>>18189802There's room for middle ground. My favourite evolutions are ones that stray from the original design in a logical way.
I love Dragonite, but I hate that it evolved from Dragonaire, which could have evolved into something so much better.
I hate the Vanilluxe line. There's one cone. There's a bigger cone. There's two big cones. Fucking yay.
Now, my FAVOURITE, though... 1, 2, 3 heads. Logical. But how easy would it have been to do another Aggron/Rhydon evo, with it standing up and being a super scary tank? Instead, they made it fly. They made it's beatles haircut open up into elton john frills. Badass wings. Everything you need in a final evolution.
And blue+black+purple colour combination is so good.
