>Gen 1A tortoise that grows cool cannons
>Gen 2A small croco that becomes the biggest croco, ready to suplex your shit
>Gen 3A meme that suddenly becomes in the Meta's first nightmare out of sheer power alone
>Gen 4A cute mon that becomes a very solid pick in a fighter (Water Steel)
>Gen 5An adorable otter that evolves in a cool samurai (sadly, pure water. Could've been Water Ground or Water Rock)
>Gen 6A lil frog that turns into a freaking ninja!
>Gen 7A small seal that turns into a waifumon, even if it's male. Something happened here.
>Gen 8A crybaby that turns into a shooter. This would be cool, but from a pussy to a shooter sounds like a try hard
>Gen 9A jojo dropout that turns into that metrosexual dude who has an ass so big even woman want to peg it. Here is where it got fucked.
