Middle Stage

[Tristan]

So does anyone else prefer the middle stage or second evolution for some of the starters? Sure there are other Pokemon that I feel this way about, but with the starters its always been traditional to either keep them at their first stage or evolve them to their last. For example, I prefer Quilava over Typhlosion. Don't get me wrong, Typhlosion is awesome, but I like Quilava because it's still small enough to sit on a shoulder or follow a trainer around without looking out of place, yet not baby-ish looking like Cyndaquil. It's the perfect form, to me. There's also Bayleef, because I think Meganium looks terrible. Wartortle is pretty badass but Blastoise is one of my favorites so I have to evolve it.

Grovyle looks awesome to me compared to Sceptile.
That big tail sucks and it has a big belly which to me makes it look slow

I like grovile better than sceptile too. Also I really like wartorle's look, but blastoise's cannons are badass too. If only the two were combined. actually, wartorle has a kind of koopa-ish look from Mario. I kind of wish feraligatr and crocanaw's names were switched because crocodiles are more fierce and salt water crocodiles are the biggest crocodilian.

I'm not sure I like toterra's look, since it's asymmetrical. I'm a guy that likes symmetry.

when i play pokemon on nds, i allways start a new game with a diferent pokemon ( i hack to do that) then, depending on the pokemon, i evolve them or not, for example, i allready did a game using only Pichu because Pichu is so cute^^, another one is Glameow, its realy pretty and its like a real cat, unlike the fat evolution Purugly...
Another example is Slakoth, as you know, it has the Truant Ability that makes you lose one turn each two turns, i evolve it to Vigoroth and let it stay like that, i know Slaking power is a monstrosity but Truant Ability can be a real pain, and Vigoroth looks cooler
but its like is say in my sig, Pachiritsu its the cutest pokemon ever, its small enough to pick him up or set him on our shoulder, its cuddly too, and funny as hell^^

Bulbasaur gets uglier with each evolution.

When I was looking at 5th gen starters I was kinda upset that the middle evo of both Snivy and Oshawott were so badass while in the next evolution they didn't look as great as I would expect. But I really do adore Krokorok, Dragonair, Seadra, Luxio, Kirlia, Quilava, Tranquill, Bayleef, Grovyle, Nidorino, Nidorina, Togetic, Duosion, Lairon and Wartortle. (not including the ones that only evolve once.)

i also think Grovyle looks better than Sceptile but Sceptile is stronger and faster than Grovyle.

I like Igglybuff and Jigglypuff but i hate wigglytuff

[Aquashin]

i frogot to add Dragonair, i still dont get it... Dratini is a serpent, Dragonair the same, why would Dragonite have wings, have hands and feet? i love Dragonair, her form is so mystical

[Jerry]

I guess it's one of those 'metamorphosis' pokemon where a 'larva' drastically changes appearance.

[John Flame]

I hate Wigglytuff

You obviously never played PMD:Explorers of the Sky


And anyway,the only pokémon i can say i prefer in the middle stage is Grovyle.
Yes,poor Slaking get's my vote
