Am I a ghost or a man? Or a man-ghost offspring that come from mi father's inexplicable penetration of mi mother's ghostly woman parts? Or am I a child imitating a man's ability to change into a ghostly form in order to preserve mi appellation?

Like most of you, I wait for a certain move, than evolve them.
The only pokemon I never evolve is my Vulpix.
My siggy just got attacked by zubat.

Well depends on what moves it can learn on the pre-evolution. For growlithe for example, he can learn moves that arcanine cant so therefore you keep him unevolved until you learn them. but usually i evolve unless the move is a must have.

I like how you put jk at the end of THIS, because people might take it the wrong way, but you don't when you say that you have cocaine on your nose.

I always evolve my pokemon except on two conditions:


1. I'm Making an evolution set


2. I let my Pikachu keep the Light Ball.

Enough said.....
Even if one person steales waht you deserve, your reward will be even better than the last if you head down the right path.

Usually if i let them stay at a pre evolution it's because I'm trying to get them to learn a move they can't learn later, or they might learn it sooner.

Yep. Thats the only reason i would hold them back from evolving, I always want the last evolution even if the Pre-evolution looked better.
Not even KittEon can figure this damn cube out!

I don't evolve them on the level they evolve. I usually evolve the starter at around level 20-25. Otherwise, I evolve them at around 10 levels after when they actually are meant to evolve, unless they're happiness-based evolutions like Crobat or Umbreon, then I just let them evolve.

I check the internet for a pokemon's moves. Like what i did for murkrow, it learns different moves then when it does when its honchkrow. So i decide what move(s) i currently want, and then i evolve them if their next evolution stage cannot learn it.

You guys are so obnoxiously practical with your pokemon that I'm just plain disturbed. You realize that I NEVER evolve pichu? It's just too damn cute to be replaced by some dirty pikachu.

If you EVAR use a pichu in competitive battiling...I assure you Pichu will be 1HITKO.

It's a strategy game, Frenchfry. We're supposed to be practical. That's why I don't care for people that say pokemon X is bad because it looks ugly in their opinion. Who cares about looks outside of contests? The important thing is stats, abilities, and movepools.

I once started training an Azurill for a cute contest because I would rather the pokemon winning the contest to actually be cute. However I think Barboach is much easier to win a cute contest, even though I don't think it's very cute. In contests I can understand. In regular battles there's no reason to bash a pokemon like Scizor just because you think Scyther looks better.

But it was also designed so that six year olds would be able to beat it with little effort. I could understand if Pokemon was, like... ANY kind of challenge at all to beat, but c'mon. I beat the game before I could even READ!
If you EVAR use a pichu in competitive battiling...I assure you Pichu will be 1HITKO.
I've solo'd the elite four with a pichu. beating just one player-controlled pokemon isn't that hard, either.
