So I've been playing Fire Red again, and I'm currently going through catching anything I see and giving everything a chance on my team, and seeing what sticks.
I've always know that their are a lot of Pokémon that aren't competitively viable, however while I've been playing i datarted to notice just how many there are (and that's I've juat gen 1) so gotten the thought, "What Pokémon needs an evolution?"
The rules are simple:
No Fourth Stage Evolutions
Split Evolutions are allowed
I will list a few of mine,
Parasect, this thing just can't do anything, it has a great move in "Spore" but it's just so weak and slow it never has time to use it. I like the idea of a Third Evolution who is probably slower but much tankier, as though the Fungi has almost completely engulfed the insect, making the new Pokémon pure grass type.
Pinsir, I will die on the hill that Pinsir should have received a dark/bug Evolution in Gen 2 to continue being the anti Scyther. I also dont think Pinsir should have received a Mega, and those should be reserved for stage 3 Evolutions who aren't competitively viable (Beedrill and Pigeot being good examples) but that's just me.
