The whole "cancelling evolution to evolve it into something better later on down the line" IS GENIUS!
now if only I can get it to work lolol. Looking at Bivalry split line to make it happen
3:16 fun fact: in the relatively...okishly known Pokémon-like monster tamer "Temtem", there's a Tem in the game called Anahir that evolves when maximizing the TVs (which are basically that game's version of EVs), it's fun to see a similar idea here as well as it seeming more...achievable.
It would be annoying if you didn’t know
@@torterratortellini6641And if you do know, you'd still need to go through the tedium of cancelling the evolution repeatedly.
the rival species method was definitely my favorite, the fact that rival species exist in my opinion already gives a bit of extra depth to the world of pokémon and makes it all the more immersive and interesting so this method would give this concept gameplay relevance making it even more satisfying and rewarding, it could even lead to super cool interactions if one trainer has a zangoose and the other has a seviper they could battle and take the battle as a bet, the winner obviously taking the satisfaction of seeing their pokemon evolve.
glad you like it! The rival method was the one that sparked this whole evolution video idea in the first place :)
I actually have an idea for a Pokemon that evolves by minimum friendship.
The concept for it is based on virtual pets, cherubs and those plastic baby dolls
young girls often play with. Here's the kicker, it's a split evolution. If you evolve
it with high friendship, it becomes more cherub and angel like. However if you evolve with
low friendship, let's just say the results won't be pretty.
If you check out my 2022 Fakedex vid, you can see a neutral doll, cherub doll, and devil doll that does just what you describe 😁
I guess great minds think alike.
I have a gimmicky "region" concept I've been thinking of, called The Labyrinth, which would be entirely interiors. Caves, hallways, sewers, etc. Due to that, there would be no day and night for time based evos. So, how would time based evos work?
Well, with the sunstone and moonstone, of course! However, a Pokemon that only evolves during the day, or only during the night, would get both evos.
Some would gain 2 forms with unique inspirations connected to their original inspirations, while others would just be simple type changes.
Gumshoos is based off of.. well.. a detective. Specifically, a police detective. Sunstone Gumshoos would take more inspiration from a standard friendly police officer, while Moonstone Gumshoos would become a Mobster, with the signature move 'Cement Shoos', which would half the target's speed, and make it so water moves do double the damage, for maybe 3 turns. Moonstone Gumshoos would be dark type, of course.
Sunstone Espeon would be Psychic/Electric, and would have a small arc of electricity connecting the two tail tips, allowing it to function as a taser or stun gun.
Moonstone Umbreon would be Dark/Poison, and would gain fangs. Aside from that, it's just some mild changes, like adding yellow markings to Espeon and green ones to Umbreon.
Status idea is PERFECT!!!! for a split evolution in my region
The examples that you designed for the specific Pokémon are superb, but I enjoyed a lot the unconventional methods as well!
Not going to lie, except for low friendship and homecomeing, the first batch sound like they would be awful to actually play with...and low friendship is thematically discordant with what Pokémon is about, except maybe as an alternate path to an evolution you can get another way (how come there's only one way to get every evolution, huh?).
The second and third batches are much better in my opinion, though some of batch 2 would certainly be brutal to try for.
I like tradeback evolution though, for how it takes the possible feelings of the pokémon into account. It's similar to an idea I had, where Eevee would evolve into "Enveon, the Heartbreak Pokémon" if traded at max friendship.
I think the Console Function evolutions seem a bit niche, but apparently Gamefreak doesn't agree, since we had Malamar's "turn the console upside down" method.
Honestly, gimmick evolutions are probably fine, because they lead to more interesting gameplay, and I think that cancelling evolution to get a different one in particular is great. Having said that, though? I don't like Hall of Fame evolution for similar reason to why I don't like Level 100 evolution. Specifically...what's left? In the case of Lv. 100, there's no new moves to learn, nor stats to gain, so it feels like a hollow victory. In the case of entering the Hall of Fame...well, your journey is effectively over. Sure there's the post game, but that's not for everyone, and more importantly often more for finishing the dex. So you're not getting to use the pokémon except in a tiny sliver of the game, if at all.
Yoooo it's so nice seeing you release a new video!
7:25 I’m pretty sure these are all volatile statuses. Regardless, this is a really good video
oops. I guess what I meant was statuses that wear off when you switch out, unlike PAR PSN SLP FRZ BRN
You could make a "release" method other way. You would actually have to release the Pokémon, and then it would become a roaming one that you have to find again, but now evolved. I guess encounter chance similar to roaming legendaries would be adequate.
