Fruity Insanity Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 (edited) I mean, I don't dislike Dragonite... in fact, I like Dragonite. It's one of my favorite pseudo-legendaries. But you have to admit, I don't think it's... fitting for Dragonair to evolve into Dragonite. I mean, c'mon, Dragonair isn't a freakin' bug. It doesn't have to go from long and worm-like to... butterfly. Something like this, this, or this would've been so much better. I don't think those three, individually, make a good evolution, but maybe a combination or something. I demand Game Freak to give us an alternative evolution that looks good and fits. (But then again, the first three pseudos are like that... Dragonair -> Dragonite, Pupitar -> Tyranitar, and Shelgon -> Salamence... BUT STILL! ;~;) On that matter, what other alternative evolutions do you guys want? Or what other changes would you like Game Freak to make?

Silver Lightning Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Those actually look pretty cool and would get my vote. But Dragonite by itself isn't so bad either. On the topic of weird evolution choices, ever since Gen 3 I have been super irrationally bugged over the fact that Bagon evolves into Shelgon which evolves into....Salamence??? I remember when I was first discovering these pokemon in my pokedex, I was super confused as to why Shelgon didn't evolve into Flygon. Random naming screwup is random. Still annoys me to this day....

Shahrivar Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 (edited) I do agree - actually I didn't use Dratini because Dragonite looks so dumb (no offense), although Dragonair is awesome. I like the idea of a winged serpent, the examples 1 and 3 look great. Another one: I don't like Haunter -> Gengar. I do like both Pokemon but the evolution just doesn't make sense to me. @ Silver Lightning: Get thee hence, Satan! Because of your signature I begin to doubt my decision to preorder Y.

Silver Lightning Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 @ Silver Lightning: Get thee hence, Satan! Because of your signature I begin to doubt my decision to preorder Y. Why??? I think they both look cool in the picture, even if admittedly I'm only getting X. Gotta be inclusive on my countdowns, y'know? XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icon of Sin Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Another one: I don't like Haunter -> Gengar. I do like both Pokemon but the evolution just doesn't make sense to me. I'd say Gengar might've been Ghost/Dark due to its more shadow than gassy nature if he would've been a Gen 2 or higher mon. Those actually look pretty cool and would get my vote. But Dragonite by itself isn't so bad either. On the topic of weird evolution choices, ever since Gen 3 I have been super irrationally bugged over the fact that Bagon evolves into Shelgon which evolves into....Salamence??? I remember when I was first discovering these pokemon in my pokedex, I was super confused as to why Shelgon didn't evolve into Flygon. Random naming screwup is random. Still annoys me to this day.... Shelgon is pretty similar to Pupitar in that they both feel like cocoons towards the transformation in the final form. Salamence got wings, Tyranitar just got angry. I'm not too picky on Dragonair/nite, other than I think the both Dratini and Dragonair could've been Water/Dragon instead of just mono Dragon. Among the weirdest evolutions might be Remoraid but even this thing has a bit of logic since they're based on firearms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Glenn Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Well, it wouldn't be the first time that alternate evolutions were brought in (outside of Eevee, that is) for Pokemon that already existed in a supposed final stage of evolution. (So, Golbat -> Crobat doesn't count, and neither does Clamperl. Heck, I'll throw out the Hitmons too.) Otherwise, Slowking, Bellossom, Politoed, Gallade, and Froslass wouldn't exist. The precident is there, so it's technically feasible. Realistically? Probably not - you'd probably be more likely to see a Mega Dragonite that changed up how it looked than an entirely different means of evolution from Dragonair.

Mega-evolution would probably be perfect for this kind of thing, actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riariadne Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 No way. Dragonite is awesome. Anything else would be less cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkbubblegum Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I can see where you're coming from xDWhen I got my Dragonair to evolve into Dragonite in Pokemon Yellow, I was a bit disappointed at how it took a completely different path from its previous form's elegance. It's kind of unlikely that they'd change the evolution pattern but I do wish that Dragonite had a separate form for its female version. One that actually looked like it came from a Dragonair.

-Cynthia- Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I think a great wyrm (no wings) evolution of Dragonair would be pretty awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest meibum Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I hope so. I don't really like Dragonite (especially it's shiny) and I think they can make an awesome dragonair-esque evolution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vestige Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I despise Dragonite. It's looks so goofy that it's ridiculous, which is a shame because Dragonair looks magnificent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentASM Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I think it couldn't hurt and I quite like the idea myself. Maybe Mega Dragonite could look more like Dragonair? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponesjones Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Those designs look awesome, and I'm certainly in favour of a split evolution. While you're at it you could fix Lickilicky... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
