[edit] 'M Evolution unsuitable
I think we should replace that image with an evolution of an official Pokémon. 'M is not an official Pokémon, it is a game virus. Andros 1337 15:24, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- I agree. So who's willing to take the screenshots? --Sparky the Seventh Chaos 18:34, Feb 6, 2005 (UTC)

- I can do that, if I remember to. I have the various games and also have them emulated. The big question is, which is the best game to capture an evolution from? The GB/GBC games, as shown, or the more modern GBA counterparts??? Master Thief Garrett 05:24, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Actually it's not a virus because it does not self-replicate (yes I know this was mentioned 1½ years ago :P) WikiSlasher 08:40, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
- Quite right, it’s a glitch, something quite different. -- WikidSmaht (talk) 06:49, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The evolution of Pokemon
Yes, I would agree that the evolution of pokemon is not related to Darwinism, but reather to Henri Bergsons' book titled CREATIVE EVOLUTION. For I have been doing research on it and still recovering from it. You'll be able to find it at Amazon.com. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Researchergonechristian (talk • contribs).
- Please sign your comments. Also, do you have a source besides your own personal opinion, such as a quote from the designers indicating that this was their intention? If not, it's original research and not allowed in the articles. --Sparky Lurkdragon 19:18, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Happiness evolution
While it could be percieved as a variant of level-up evolution on the surface( as could all the “Unusual” evolutions), it’s really rather different. Yes, it is triggered by levelling up, however, the mechanics and intention are quite different. Level-up evolution requires that the Pokémon gain a certain amount of battle experience, and reflects this by granting it a more powerful form after it reaches certain levels. However, a Pokémon which evolves based on happiness can do so at any time, theoretically even going from level 1 to 2, if it is happy enough. Furthermore, if a level-up evolution is stopped, the Pokémon can evolve after that any time it levels up. If a friendly evolution is stopped, the Pokémon won’t necessarily evolve the next time if the required conditions are not maintained. Because of this, and because happiness evolution is about as common as stone or trade evolution now, it really deserves its own full section, rather than a subsection. -- WikidSmaht (talk) 06:49, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
- I tried to make it its own section once but it got changed back. Good to see someone agrees with me :) --WikiSlasher 07:09, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