I liked your ranking for the top 5
Dude, how on earth does this video have so little views, it's so professional! I loved the concepts, but I think it would be pretty funny (and cruel) if the level 100 evo method just became a trash pokémon with worse stats than the previous form.
Bro I can imagine a kind of creature that is extremely adaptable. Like if it had a status condition it would change its type and appearance to adapt to that status.
"Evolve by giving a nickname"
This kinda sorta happens to Eevee in Pokémon GO, as you can force it to evolve into a specific Eeveelution by giving it a specific nickname.
16:14
Some of these sound like way too much effort to evolve one pokemon. However, now I'm imagining a game where your starters are the pre-evolutions for the box legendaries. And they only reach their final stages at the end of the game. The last three evo methods would be perfect for that.
The design quality is top notch like usual
thanks :)
05:53 I did thisss to Gordon in Sssword with my Gardevoir after my Leafeon (who’d been enjoying their sssweep) went down to G-Max Coalosssssal after almossst getting the KO. Two draining kisssssesss later, we were ssstaring down Coalosssssal asss he crashed to the ground, (at leassst how I sssaw it) flipping him off and regaining HP.
day of the week evolution is fun but I see a lot of problems with forcing a player to keep playing long so i think it requires a faster in game clock.
That being said
FLAT FUCK FRIDAY ALLIGATOR
cool video!!
Using healing items as a evolution method is really a good idea.
Some of my friends joke about the existence of a Pokémon evolving using a Burn Heal because in Gen 2 there's a bug about the Moon Ball, you can only catch Pokémon that evolve with a Burn Heal and not with a Moon Stone.
I have two ideas:
1. It's similar to your Low Happiness and 1 HP ideas: If one of your pokemon faint, have the next pokemon defeat the opponent (no capture) to avenge the fallen, and it will evolve.
2. I always wanted a pokemon that could evolve mid-battle (kinda like mega-evolution), so I wouldn't mind one pokemon with this gimmick. The interesting perk would be it would learn 3 new moves when it evolves.
So let's say you had a level 50 Eevee. You evolve it mid-battle, and now it will try to learn Discharge, Agility, and Thunder.
I love the idea of the Pokémon evolving as you go to release to try and win you back, but man is that ever heartbreaking to think about
An idea I always liked was the idea of pokemon evolving based on a variable specific to that pokemon.
By that I mean like, a pokemon will evolve differently depending on which ability, or nature, or even size it is.
For gen 9, this could work really well with Tera types, especially weird ones. Like Toxapex with electric tera types evolving into a new pokemon based on lightning rods and faraday cages (Or maybe even an MRI machine for Miriam).
These evolutions wouldn’t work in later gens after they drop Terastalization, but maybe in later gens they could just evolve via elemental item or something. (Or we could just not get rid of Terastalization since it’s my favourite gimmick 🥺👉👈??)
I like this idea! They’ll definitely drop terrastrialization, but maybe for the rumored DLC we can get a new mon or two through your suggested method
Toxtricity evolves depending on the nature already!
@@migo1559 So does Rockruff.
@@maniakb416 not really. Rockruff evolves depending on the time of the day and whether or not he has the Own Tempo ability
@@migo1559 Which is an ability based evolution even if it is just a form. Same as the Toxtricity example.
I saw someone make Pawniard evolve into different "chess pieces forms" depending on the nature, which i find clever
homecoming is a very cute idea, love it
Thank you! 😊
I think the release evolution would be better if it needed to have high friendship as well
mainly because it’d be annoying to catch a ton of them and attempt to release them all, just for each of them to evolve
Great video! I had some "unique" evolution method ideas as well.
1. What if a Pokémon evolves after being left in the daycare? I had this idea for a Bug type mantis Pokémon with gender variants: the female is large and powerful, while the male is much smaller and weaker. After putting the two in the daycare together, not only will you get an egg, but the male will also evolve into a Bug/Ghost type, inspired by how female mantises kill the males after they reproduce.
2. What if a Pokémon evolved in a certain altitude? Like, maybe a Pokémon evolves into a Flying type or an Ice type when levelled up in a really high mountain, or maybe it could evolve into a Ground or Rock type when levelled up in a really deep cave?
