I dont get why everyone is losing their shit over Rockruff's "secret" evolution. Yea there is a day and night evolution.

Remember Gen 3 with Silcoon and Cascoon... Yea. This evolution isnt new or a secret at all.

Granted this "secret" may hold something for the starters of Alola, but it isnt by any means a never before seen secret.

Pokemon that evolve by day:
Budew
Happiny
Riolu
Tyrunt

Pokemon that evolve during the night:
Amaura
Chingling
Gligar
Sneasel

Countless others using time of day to evolve or reach a new form. So this isnt a surprise and just something GF implemented to jumpstart the franchise again :/

People are loosing their shit because when Rockruff was revealed, it was said to have a secret. The starters also have a secret, form the same issue. They all were grouped together, implying that they all shared the same secret.

Now that Rockruff evolves into two differently formed pokemon, many people are assuming that the starters will as well.

Im aware of this, but people are losing their shit and bricks over something we have already seen. "OMG it evolves into this one at night. So cool." But thot, we have seen this before. They put different make up on this one so we wouldnt recognize it...

Because it's the first evolution that changes based on the game played, not time of day.

We got more pages from corocoro

Wurmple's evolution is actually dependant on its personality value, not the time of day. The original Hoenn games didn't have a day/night cycle.

Also, to be fair, this is the first case where a SINGLE Pokémon evolves differently at different times. Budew can only evolve during the day, and Sneasel can only evolve at night, so there is a difference.

Also, apparently there's a chance that the forms are version exclusive, which has even less precedent than time-based evolution. So, either way, it's a unique case.

Wasn't day and night. Also, how on earth did you forget Umbreon and Espeon? They did it way before anything on your list.

Also, this isn't quite the same, as it's forms rather than completely seperate pokemon, which is rather different.

Also, with the latest scans, we've learned that it's not actually day/night, but rather it's version exclusive forms of an evolution, which is something we haven't really seen before.

They had a clock, they just didn't have the effects. Hoenn was actually the only way to get time-based evolutions in that gen, since Kanto lacked it entirely.

Also, how the fuck did you also forget Umbreon and Espeon?

No, people are losing their shit over the potential of starters having branching final stages; something we haven't already seen.

Thats a different topic im talking about... If you read I understand that may mean split evolutions for the starers ...im talking about Rockruff in particular. They are getting worked up over something we have seen before.

People need to fucking read...

Yeah, you're right, I could have been more clear on that.

And I actually realized that I forgot to mention Umbreon and Espeon as soon as I posted that. As it's been pointed out, they're two different Pokémon, though, so it's still not quite the same.

Possibly, though the real reason is because it's actually version exclusive, not time based like we assumed.

If that's indeed the case, which is entirely plausible, then technically that would mean that Rockruff has two different evolution methods since it still evolves into Midday Lugarugan during the day and into Midnight Lugarugan during the night. So basically a different evolution method (and different form) depending on the game version.

Any way you look at it, it's something we haven't seen before.

But also even with Day/Night evolution, the secret is that they are version exclusive forms according to most recent scan.

People are losing their shit because this is the first time a Pokemon has evolved into a single Pokemon that has two distinct forms those forms also seemingly being version exclusives which is a first.

Because "everyone" is people who just come here to shitpost about the newest info. It'll probably get worse as we get closer to release.

A split evo isn't unheard of, but this is the first time that it's considered the same Pokemon. It's also the first time that they were version exclusive. That's huge, more then you realize. This will drive people to one version over the other even more then a certain Pokemon being exclusive.

Your examples are shit because these are split evolutions, while now we have alternative forms of the same evolution.

It's a Castform tier gimmick, not two different evolutions.
