Speaking on the topic of new Pokémon evolutions, I really hope the DLC gives us some more cross Gen evolutions. Give us like 6 more, so we can get to a nice even number if 10 new ones. They can all be from Pokémon not in the game currently to, or they could just say “this Pokémon can’t evolve in mainland Paldea because the environment or item it needs isn’t there. So they migrate here to evolve” or something like that.
If you had to choose 6 Pokémon to cross Gen evolve, who are you putting in the DLC? Consider any generation except maybe 8 fair game.
My picks:
1)Keckleon, a Pokémon with a great personality in the main and spin-off games. Seeing it evolve a be a boss in a new mystery dungeon( even more then before) would be amazing.
2) Male Combee evolution. How a knight concept has not been used for a bug/fighting or steel fighting evolution here is insane. Such great design concepts sitting there waiting to be used.
3) Noctowl. Unless a regional form this would probably never happen, but it deserves it. Taking inspiration from giant and wise owls from games is a fun idea that I think Gamefreak could execute perfectly,
4)Sigilyph: after Bisharp, any Pokémon could theoretically be fair game for an evolution,as long as it’s not a 2 stage Pokémon. Pulling from Gen 5, this would be a wild pick. As for an idea, one of the oldest creepy pastas I can remember was on the king of Unowns. What if that was the idea here. Sigilyph because ghost psychic, and a diety that leads and watches over the unowns. Probably would never happen, but the similarities they share lead to really unique ideas.
5) Gogoat, one of my all time favorite Pokémon. One that could fit the idea that if the environment being different in the DLC for it to evolve. Perhaps the harsher mountains we will explore have harbored the strongest of Gogoat,giving it a new evolution that’s rock grass. Now with rock polish, rock head, head smash, you don’t want to get caught by its horns. This also buffs Greta’s team up a lot if we get to rematch her.
6) Jynx. I was going to put a Gen 7 Pokémon here, and while I think both monkeys could get evolutions, I don’t see it happening for either one of them. So here’s my pick. Jynx has been long overlooked despite other Pokémon linked with it getting things, mostly new evolutions. So finally giving it one would be nice to see. Perhaps fairy ice or still psychic ice. Both work with its original design.
