Anyone wanna place their bets on what new brilliant evolution method GameFreak will be introducing come this fall? My bets are on a "high-evolution" method. You have to level a Pokemon to like 99/100 for it to evolve, that'd be pretty neat considering the grind up there for one mon is pretty tedious and most casuals would give up shortly after 80. Just as a refresher:
Gen1: Introduced evolution.
Gen2: Introduced evolution via happiness value, time based, item trade, and stats (Tyrouge).
Gen3: Introduced specific evolution methods with Nincada and Feebas.
Gen4: Introduced evolution via area based, gender, item+level-up, and attack move learned.
Gen5: Specific trade evolution (Shelmet and Karrablast).
Gen6: Introduced evolution via rotating your 3ds around (Inkay).
Gen7: Introduced version exclusive evolution (Rockruff).
Gen8: ?
