So, umm, I herd some things...

Seriously, this is good on the species, but... where's the mention of the meme? [[User:Birdboy2000|Birdboy2000]] 13:27, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

I dont know where it started but its been around for a while...and its pretty popular..like look what i found (didnt make) to put on a user page? {{User Mudkip}} anyways..''i'' think it should be under trivia something such as the following: "Mudkips have been in a popular online saying/joke stating "So i herd you leik mudkips" it is unkown why the spelling was never corrected but it is more popular in such form" well...thats just ''my'' two cents...anybody else got something to say? bill33421

http://www.wikichan.org/index.php/Mudkips(source to "i herd you liek mudkips")

Hehe, I put that on my page. Anyways, yeah, maybe a little something under Trivia. - [[User:Jonah|Jonah]] 02:31, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

:I agree, to Trivia with the meme. Also, I made that userbox. The question, though, is if we add the meme thing to Mudkip, what of {{p|Slowpoke}} or {{p|Seaking}}? '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 08:32, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Yes...i also put that on my page...and thanksalot for making it...there is a phrase mentioning it in trivia now...i think thats pretty sufficent...so what are the memes about seaking and slowpoke? i haven't heard those ones. bill33421

The memes are "Fuck Yeah Seaking" and...I'm not sure what Slowpoke's is called. But Slowpoke is posted onto pages at 4chan that are out-of-date, I think? (Like, if someone asked, "When is the human race going to go into outer space?" they would recieve a Slowpoke in response.) Yeah, put a small trivia thingy for Slowpoke and Seaking, I guess. [[User:Jonah|Jonah]] 18:00, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

The only reason Mudkip won that favorite Pokémon thing is because of the stupid ''""i herd u liek mudkipz"'' thing. It was probably the most ingnored starter Pokémon up until that dumb phrase. --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|ケンジ]][[User:Kenji-girl|ガール]] 22:12, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Okay so i looked up the slowpoke thing. its like when somebody says they've newly discovered something from distant past, and then they get a slowpoke in response because they are slow to find it...heres an example:

Person A:"Hey, i found a great new show called "I Love Lucy" Its really funny"

Person B:"Yeah...its pretty good...[[image:079.png]]"

The meme stems from 4chan. I could upload a screencap of the thread to photobucket or whatever to show you guys the original story, but it's probably rated R and NSFW.

The Wall Street Journal's sources obviously points towards 4chan as the creators of the meme; http://online.wsj.com/article/SB121564928060441097.html

:I realize said (incredibly stupid) Mudkip meme is quite popular, but does it seriously need to be mentioned in ''four'' separate Trivia items? That just seems like overkill.... [[User:JessTehSkox|JessTehSkox]] 23:12, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

==Origin?==

So... mudskipper or mudpuppy? I've looked at pictures of both and they look completely different from each other, with the mudpuppy looking (by far) more like Mudkip. Then again, mudskipper is the namesake of Mudkip (either that, or "mud" and "skip").

Jetison: /* Real-world evolution */

Ummmm.... The bit about Eevees at the end is plain wrong. Things don't evolve due to their environment. It is merely that the creatures that have a favourable variation survive to produce offspring and pass on their genes, and so more things have the variation than don't. This is like junior high-level knowledge. [[User:DanJimi|DanJimi]] 10:25, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

== Phione ==

I put Phione on the list of non evolving non legendaries, and it keeps getting removed. WHY???? It's not as though Phione is legendary. [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] 02:09, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

:Because in some people's minds, it is legendary. :/ [[User:Tina|Tina]] [[Special:Contributions/Tina|δ]][[User talk:Tina|♫]] 02:16, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

But it's not confirmed to be legendary. And IMO, the fact that one can recruit multiple Phione in MD2 PROVES conclusively that Phione is not a legendary (In the MD games, legendaries are strictly limited to one per game). --

If it isn't a legendary, why is it banned from the battle tower? It's definitely not because of it's battle prowess. No. It's because it's normally unavailable in normal play. You still need access to Manaphy to get them.

