>>27627136>The evolution shares key features from the pre-evolution, but the change is prominentMy favourite. Each stage retains the core basis, but has enough modifications to keep some variety
>Just gets biggerI honestly feel this is quite a forced meme based on hate for the first generations. People now expect evolutions to dramatically change and gain features just because. Since each generation tend to have fewer and fewer new Pokémon, they want everything to be completely different as in their head it increases the count of new concepts and designs. For me, it's fine when it's "essentially", but can get boring if "literally" (unless the base is pretty original and interesting)
>The evolution is completely different except for an idea or a concept that ties the evolution and its pre-evolved formVery nice when pulled out right. Usually these are nice adds, but only when low on number. Too much and you get Digimon levels of "lol randumbness xDD"
>The evolution and the pre-evolution have nothing to do with each otherThis is pure shit because breaks cohesiveness
