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

[AceDetective]

first generation wasn't so accurate with types. Gyarados is actually part flying type believe it or not.

its because they wanted dragons to be special back then. they were rare and unique considering there was only 1 evolutionary line

Yeah, Charizard is very dragon-esque and I couldn't see a problem with her getting one, (apart from the Ash conflict.)

It's also a hell of a lot more dragon-like than Emolga/Excadrill

[HatersGonnaHate]

But you wouldn't want her with one would you? its not a dragon type like Vaniluxe.

I already stated by opinion on it, go read my posts two pages back.

Hopefully Eevee and Lucario do get caugth(by Satoshi), it would be two more evolved pokemon since Eevee will most likelly evolve.

Why should Ash get both? he hardly uses most of the pokemon he has right now.

I don't see Iris getting Charizard. I'm pretty sure the writers don't Ash to share it with anyone on the main cast. Dragonite will serve the purpose as Iris's fully evolved dragon type. However, Iris could still catch a second stage dragon type, that would add a middle ground between Dragonite and Axew.

Who knows the poster might be up to the beginning of 2013. So it may only include stuff from now to the end of december.

Was just going to mess with your usual hypocrisy when I read the first post, I didn't read the other one, so yeah sorry about that.

Why wouldn't he?

How is he not using them? recently they have all been used.

Oh no, I wasn't disputing that - I couldn't/wouldn't see her getting ever, personally Shelgon/Lapras would be the ideal choices for me but I think she should get some work with her existing Pokémon, Cilan is the one who deserves a capture at the moment.

shelgon could be cool but I don't see lapras as likely due to difficulties battling on land

[Pepsi_Plunge]

I would actually like if Iris would get a dragon from each gen or atleast if she gets a new one it would be from a diferent generation.

Bagon would be cool imo, I would like Flygon but Flygon would only happen if Dragonite didn't imo, Trapinch and Vibrava are boring an uninteresting and I don't see them having them on the team if not to evolve them, kinda of the same with Bagon staying Bagon.

Even better, give her Swablu that one can evolve.

Both Bagon/Trapinch would be cool additions and don't need to evolve to be interesting.

trapinch would need to evolve. be a bit pointless to give iris a pokemon that evolves into part dragon and then not evolve it

[DMerle]

It wouldn't have to evolve immediately, I'd rather it got a lot of screentime between each evolution and it didn't get rushed.

Trapinch a cool additions? Such a boring pokemon!

[DMerle]

Only because it's never got any decent exposure, it could potentially be a good Pokémon.

[Cresselia92]

Trapinch sounds a bit redundant if it doesn't evolve. Swablu or Bagon could be great additions.

It could cause havock with Sandstorm/Dig, I don't know why everyone's so opposed against it. It would certainly be a lot more interesting than Scraggy who's purpose in the show is to run into things.

I'm not opposed against it. To the contrary, I'd like to see a Trapinch in the main cast. I can imagine it being more or less like Turtwig or Gible, where it constantly bites Iris's hair. XD

I only pointed out that if it doesn't evolve it'll provide a simple Ground type to Iris and she already has Excadrill. But if it evolves it could be a cool Pokémon.

Trapinch actually has a potentially good moveset, I'd want it to evolve just not have it rushed.

SuperPower
Giga Drain
Sand Tomb
Signal Beam

[Cresselia92]

What about this (bold ones are my preferences)?

Sand Tomb
Crunch/Bug Bite
Signal Beam/SolarBeam/Rock Slide
Quick Attack/Earth Power (doubt about that, but Nidoking used this move once, so...)

[Almighty Zard]

i'm going to hold firm that Ash only needs one more capture if he does indeed do so.

my choices would be Meloetta, Riolu, Eevee, or a third gen pokemon.

[Meraruba]

Okay. So with the new merch, I'M PUMPED!!!
All these hints are overwhelming. The eevees and riolus and lucarios*faints*
What if Iris maybe catches Charmander? BELIEVE me, I really don't like charmander line. But it might actually look good. I'll list what pokemon may look good with each character
Ash
-Riolu
-Eevee
-Rufflett
-Hydreigon(It's like everywhereo.0)
-Torchic

Iris
-Riolu
-Eevee
-Swablu
-Trapinch
-Deino
-Charmander
-Treecko
-Lapras

Cilan
-Eevee
-Rufflett
-Roserade
-Combee
-Hoppip
-Mudkip
-Torchic

Also, Honestly, Riolu and Eevee can really make for some good promotion. They are some of the most popular and most promotable pokemon. And all this talk of the "Popular Roserade" could mean for a parallel for Iris' Dragonite. and then the parallels could also extend to all three characters with a basic stage capture. Ash-Riolu Iris-Eevee Cilan-Combee/Rufflett.

And when it comes to ash's pokemon, Oshawott needs to evolve. Samurott could become such a powerhouse for Ash. Plus it would only make sense since Trip has a Serperior and Bianca has Emboar, mimicking the games. I could see the writers faking us out, Having Oshawott stay in it's basic stage for a long time, then ambushing us with evolution Oshawott->Dewott in a random training battle ala Mudkip->Marshtomp. Then it could evolve during the league in the first round/development episode/New attack.

The whole Snivy thing is very confusing. I could see them pulling a Johto and keeping them the way they are, But I'm PRAYING they don't. I personally love Serperior and really want it to evolve, but I don't like the idea of having two Serperiors(I hated when grotle evolved). No matter what happens, I feel like a great development episode would be Snivy learning Aqua Tail. Aqua Tail is like meant to be tho. Along with Unfezant with Heat Wave:3. I could see a servine with ash, but for some reason I think they gave Snivy a powerful moveset to show shes strong already.

Also, Despite my adoration for Axew(it's my #1 favorite pokemon) I wouldn't mind it evolving into Haxorus. There does seem to be a lot of Haxorus promotion, plus the whole shiny Haxorus in the games(But that really isn't very improtant since its shiny). But I would love to see an episode of Axew evolving and it suffering from withdrawal when it realizes it's too big for Iris' hair. Then it eventually realizes it doesn't need to hide in Iris' hair for protection. Then it would evolve again about 10-15 episodes later, similar to Mamoswine. It would just be awesome to watch this complete transformation from baby-incompetent battler-complete powerhouse. Plus I have this sudden infatuation with Haxorus:P

With the promotion of Hydreigon, I could actually see Ash catching it. I really don't think it suits it but it would tie in with Iris' Dragonite, and Cilan's potential Roserade. It could always be bickering with it's heads and eventually each head would learn to work together under the process of learning Tri-Attack.

Also with the whole starter thing, and the remake crap, maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea for the starters to be captured again? Ash Doesn't really need one, but I GUESS(i'd rather not) he could have a torchic:| And then Treecko and Mudkip would work perfect for Iris and Cilan. Treecko would hatch form an egg and obviously have a dragon egg move:P and evolve into Grovyle. Then Cilan could catch a mudkip and evolve it fully. It could have a nice relationship with stunfisk

I would actually love to see a big span of evos surrounding Ash's previous pokemon. Most could end in evolution(in my dreams:P) like Buizel(My biggest hope. Floatzel is so awesome) and Gible(I really want this to happen, plus it's not as urealstic) and possibly a trade with Iris(lol jk).

I could go on and on, but My fingers hurt from typing already:P PLEASE RESPOND Hope you liked my essay trolololol
