With Sun and Moon coming, there are a lot of possibilities for new Pokémon. Aside from completely new ideas and concepts for Pokémon for the game, do you think any existing Pokémon will have any new Evolutions, Mega Evolutions, or Baby Forms? I think it would be interesting to see Solrock and Lunatone have new baby forms and perhaps Mega evolutions as well for obvious reasons. Cresselia, Clefable, Volcarona, and Ninetales would also be interesting Pokémon to get a Mega evolution, although they are pretty well by themselves, their designs could be very well incorporated into the theme of the games. Mega Flygon and Milotic are also mega evolutions I'd like to see in the games based off my own person preference. I think it would also be awesome for Lapras, Stantler, and Absol to recieve baby forms.
A baby form of Lapras is something that I have wanted in Pokémon for quite a while. It's already a cute Pokémon, and a baby evolution would just make it cuter. Other baby Pokémon that I would want includes Audino, Maractus, and perhaps even a baby Kangaskhan, although I'm not sure how that would work. There are a lot of good options out there, but I do believe that Pokémon has not given us any new baby Pokémon since Generation 4 when they gave us a whole bunch of them. As for new mega Pokémon, I want to see Johto starters for sure, right off the bat. It's unfair at this point to have the Generation 1 and 3 starters have Megas, and not Generation 2. I think some other Pokémon that should get mega evolutions should be Arbok, Electivire, Magmortar, Slowking, Froslass, Granbull, and Luxray. They could maybe do some more with the Generation 5 and 6 Pokémon too, although there aren't any specifically that come to mind.
I agree with a baby lapras, as well as with the solrock and lunatone babies. Other cool babies could be... maybe a zangoose, or maractus? I don't really know. I'd also love it if they gave Pachirisu a normal evolution, as well as potentially a mega evolution
Ya know... I think there's a possibility that all the electric rodents (Plusle, Minun, Pachirisu, Emolga, Dedenne) could get an evolution of some kind. It's the 20th anniversary of Pokémon, after all, and Pokémon is most well known for the OG electric rodent Pikachu. Maybe as some kind of salute to the rodent, we could be getting evolutions for all of the others? Because unless they come up with something super crazy for their stats, abilities, and/or types for all of them, I doubt Megas will do the trick. And besides that, there could be no timing more perfect then this year to show them off. I now it seems pretty farfetched, but I'd love to see something like this being pulled off.
I'd also like to see Cresselia, Flygon, Milotic, and Ninetales get a mega evolution. From what I've noticed, they deserve a new evolution especially Milotic. I also hope they also make mega evolutions for the remaining starters. That way, it would show more of the whole part of the "strong bond" the game and anime kept mentioning for mega evolution. I also agree with the baby form for Lapras. It would be so cute! <3 That's all I can think of for evolutions.
Since both gen 5 and gen 6 haven't introduced any new ones I'm going to say we still won't see any new ones in Sun/Moon. I expect to see more Mega Evolutions but in terms of new additions to old evolution lines I'm going to guess no.
I feel like Heliolisk should be given a mega-evolution too since it's a sun-related Pokémon. Would be great if it loses its normal typing as well.
I think there are gonna be more Mega Evolutions for sure. The Pokémon I want to see them for have already been mentioned by the others, damn (Flygon, Luxray, Heliolisk, more starters) I don't think we're going to get any new Baby Pokémon though. I don't know why, it's just a hunch.
I really want actually evolutions as compared to megaevolutions. As much as I like megaevolutions, some Pokémon need actual evolutions because they are on the weaker end of the spectrum in terms of stats or visual appeal. I'm talking about Pokémon like Spinda, Torkoal, Luvdisc, Durant, etc. Of course, there are Pokémon that really do need megas. I would love for Electivire to get one. Electivire was introduced in DPPt and everyone was hyped over it. It was so cool! It stats weren't bad, but it just wasn't as strong as I hoped. Maybe with a mega, it could get some more love? Jynx would be pretty cool with a mega as well. I mean it's such an iconic Pokémon, yet it really gets the short-end of the stick.
I'd Like to See Evolutions for: Eevee (Drakeon {Dragon} and Wasteon {Poison}) Dedenne Solrock and Lunatone (Shared Evo) Dunsparce Spinda Durant and Heatmor (also Shared Evo) Grass/Ghost Pokémon from 6th gen (Shared once more, mabye with another Grass/Ghost {Maybe a weed } introduced that will also share it) Babies for: Solrock and Lunatone/ Grass/Ghost 6th gen Pokémon (If and only if they don't get the evolution, a shared baby would be nice) Hawlucha (Just Because a baby wrestler would be so cute )
One of my biggest fears is that Mega Evolutions are just gonna replace new evolutions now, since they seem like a much easier way out and are the hip new thing, even though I think there's some that work better with just a Mega and some that work better with a new evolution entirely. I know Sylveon exists, but I think it's obvious it was just introduced to represent the Fairy type. HOWEVER, if Game Freak DO continue with new evolutions (which I will be absolutely overjoyed if they do), then there's a WHOLE lot I really want to see. To name some (aka all the ones I remember): Venomoth (tbh this is one I'd definitely be just as happy with a Mega for, but an evolution would be really cool and unexpected for it) Jynx Mr. Mime Sudowoodo Donphan (again, would be just as happy with a Mega) Qwilfish Every Pikachu expy (although I'm not sure they'd give all of them evolutions in one game) Delcatty (I know it's a stone evolution but its stats and such are so terrible that I would much rather an evolution) Volbeat and Illumise Chimecho Relicanth Luvdisc (hell, maybe even make it the first stage of a three-stage family) Lumineon Chatot Alomomola Stunfisk As for pre-evolutions: Miltank and Tauros (you've probably seen concepts for one by now, but a calf that evolves into one or the other depending on gender) Sawk and Throh (a Tyrogue-type pre-evo would be cool) Alomomola (to have it and Luvdisc become counterparts family-wise, make it the middle stage, since having it be the first stage might be a bit unfair)
Probably half of the Pokémon in the entire dex I want to have an added evo of some sort, but really, I don't think it's going to happen. In the entirety of generations 5 and 6, we only saw one continued evolution from a previous generation, and that was Sylveon, and that's because Eevee is an exception to every rule. I mean if Alomomola and Luvdisc aren't evolutionarily connected, then I doubt many other things will be. But... with my record of making accurate predictions relating to the next generation, it's entirely likely that every species of the current 721 will have a new stage or two added into it. So, yeah. I'll be proven wrong.
I'd love to see Absol get a baby form. Mega Espeon/Umbreon would be brilliant, and maybe their stones could be exclusive to their respective game? Mega Luxray, Arcanine, Ninetales, and Flygon would be awesome, and there's a lot that could be done with their designs.