It's no legendary, but it's still an event Pokémon in a sense. - PDL
:The only Pokémon banned from the Battle Tower are legendary. Phione is legendary, albeit the crappiest of them. Plus, Missingno Master, you might wanna do something OTHER than just adding Phione in there, such as, oh, changing the count to 43 and making it so the table isn't f'd up.
:Plus, here's the thing: how much of a chance does Phione have of getting evolutionary relatives? ZERO! It has Manaphy. The other 42 have at least a chance of that.
:Jeez, I understand being the devil's advocate, but Phione just isn't worth it. It sucks in battle, sure, but so do many other legendaries. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]{{ani|155|Fire echy}}[[User:TTEchidna/GSDS|GSDS!]]''' 08:11, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

:Even if we assume that Phione is not legendary, which is unsubtantiated unless claimed or alluded to by the designers (that is, not any low-rank employee of an ''affiliated'' company), it still has no place on the list. The reason for this is that the list shows all Pokémon with ''some'' chance to evolve in later installments of the game. It has been observed, and in fact referenced in the Diamond and Pearl games, that legendaries need not evolve because they have reached their maximum potential as-is; therefore, there is no chance for any of the legendaries to evolve.

:It so happens that regardless of whether Phione is classified as legendary or not, there is no reason to believe that it will ever evolve. If it were to evolve, it would evolve into Manaphy, as any other scenario would be cumbersome (a legendary spawning a species not from its own family). However, the reason behind the fact that Phione does not evolve into Manaphy, which is that Manaphy is unique, will continue to hold beyond the current generation. -[[User:Unown Lord|Unown Lord]] 14:07, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

==Anime Evolution==
In regards to the relation between the evolution in the anime than in the games. Wouldn't The anime be more reasonably sound than the games. Because I doubt that if Pokemon were real that most of these evolutions would occur exactly as in the games. The way I see it, the only reason why a certain Pokemon evolves the way it does in the game (with the exception of evolutionary stones and such) is to make it difficult for the player and it would be easier for a Pokemon Game developer if they limited it to one specific set of circumstances.

Granted there are a few exceptions: Such as evolutionary stones, and specific locations for a Pokemon to evolve, and perhaps it knowing a certain move. Though with Evolutionary stones, in an episode it said that the wind was able to carry evolutionary stones, so couldn't certain Pokemon evolve that way when it appears it just evolves naturally or mysteriously?

As for leveling up and trading, those just seem to make it more difficult for a trainer of the games to obtain Pokemon, that could easily be gotten by easier methods. --[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 13:51, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

== new to community, first post ==

I'd like to add my finding in, I thought evolution however I'm not really sure how to add it in, and where it would go. I was trying to figure out if a pokémon whose evolution has been delayed would be as strong as the same pokémon of the same level and a "natural" evolution so what I did is I took a Pidgey and used rare candies to evolve it to 25 not allowing it to evolve until 27 the stats were as follows
71HP
39ATK
38DFNS
32SPATK
35SPDFNS
42Spd
I then reset the game
and gave the same pidgey rare candies this time allowing it the "natural" evolution at level 18 when it got to level 25 the stats were as follows
71HP
39ATK
38DFNS
32SPATK
35SPDFNS
42Spd

so we can infer that the level the pokémon evolves at does not affect the stats. If anyone wants to suggest a heading to put this in, or even shorten it up, by all means

== About the comment at the page bottom ==

EVOLUTION IS NOT ABOUT CELL STRUCTURE. Eevee's evolution isn't akin AT ALL to real evolution. Evolution is triggered by Natural Selection, therefore, a single species cannot evolve. Only a population can. Just thought to make a side note. [[User:JirachiWishmaker0802|JirachiWishmaker0802]] 09:13, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

I agree, I'm a Biology student, evolution is about animals with favourable adaptations being statistically more likely to survive and so over many generations the favourable adaptations are spread throughout a population. Eevee's evolution is no way close enough to real evolution to get a mention, I will remove the sentence now... [[User:Prof. Pine|Prof. Pine]] 19:05, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

== De-volution ==

Umm... Is it worth metioning in the article that only mentioned instances of "de-volution" is in Slowbro's pokedex entries. (When it loses its shellder) --[[User:Hyurnat4|Hyurnat4]] 21:28, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

: In the Pocket Monsters manga, It is also possible to De-volve as Isamu Akai's Clefairy evolved into a clefable and then back. Should this be added into the article as a subcategory, or as trivia? --[[User:Proctor|Proctor]] 21:50, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

== Gender-related evolutions ==
It's worth noting that some evolutions occur (or don't occur) if a pokemon's a certain gender.

