>Hating AmbipomOkay, I get it, he looks like shit and doesn't do much. You do however look at what was done right. He evolves through learning a move (essentially at a level but whatever). That's an amazing, amazing start. Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of cross gen evos taking some Pokémon that weren't necessarily overlooked but were replaced by something that fits a niche and giving them a stat boost. The problem is things like Magmortar and Electivire evolving via trade. Restrictions involving the items being held gave it pacing in game, but I hate having to trade. The stones are fine, if the held items simply induced evolution like with Weavile and Gligar, that would be fine.
I feel like the crossgen evos were an experiment.
We had evolution through stones, leveling with an item, leveling to a move, leveling in certain places, and trading with items. It was a good experiment that led to some okay designs that I hope to see more of in the future.
