In Pokémon evolution energy is more like the energy the Pokémon has already. if it’s strong enough to evolve, it will. Some Pokémon train or eat or rest up, so they have enough energy to go through the process of evolution. It doesn’t build up like gamma radiation or some ****SnakeFighter64 I think you're applying Doctor Who regeneration rules to Pokemon evolution.
I've never heard anything about "evolution energy" before.
It's drawn comparison to metamorphosis a few times.Yeah but Pokémon evolution works nothing like irl animals, so there’s really nothing to draw comparisons with here.
I didn’t know that. I don’t know how to fit that in with my understanding of it. It doesn’t make sense. But I guess that’s just my brain doing things again.some Pokémon straight up don’t want to evolve, even Pokémon that evolve by level like Meowth. I’m sure you could find a way to work that into your little headcanon.
bada bing bada boom
Sorry. I hadn’t seen your post before I posted that.And they’re not in pain. I dunno where you got that idea.
There’s a flash of energy when they transform and they do it by gaining levels of experience. It’s not that big a leap of logic.SnakeFighter64 I think you're applying Doctor Who regeneration rules to Pokemon evolution.

Rabbits are invasive little *****.It's easier to forgive, though. 'Cause bunny.
Evolution energy simply refers to the energy the Pokémon has. If it’s strong and resilient enough to undergo the process of evolution. It’s not magical gamma rays or nothin like that. The flash of light is because it’s looks flashy. That’s it.I didn’t know that. I don’t know how to fit that in with my understanding of it. It doesn’t make sense. But I guess that’s just my

And I got it because it just.... makes sense. It’s a natural process. Forcing them to not has to hurt them in some way. I understand if it’s not true, but I would still feel bad about it.

When's the Smashboards wiki moving to an independent server?It seems a lot of wiki sites on the Fandom IP are moving to their own property.
Today, the JoJo Encylopedia moved from the fandom website to its own independent server linked here (it looks really good btw)
Me and a buddy have been debating making our own usage of Mediawiki ourselves, VS Debating and researching fiction for no damn good reason is our stupid hobby and no one has seemingly moved to the site before. It's a big opportunity, IMO. The only one like it was OBD, and that site went to the ****ter in 2016 I believe. Narutoforums changed to be private, and it was a ****ing Naruto website so there wasn't much getting done there.
So maybe I'll start doing website things soon, who knows? Time to break my ****ing wallet for servers, yo.
Is that so?We're starting to run out of cats here.
Absolutely not. I already proven they're all memeable.Cinderace is the only memeable Gen 8 starter? Oh really?
DON'T MENTION THE SINWhen's the Smashboards wiki moving to an independent server?
God please don't.When's the Smashboards wiki moving to an independent server?
This gave me an idea, what if cancelling an evolution gave the Pokemon a temporary buff in some way? Like, instead of letting the energy out (leading to evolution) they focused it into defense - allowing them to take 1 hit without taking damage, or attack - boosting the power of their next attack significantly.In Pokémon evolution energy is more like the energy the Pokémon has already. if it’s strong enough to evolve, it will.

AgainBreaking News!
Ezio joins limbo with the others.
Wonder who the next victim will be? Watch it be Lloyd.
If it helps ease the discomfort, there's another clear example of the Pokémon world not dealing with energy release the same way as the real world would.I didn’t know that. I don’t know how to fit that in with my understanding of it. It doesn’t make sense. But I guess that’s just my brain doing things again.

Pretty much Game Theorists(you know the one i'm talking bout) in a nutshell lmao:I mean, I get where Snake's coming from.
It's several hoops of logic that you have to leap through, but I understand. I felt kinda similar about other topics when I was a young teenager, applying real world logic to fictional things.
That sounds pretty cool actuallyThis gave me an idea, what if cancelling an evolution gave the Pokemon a temporary buff in some way?

Whatchu' talkin about, Willis?If it helps ease the discomfort, there's another clear example of the Pokémon world not dealing with energy release the same way as the real world would.
Namely, the entire concept of Poké Balls. Being able to encapsulate a monster as pure energy only to then release it back as a physical form kind of flies in the face of conservation of mass and would, theoretically, release a massive amount of energy upon being released from the ball. Hell, larger Pokémon like Wailord or Eternatus being sent out should, theoretically, basically be a nuke. And let's not even get into Dynamaxing because hoo boy.
So considering the world doesn't literally fall apart upon giant Pokémon emerging from Poké Balls, holding back evolution very likely doesn't cause pain.
I like how Inteleon is basically a living toolkit, a gliding cape, finger guns, special eye lenses, and now a knife. What isn't James Pond hiding at this point?Inteleon has a knife in it’s tail wtf
It's logic that really only applies to fictional characters for character growth standards when it comes to "killing??? okay???? but they're enemies???? but what if they're me????" Shulk from Xenoblade is a good example of this.I mean, I get where Snake's coming from.

I just keep thinkin' 'bout those people who hated the starter evos when they leaked.
I just read up on the process, and apparently holding back evolution will lead to a weaker Pokémon with less moves over all. So even if it doesn’t hurt them, it’s still not a good idea.This gave me an idea, what if cancelling an evolution gave the Pokemon a temporary buff in some way?

are you really having a moral dilemma over a video game that children can play and beat?I just read up on the process, and apparently holding back evolution will lead to a weaker Pokémon with less moves over all. So even if it doesn’t hurt them, it’s still not a good idea.
God. My problems would be solved if I could just skip the starter picking and just go catch an Eevee or something. IDK. Just.... I should probably just..... I don’t even know. I liked the design for the Hatenna line but then I read what they were like according to the dex and realized the thing would hate me. I don’t know what to do.
Welp, tough luck on the starter thing, if you don't go and pick a starter, this happens:I just read up on the process, and apparently holding back evolution will lead to a weaker Pokémon with less moves over all. So even if it doesn’t hurt them, it’s still not a good idea.

Holding back evolution is usually suggested to learn moves faster. Missing out on moves from the evolution is a non-issue with move relearners.I just read up on the process, and apparently holding back evolution will lead to a weaker Pokémon with less moves over all.

Team Rocket's next injury inducing Pokemon?

if the pokemon out in the wild are literally coming after your blood and chasing after you with the intent to beat the **** out of you, and you're given a pokemon as a means of protection, and that pokemon willingly goes out of their way to do so, that's just how life is in pokemon. don't hate the player or the game, hate the fact we're having this conversation.
This doesn’t help me. This is not the kind of thing you tell a person who’s having an emotional breakdown.Just put it in the box and use Wooloo.
but why are you having one?This doesn’t help me. This is not the kind of thing you tell a person who’s having an emotional breakdown.
