokemon in hand and Krokoodile is probably pretty popular now.

What I mean is Unfezant is for the here and now.

Once Charizard app-

Bye Unfezant.

His main team will likely be

Pikachu
Unfezant
Oshawott
Pignite
Snivy
Krookodile

and then replace Pignite with Charizard when he returns.

[shelldude400]

It didn't spoil what is going to evolve; but it surely set back a couple of evolutions.
Boldore;Oshawott;Axew from the opening, Pignite and Snivy from the ending :/
But Scraggy never appeared
Nor did Palpitoad
Nor did Leavanny and Unfezant.... :P
Both the opening and ending will probably stay for a while (The ending may change closer to the end?)
But for now Scraggy and Palpitaod to evolve for my predictions.

I honestly wouldn't count Boldore, because its scenes seemed to solely be only for that upcoming Colress episode.

[Pepsi_Plunge]

It will stay till the end, the arc is about TP and N.

What I mean is Unfezant is for the here and now.

Once Charizard app-

Bye Unfezant.

When they want to show her in an episode they will rotate her with something not like she has to take Charizard spot.

His main team will likely be

Pikachu
Unfezant
Oshawott
Pignite
Snivy
Krookodile

and then replace Pignite with Charizard when he returns.

No Pignite is in the ending, the rotation will keep going with Charizard and Pikachu being permanent, the starters will still be the pokemon that appear more and the reserves will appear occasionally.

Good luck with that I was pretty sure nothing was going to evolve with Charizard and Pikachu doing everything(and Oshawott also apparently) now I'm almost sure, even Scraggy that I expected to evolve late I'm not sure about him now, that thing was pretty popular but it seems like it isn't as much nowadays or Krokoodile is more popular.

Sure but I figure why be redundant?

Charizard is part flying and while part fire, Pignite has something to offer from the ground perspective, with Charizard the sky perspective.

Type redundancy hasn't stopped them before.

I don't find it redundant just like I don't find adding Palpitoad to the team was redundant or adding Krokorok was redundant, Unfezant isnt Charizard diferent pokemon diferent uses.

Type redundancy hasn't stopped them before.

Exactly who the hell cares about that, the pokemon battle diferently, Charizard uses power moves, Unfezant uses speed.

Type redundancy was apparently a problem with Leavanny, Palpitoad and Krokorok but wouldn't be with a Rioulo because "Rioulo is diferent" .

[dman_dustin]

Type redundancy hasn't stopped them before.

I still fail to see why Charizard, Unfezant, Pignite need to be all on the same team AT THE EXACT TIME. Sure, maybe it would be cool to see all three battling against some evil team organization.

However I would prefer some variety.... like..... I don't know......Palpitoad.

I don't see where people even mentioned that those three specifically had to be on the team at the same exact time. I said that Charizard replaces Pignite as the recurring fire type. Pignite only has to offer Brick Break, which Scraggy can offer Hi Jump Kick and Focus Blast. While Charizard doesn't have any flying moves while Unfezant does.

[dman_dustin]

Which is my point, we can all believe Charizard is pretty much permanent for however long it stays, and I can't see it being Junipered, it can clearly be the sixth Pokémon of: Pikachu, Snivy, Oshawott, Pignite, and Scraggy, only if Unfezant is not there.

And unless Scraggy gets replaced for Unfezant and vice versa, I can't see any of the starters being rotated out for Unfezant.

The redundancy part is just giving the writers an excuse not to having Unfezant on the team.

I said that Charizard replaces Pignite as the recurring fire type. Pignite only has to offer Brick Break, which Scraggy can offer Hi Jump Kick and Focus Blast. While Charizard doesn't have any flying moves while Unfezant does.

There are ground strategies that Pignite would only be able to pull off in comparison to Charizard, which really doesn't focus on it's land capabilities. Charizard moves better in the sky, like Pignite moves better on land (though Pignite can't fly period).

The only thing Unfezant has over Charizard is Unfezant is much more maneuverable than Charizard. Charizard is bulky and big and would probably be the equivalent to the biggest and fastest (in a straight line aircraft. While Unfezant is probably more like a jet plane, or a flying aircraft capable of many acrobatic skills. I can see Unfezant easily rolling in the air, come out of it just as easily and smash into it's opponent quickly. Charizard should have a problem doing that.

But even so, Charizard and Pignite, make a perfect combination for what would be needed as opposed to Unfezant and Charizard or Unfezant and Pignite.

But I'll agree, I guess it would depend on the circumstances.

which hopefully may indicate scraggy may start to gain more type diversity so they are more distinguished from each other.
Leer being replaced by dark pulse/payback/snarl/foul play and headbutt being replaced by zen headbutt or head smash