Both ideas are brilliant!
I actually did a video idea of how a Normal Eeveelution would work and came up with a unique method of using the move Struggle a certain number of times. Check it out if you're interested ^^.
But I love alot of the different Evolution idea presented here, keep up the good work 👍
That sounds like the most painful thing to do to evolve a Pokémon
The "day of the week" idea was my inspiration for an idea I had about evolving Cosmoem or Own Tempo Rockruff without requiring two game version or carefully watching the clock.
Basically, have a location tied to the solstices/equinoxes and allow these Pokemon to evolve in this location if they reach a high enough level when the calendar is set to a corresponding date, regardless of the time of day: Solgaleo on the summer solstice, Lunala on the winter solstice, and Dusk Form Lycanroc on either equinox.
I just wanted to comment to say thanks for the gym leader video! I made myself as a Gym leader twice and did the second attemp after watching your video
Lets just say, the second idea was better 😅
that's good to hear! Hope I was helpful
Great ideas. Thank you! Now I have new inspiration and motivation for some new Fakemon Sprite projects.
I like the "Homecoming" one very much.
I have an idea: game gimmick ideas. By gimmick I mean things like Mega Evolution, Z-Moves, and Dynamax/Gigantamax, something a new game would introduce to spice things up.
I invented some evolution methods for some fakemon that I am doing
like, steal 30 items from other pokemons
and this one is for a pokemon that evolves into three different evolutions
faint from a fire water or grass type move
Zygarde will definitely get more evolutions with the new game.
Ok. So No one is telling this...but you missed the obvious way to get new evo..SHINY POKEMON can evolve into completely different pokemon as SHINY pokemon usually referred to useless in terms of gameplay wise...it will be worth it to get new evolutions from SHINY pokemon
It would indeed be worth it. I wonder what Shiny Alolan Graveler evolves into...
Gimmighoul in future games could evolve using the fortune method.
I had an idea for an evolution: you release a pokemon at the place you caught it in, and then you wait a few minutes. From that point on, the first wild encounter in that place is going to be your pokemon, evolved. You'll have to catch it back, but its catch rate will be increased heavily.
Items I have wanted to see for evolution are the items that are made only to be sold, like nuggets or pearls or mushrooms. It items to trade for service like heart scales.
16:54 that's kinda what gimmighoul does already (yes I know gimmighoul coins aren't the actual game currency)
I still haven’t found enough gimmi coins to evolve mine yet 😟 those little dudes are so tiny
eyoo look who show up in the right time
If we got a Nordic region, then the day of the week thing could work. I imagine a pokémon based on Thor that evolves on Thursdays, or a 'Mon based off Frigg that evolves on Friday. Cause those days are named after them
Technically, a pokemon creepypasta did use the "skip evolution" method with EEeEE. Granted, it was in an edgier sense, but thats just how creepypasta are
Personally what i want to see is previous Evolution items getting reused for newer Pokemon. Say you have a Tully Monster Pokemon (look it up lol) thats obviously a Fossil Pokemon, only evolving once. Then maybe you could give it a Dragon Scale to evolve it into a 21 foot tall Kraken monster and replace the Rock type with Dragon, like how Kingdra gained it! Do what they did in PLA where both Sneasels use the same evolution item at different times of day for a different evolution. I look at all the evolution items they add and so many of them could be used for so many different Pokemon than the ones theyre restrained to and ultimately it makes these items useless once you get the Pokemon you wanted if theyre not used for other Pokemon. Evolution Stones have done wonderfully with this due to so many Pokemon requiring them to evolve, despite many recent Pokemon not needing them
i could do without more annoying trade evo items (aka Dragon Scale), but items that function like Razor Claw/fang like with Sneasler are certainly welcome. The Dawn stone also hasn't seen use since Gen 4 either, so I'd be cool with it coming back :D
@@Substitube My idea was just have the Pokemon hold the Scale and evolve. Its a lot easier if its just something it holds instead of trading it and personally it makes more sense to me since it likely would never find the Scale when it was alive, and if it did it would inspire Kraken stories. No trading required, just hold and evolve
Finally something new from you. It's always a pleasure to see you still do new stuff from time to time. :)
I like the idea of having Eevee faint like 4 or 13 times makes it evolve into a Ghost type
Or use the brick stone
Im picking ideas for a fangame with millions of eeveelutions and this is so useful
Keep us updated on your progress! That's definitely something I'd want to play :)
Me: This video seems perfect for my fear of any numbers higher than 30.

