>>37023421I meant decision in terms of the character themselves making a decision on the matter, or another explanation given as to why they won't evolve. In reality, yes, the writers and executives make the decision of who gets to evolve and who doesn't. I never understood how they do this, since there are some instances of it being their intention to focus on a certain pokemon, but that can also mean nothing on if it evolves or not. Then again, I often cannot tell if the base form is more popular than it's evolution for a lot of things. Here is an interesting question, though: So we've been given this explanation for Rowlet. Can we say that Lana's Popplio can still evolve? Technically yes, but it's been kept in it's form for a long time as well. Enough to say that form is popular enough to stay as it is? If it doesn't evolve, will you be able to explain that?
