Pokémon Evolution/Capture/Release Thread

[Andre27]

I'm sure there's an abused Numel storyline written just in case.

In general I think it's odd for Ash to have Pokemon that don't evolve as part of his main line up, because it doesn't leave much to work with in terms of development, it's bad enough with Pikachu being horribly stagnant (and when changes do happen, they are for the worse like replacing Volt Tackle) - I'd hate to see that expanded further across his team. If a better job was done with movesets it might not be that much of an issue.

Torkoal's personality more than makes up for it though.

The abused pokemon story has been used a lot that is for sure. Having said that a numel would have been fun. Torkoal however is awesome both in the anime and ingame.

Sure Torkoal doesn't have the stats to compete in the higher tiers (unless it has gotten a lot of new goodies in BW2) but it is just awesome. Give torkoal an ability to dodge more often and it could be a massive powerhouse.

I want Ash to evolve Gible.

I want Ash to evolve Gible.

Probably in the Unova league.

I don't think he'd be able to evolve Gible fully into Garchomp in that short amount of time. But if he could, and he brought his best pokemon, that'd be amazing.

Garchomp is unlikely, but Gabite is a real option. Then again perhaps Ash will bring his old team to the competition where he'll be training.

If he brings some of his old pokemon, then I he'd become a top candidate for champion of Unova.

If he fails and goes to Gen. VI, I can be sure he'd evolve Gabite to Garchomp (IF he can evolve Gible first soon :P)
A lot of "ifs," eh?

Evolving once is more than enough for a random Pokémon like Fukamaru.
Plus, in my opinion, Gabite looks better than Gaburias.

I'd rather see his cute and forgotten Bayleaf evolving.
Or at least Magmarashi, Heigani or one of his Unova Pokémon.

I would like to see quilava and corphish get some loving, but i won't shed a single tear if bayleaf doesn't get any airtime whatsoever. Let some meteor drop from the sky right on top on the green (insert lots and lots of harsh language here) pokemon.

Talking about Best Wishes rivals. Here are some non-5th Gen Pokemon that fit for them (IMO), due to old Pokemon's returning in BW (games and anime)

- Metagross/Absol/Luxray/Camerupt : They fit to Trip. I will be nuts if Trip owns Metagross surprisingly :)
- Beautifly/Froslass/Milotic : Fit to Burgundy. I think she fits with elegant Pokemon
- Glalie/Abomasnow/Salamence : fit to Georgia. She needs dragon Pokemon for overcoming her hatred with Dragon-Type Pokemon
- Purugly/Machamp/Belossom : fit to Bianca. We all know she likes cute and muscular Pokemon
- Hitmonchan/Tyranitar/Tentacruel : I think this is crazy but they fit to Stephan (I don't have any idea to speculate Stephan's Pokemon)

[Reila]

I think both Metagross and Rentorar fits Kenyan better.
To Bel, anything muscular will work well, like Kairiky. Langley may catch some Steel or Ice Pokémon, hopefully a Gigigiaru, Hassam or Dohtakun.

[jman21]

Well it looks like iris catches that rampaging dragonite. New episode shows her having it. Why does Iris get a kick-ass awesome pokemon? When ash couldn't even get his Gible to evolve.

[Reila]

Lol, she really catches the Kairyu? I am so glad for her.
I don't like the Pokémon version of Barney that much, but is nice to see her with another badass Pokémon...

Why does Iris get a kick-ass awesome pokemon?

Because she is awesome, cute, funny and etc.

[FroztyJake]

Iris should get more dragon types. Ash don't need more pokemon on his team he needs to make the ones he have stronger.

[Hurricane Kishore]

So Iris got a Dragonite huh !
Okay , Its Fine !
But Since Iris got a Dragonite , Ash better get a Garchomp already !
And He better not lose the Junior cup to ether Iris or Trip!!!
Ash already got a Gible !
So , Next time I see him , he better be a Gabite and in the next episode it should become a Garchomp!
NO , ISN'T A ANSWER !
This aren't a excuse- ''Garchomp too powerful for Ash'', ''Garchomp is too good for Ash'' , ''Is not appropriate time for Ash to have a Garchomp''
Iris got herself a Dragonite So Ash better himself a fully evolve psudo Legendary super Dragon Pokemon!

At this point, I can't see any evolutions for Tsutarja, Mijumaru and Kibago.