This is just what i needed for my Pokémon mmo project! Such creativity, if my project ever comes to fruition i'll credit you as much as possible! ✨♥️
Awesome! Does your project have a name?
some very cool ideas here, i'd love to see some of these added to the next pokemon games!
For real time aging I would like imagine that Pokémon evolve through aging in the wild but training speeds up the process
The voice you use to transition to each segment reminds me of Fierce Battle Theme from Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne
THE LEGEND IS BACK... HE IS BACKKKKKK!!
Absolute banger, the possibilities are endless!
a method that would be interesting and at the same time chaotic would be for a pokémon to only be able to do it if it is traded by Wonder trade
Oh boy Im late. I didn't know you were updating again!
a pokemon has to evolve using a burn heal. in fact, every new pokemon in legends johto has to evolve using a burn heal.
These are all really cool! I had a similar idea to the “performance booster” evo in my fan region where I have a baby cow mon made of chocolate and when given a nature mint it evolves into a mint chocolate Minotaur. It’s always so fun to see other people’s ideas for new ways to evolve pokemon!
I like the skip evolution method it could encourage players to be patient like yeah this guy evolves at an early level but if you wait just a few more extra levels without evolving it you’ll get something even better. Perhaps use it for something like an early game bug or normal type?
I’m totally stealing some of the unconventional methods of evolution, I love those ideas
Awesome ideas and awesome new forms! Glad you're back with the content ☺️
Honestly, I don't really get why there need to be so many evolution methods. If the evolution method equates "go visit a guide and do the mundane tasks listed there", it is quite shitty if you'd ask me.
There doesn’t need to be. This is just a list of options that the viewer can potentially add to their own game
Bro whips out a mon that can't be afflicted with any status as it's always considered asleep for the "level up with a status" evo. Bruh
Oops I forgot how comatose works. Just think of it as a placeholder for now. The evo method is more the point than the mon
I really love these ideas and the Evos and Pre Evos you made here are really nice!
thank you!
We kinda got fortune based evolution
HOW ABOUT USING AN ITEM WHILE HOLDING AN ITEM IT CAN EVEN BE PACIFIC ITEM(S). HOW ABOUT PAYING A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MONEY.
SURE 😂
Dunsparce it's a game freak joke
You might be a sub yourself, but you need more subs. Such a unique and high quality vid
aww thank you!
this make me think of when i was making my own fan game, i was trying to script the statues that were randomly placed throughout the maps that if you interacted with them while having certain Unown forms with you.
I like that idea! Back in GS days, that was totally the rumor going around where you had to check all those statues in the Alph ruins with a certain unown combo. Crystal simplified things, of course.
homecoming is an amazing idea
Quick question.
How do you do the Battle Revolution voice is in your videos?
UberDuck AI has the Pokemon narrator voice :)
These are great ideas for new evo mechanics!
1:28 - its funny you chose Komala for this method becuase it cannot get any status at alll .
I forgot how comatose works lololol. I guess Action Replay will have to do
Dudunsparce is the best
Awesome ideas !
It's really inventive ! Somehow it reminds me of Sliggoo who needs rain to evolve. I had to wait days to get rain, this was the last pokemon I needed for the full pokedex in violet. Oddly enough, now I'm doing a shiny only playthrough in scarlet, I want that pokemon in my team.
I didn't liked it that much but now it's growing to be one of my favorite pokemons.
So more weather evolutions could be fun. There could even be combinations, like using an ice stone while under the snow, to make a zero kelvin pokemon.
Anyway, great ideas. I don't have too much hope for that, but I wish that the people working on pokemon games could watch this video and get inspired by it. There's so many inventive ways to make new evolutions.
