Should there be less three stage Pokemon?
>>58305976yes
Yea, middle stages suck ass. Babies too for that matter.
>>58305976the best dexes are the ones with the most 3 stage lines
>>58305976>Johto and Sinnoh both have 6shared fate in so many ways lol
>>58306017>Johto>Alola>50+% single stagesFucking disgusting
>>58305976No there should be more. More and more modern 2 stages feel incomplete
>>58305976>old pokemonmeanwhile scat vomit has shit like pawmi pasmo pawmot all looking like copy and pastes
>>58306040in Johto's defense a lot of singlemons got expanded on in Sinnoh; Sudowoodo, Aipom, Yanma, Murkrow, Misdreavus, Gligar, etc. but the chart only counts what the lines looked like at the time of release
>>58306017>paradox pokemon were excludedWhy? They're neither forms nor evolutions. Guess they didn't want Paldea to look the worst here since that excludes 20 mons.
>>58306017only 6 Sinnoh lines? Could have thought there was more.>Infernape>Empoleon>Torterra>Garchomp>Luxray>Staraptor... ... ... oh. It did add a lot of 3rd stage evos for old lines though. Roserade or Mamowsine are basically Sinnoh lines to me.
>>58305976This is such a dumb take. That is a stone evolution line, so the middle is necessary because the final evolution stops learning moves and the 1st stage is too weak to keep using till level 50.
>>58305976*fewer
Your sole justification appears to be of design. Middle stages are a neccessity to have an intermediate level of power for a gradual increase.
>>58306078>Vulpix>Growlithe>Eevee>Jigglypuff>Clefairy>Shellder>Staryu>Piakchu
>>583059763 stage lines are kino, lets you feel like you're growing with your team throughout the journey>>58306071was it just me or did Paldea have a lot of 2 stage lines that felt like they couldve been 3.I would've much rather they just iterated a bit more on the new lines in order to hit 1000 rather than give us the paradoxmons
>>58306040Alolas like that because of the Ultra Beasts
>>58305976evolving is cooltherefore we need more third stages
>>58306049Pawmi line is kino actually because they look like something from the 90s.They would fit right in with the old dexes since they have the "it just sgets bigger" approach
>>58306108Pawmi line felt like GF doing what they should've done with Pikachu all along if Gorochu weren't cut.Maybe the reason why Pawmo and Pawmot don't look that drastically different from Pawmi is because they regret making Raichu (and Gorochu) too different from Pikachu, which hurts their marketability as a result.
>>58305976I think they are fine. Sure people might not care about these a lot, but they feel more like a necessary transitional state between first stage and last stage. For example, Shinx to directly Luxray would be kinda weird imo, and while I don't care that much about Luxio, I think it still deserves its role in the line.
>>58306099Spidops 100% should've been a 3-stage, it's design is too cool to be wasted with this dogshit stat-spread
>>58305976>gets rid of the best one>doesn't address the problem of it not becoming a frog
>>58306017>Paradoxes not counted>Ultrabeasts are???
No in fact there should be more of them
>>58305976death to youtube discourse
>>58306017>Unova has 19 whopping three stages>And yet there's so many 2 stage pokémon with lv 40+ evolution requirements What the fuck were they thinking
>>58306568Shit like this makes me wonder how GF playtests the games, or at least how many Pokemon were actually tested in a playthrough before the game is shipped. We know from GS that there's Pokemon that were never tested before the game is rushed out the door.
>>58306058How does that defend Johto in any way? Half of their single-stage pokemon got evolutions since they were useless. 9 out of 18, not even including Overqwil or Cursola.Even Kanto to this day only got 7 out of 20 and Scizor doesn't even increase it's BST. Hoenn got 2 out of 21. No other generation needed a fix as desperate as Johto's

>>58306703i dont get why they added Kingambit but it's hard to complain, he feels so right
>>58306138paradoxes are effectively just regionals with dex numbers
>>58305976faggot tier zoomer problem. adhd vaping fr no cap niggers and troons.
>>58305976ever heard of worldbuilding?Why does everything have to service the calculated expectations of minmax compfags?
>>58305976no, there should be more
>>58306028Johto was made to flop because Game Freak didn’t want to make Pokémon anymore (sugimori is on record saying he didn’t want be be known as the Pokemon guy around the time gen2 was being made) Not sure why Sinnoh is like that though
>>58306703Vanilluxe, Unfezant, Klinklang and Eelektross could have been stage 2s, while the stage 2s that evolve at absurdly high levels could have been stage 3s, except for Mienshao just lower the damn requirement for that thing
>>58306072Yeah, if you were to include the crossgen evos, then the number would be significantly higher — trying to add in my head but it adds around 10 to the total
>>58305976There needs to be more.
>>58306568It's a mix of two design philosophies. The first being that every area had to have at least 1 new Pokemon (usually 2), so naturally there were gonna be Pokemon that appear late, combined with the fact that every Pokemon has at least 10 levels before they evolve from the moment you catch them to ensure you spend some time with that stage before they're gone.Which is perfectly understandable because, if you ask me, I'd rather have a late evolution than retarded shit like the Jangmo-o situation where you literally evolve twice in two levels because it's already at its full requirement by the time you find one.
>>58307010Budew/Roserade, Mamoswine, Dusknoir, Electivire, Magmortar, Porygon-Z, Rhyperior, Magnezone, Togekiss, Happiny
>>58305976Poliwhirl is my favorite Pokemon and PokeTubers should be publicly executed.
>>58305976Poliwhirl exists so you know what you're investing in. You wouldn't just catch a Poliwag and use a water stone on it.>>58306108This bitch exists for no fucking reason at all.
>>58307059she exists to make you seethe it looks like
>>58305976there is no such thing as a "filler" stage
>>58307139You habe a really low bar for what counts as seething. It makes you seem like you live a very unstable life.
Its funny how Whirl is better for RBG than Wrath since it doesnt get raped as hard by psychic
>>58305976>Should there be less three stage Pokemon?Nah, actually they need to a page from digimon. We need less shitty digimon and we need to consolidate lines.>>58306010this>>58306108>>58307139Honestly it's just taking up space, it doesn't do anything. We didn't need three.,
This trend of>ew why is it 3 stage?has got to be the absolute worst taste trend I have ever seen. We need MORE 3-stages, not fewer.
>>58308236>Honestly it's just taking up spacesame dex as white diglett, brown tentacruel, pokemon but spikes and pokemon but metal
>>58306125is poliwrath not also a frog?
>>58308649The thing is we only get to use useful shit in game or things that will become worthwhile eventually , many digimon are just NPCs or enemies.
We should have a FOUR STAGE evolution. Come on. For at least one single line.
>>58308660Poliwrath is a jokemon that's a tadpole but just bigger and stronger.
>>58308827GOROCHU
