  • Pokémon is filled to the brim with little tidbits of lore and world building that may go over your head completely when casually playing. One such example is with Evolution Items: there is a lot of environmental storytelling hidden behind these objects that you may have never known about. Let me explain...

    I always figured that trading and Evo items simply acted as catalysts to encourage evolutions that can also occur naturally over a longer period of time or under other circumstances

    • @Ichigo90
      @Ichigo90 9 วันที่ผ่านมา +12

      Same here. Trading-either with or without items-just accelerates whatever process would normally cause the evolution. Scyther can evolve into Scizor without trading holding the metal coat, it just might have to find and eat enough food that’s really high in iron or something. And Kanto, for whatever reason, just doesn’t have that. Maybe the people there just have iron rich foods shipped in from Johto.

      I think thats supported by Steelix, where lore specifies and that it can evolve from an onix shaped by imense heat and pressure deep underground. Considering that Steelix was one of the first item evolutions available in the wild I always assumed those were forged by that process

    • @M_Alexander
      @M_Alexander 8 วันที่ผ่านมา +8

      @@thecaveofcreatures1728 the fact that Feebas, Eevee, and a couple others like Magneton can now evolve into the same thing by multiple methods also supports this.
      Like yeah there are "mysterious powers" at play but an Eevee always evolves the same way when exposed to a special icy rock of a special Ice Stone. Feebas was first seen to evolve by Beauty and later someone found the Prism Scale that had a similar effect. At the same time, Milotic and even Eeveelutions can be found in the wild in some places.
      Add into that how it's mentioned somewhere that wild Pokémon seek out human trainers from a desire to get stronger. Obviously they have a natural potential and training gets them to it a lot faster, including evolution

  • @IronDino
    @IronDino 9 วันที่ผ่านมา +14

    Imagine if they gave both Hawlucha and Hariyama an evolution based on it defeating the other holding a King's Rock. Thye could reduce the RNG by having their being an Ace and/or Veteran trainer that will battle you using both (with a gimmick that uses priority/multi-stike moves to try and trigger the flinch chance).
    Also, Porygon needs a 'proper' upgrade evolution.

    • @NSPBWii
      @NSPBWii 7 วันที่ผ่านมา +3

      I think a Split evolution could benefit Porygon. There's a Beta Porygon2 in Gold and Silver that ressembles a Dog. That would be cool. But Porygon Omega would also be great.
      Hariyama could have a feathered belt as an evolution, and Hawlucha could miss the mask and instead sport a crest with more feathers to make reference to maskless luchadores. He doesn't need the mask anymore, after all.

    Honestly the metal coat from space could make sense with the legends Arceus proof. That is the first game to not involve the other regis to get regigifas so could imply they aren't made yet, so maybe meteor fell into hisui or sinnoh and Regigigas used the space metal to make registeel

    The idea that Iron island was once a mountain that was part of the main landmass of Sinnoh during ancient times makes sense.
    Most likely what happened was at some point either erosion or some sort of tectonic activity caused the portion of the landmass said mountain was on to crumble and sink into the surrounding ocean resulting in the remaining rock formation to become the modern day Iron island.

    Having not played the gen 8 games, I didn't realise there were alternate items for Galarian Slowpoke' evolutions. I always attributed it down to physiology.
    While other Slowpokes fish with their tails, the Galarian fishes in the same manner as bears with salmon... slapping them out of the water with its claw. If a Shellder bites its paw, it becomes a Slowbro.
    For Slowking, it's the same as other Slowpokes... the Shellder clamps onto its head.
    However, in both cases, G. Slowpoke has a different reaction. Shellder excretes a minor venom (not enough to class it as a Poison type) when it bites, and these Slowpoke have a natural allergy to it, hence why G. Slowking becomes completely controlled by the Shellder as they evolve together. The venom is injected directly into the brain, causing a zombie-like state.
    That's always been my headcanon, anyway.

    I’ve always assumed some of these Pokémon didn’t exist until man and the man made items they need to evolve came around. Such as machamp and golem. I assumed that before pokeballs and man they never existed. Only once pokeballs were introduced did they begin to show up. Then I figured over time people would release them in the wild and that’s how we find some of them in the wild.