(also an idea for the worst evolution of all evolutions, the pokemon evolves only if it's shiny)
the idea of max Ev evolving Eevee
sounds great!
that could work so that, if you max out Evs with no 1 EV having over 150 points -Normal typed Eevee-lution
and then we have another 6 eeveelutions linked to having 150EVs dedicated to 1 stat in particular, based on the Average by type
HP - Dragon - Wyrveon
Atk - Fighting - Meleeon
Sp. Atk - Ghost - Wraveon
Def - Steel - Tungseon
S. Def - Poison - Butoleon
Speed - Flying - Galeon
This vid is definitely full of ideas great ideas, & I wanna run by my thoughts about what stood out for me:
2:23 date of the week is a very interesting way, but I cannot imagine how on an evolutionarily standpoint it makes them, time doesn’t exist in measuring time is only a theory, if a Pokémon evolves on a Monday, what part of Monday makes it evolve? Where to get extra bonus is on Monday as well? I imagine this would work with Pokémon like Porygon as well as other Tech based mons
3:53 I don’t like the idea of 4th stage mons, simply because of Eviolite, sure some Pokémon struggle but if Kingambit can use use it then why ever use Bisharp instead? The rivalry between 2 & 3 stage mons are a solid one, 4th stage evolutions only shift that battle to kick out 2nd stage mons
5:56 I love this simply because of abilities like tinted lense, ones that boost damage of NVE hits, that’s a very unique method
11:36 this also is very interesting, just like how I said Porygon like Pokémon would make the most sense with this, I could definitely see tech mons appreciate this unique devise attachment, or like you say later, Pokémon that evolve through wealth you use a luxury ball instead, I have another idea that I’ll save for the end with pokeballs 👀
13:14 when you said unconventional, you really meant it, this definitely wasn’t what I was expecting, time & eggs are also smart steps, false releases could be annoying or scary, but the false evolution is very cool!!
16:52 fortune gets a little spot with Hall of Fame cause when I looked at it, I remember the diamond and pearl ribbons that you could get for spending literally the max amount of money you can carry, so having a specific ribbon can be tedious, but also very sentimental and I love that
And now, at the end of the video, I was surprised that you didn’t mention one of the bugs from Gen 1, where if a Pokémon evolves from a stone and you switch in a different Pokémon into the same battle, after the battle the first Pokémon evolves, that happened because certain Pokémon had the same ID code with evolutionary items, and therefore switching them in was basically using an item on that Pokémon, and with all the rock and mineral Pokmon we have, having one Pokémon tag out into a second one is an evolutionarily method is also a very interesting mechanic, It’s literally just switching out but using specific Pokémon, oh and what I said about pokeballs earlier? Well they have to be made of something! Who’s to say that the composition of one dosent evolve a Pokémon when you capture them with it!
Anyway, this is definitely an amazing video and I’m very excited to see what else do you have!! best wishes 🥳🎉🎉
Edit: grammar mistakes, oh the humanity!!
thanks for going in depth with your review!
Also I had no idea about the Gen 1 glitch. I'll have to try it 😯
@@Substitube no problem! I love to talk, and I have plenty of ideas hehe
I’ll admit I’m tempted as well, Crystal Onyx?Get outta here!! Waterstone Onyx all the way!! XD
It would pretty interesting to have a Psychic type or something that evolves by "nicknaming" it the evolution's name. Like a prediction/future-sight Pokemon. I wish that was the case with Farigiraf because of the palindrome gimmick, and it's the first future-sight Pokemon we ever see in the anime I think? You could nickname it as soon as you catch it to evolve immediately, but of course it would be better to level-up then use the name-rater later.
Ultra Noice, i love the elite 4 one
'Promo sm'
I've had an idea for a while. The newest games have variable sizes so I think a cool branched evolution could be based on size. A very big one could evolve into something bulky and slow but a small one could evolve into a frail speedy Pokemon
I think alternative evolution methods for the same pokemon would be nice. Like, pidgey evolves at 18, or if it defeats a spearow. Would explain underleveled pidgeotto
I had an idea for a pokemon based on a star, which i put a lot of thought into the evolution method. It evolves when it uses a special explosion move in a battle. It has 2 possible evolutions after exploding which depend on how many KOs you got with it before it evolved. However before it learns that move it can evolve into a super weaker pokemon, and you need to not evolve it for a bit.
This was wonderful and each method was unique, inventive, and special! I especially loved the console method idea and the reunited/home location/skip evolution methods!
2:27 IS THAT LASHES THE CANEL FROM ALABASTA
You’re the first one to notice heheheheh
To the cancel evolution to work you can have two lvl up evos for the same mon, so delaying the first will make it evolve into de the other one
that's exactly what I tried, but Crystal always defaults to the earlier evo (I had one evolve at lvl 30 and another set for 31. Still tries to evolve to the lvl 30 one)
3:26 no more eevees please!!!!😩😫
yes. all the eeveez