* Combee only evolves if it's female
* Kirlia will only evolve into a Gallade if it's male
* and Snorunt into Frosslass when female.

I thought this would be in the article, but Combee wasn't mentioned at all. [[User:LordHeinz|LordHeinz]] 00:37, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

== Generation IV: Vulpix and Growlithe ==

Beginning with [[Generation IV]], it is now possible to get a Level 1 Ninetales/Arcanine by hatching a Vulpix/Growlithe Egg received from breeding and evolving the newly hatched Vulpix/Growlithe with a Fire Stone, making Vulpix and Growlithe the first Pokémon that can evolve to their final stage of evolution at the lowest level ever.
Unfortunately, the greatest trade-off of such an extremely premature evolution can be a poor move set which is very severe for Ninetales since it doesn't have any moves that it can learn by leveling up. --[[User:Arima|Arima]] 09:47, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
: This severe trade-off, however, can be alleviated to some degree through Move Tutoring and the use of TM/HMs. Therefore, it is merely a matter of choice between high stats and a reliable move set for either Pokémon. --[[User:Arima|Arima]] 10:06, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

::Togepi and Budew do need to level up to evolve; however, it's true that many Pokémon can now evolve at Level 1. Staryu, Scyther, Onix, Porygon AND Porygon 2... basically any Pokémon which can both hatch from an egg and evolve without leveling up. So no, this isn't too notable. Although, come to think of it, perhaps Porygon ought to be mentioned, seeing as it's the only one to be able to evolve twice without leveling up. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 11:29, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
:::It's noted on {{p|Porygon-Z}}'s and {{p|Roserade}}'s pages that they are the only two Fully evolved three-stage Pokémon which can be legitimately obtained at level 1, and I think it might be noted on some of the others' pages that they can be legitimately obtained at level 1. Question is though, is it worth mentioning it here? Because it could be slightly irrelevant, as the ability to obtain them at level 1 isn't ''that much'' related to evolution. <sc>[[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]]</sc> [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 18:50, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

== Evolution by level at level 100. ==

As far as I know, an evolution by level is triggered by an actual level-up sequence, thus a level 100 unevolved pokemon can't evolve by level. I couldn't find a mention of this in the article. Is it accurate, and should it be either denied or confirmed by the article? [[User:PLA|PLA]] 10:00, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
:Yes, a level 100 Pokémon that evolves through level-up can't evolve. I don't think that this is important enough to mention though... but that's just my opinion. [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 02:53, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
::It's implied in the [[Methods of evolution]] article, where it is stated that a Pokémon evolves due to three triggers, when being a level up. Obviously a Lv. 100 Pokémon cannot level up, so can't evolve if leveling up is their trigger. But I wouldn't know where to put it in this article. If the trigger is an [[evolutionary stone]] or a [[trade]], then it still can. [[User:Samjohn95|Sam]][[User talk:Samjohn95|john]][[Special:contributions/Samjohn95|95]] 23:35, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

==Real-world evolution==
"''the existence of "extinct" Pokémon backs this up''"

That's completely wrong. A species becoming extinct has nothing to do with evolution... it only has to do with evolving in the case that one species no longer exists because it became another species (like a mammoth evolving into an elephant). If it's just gone then that means nothing... dinosaurs are extinct and they didn't evolve into anything. Likewise, there's no evidence that the "extinct" Pokémon evolved into something else. They most likely just died out completely unchanged. [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 03:18, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

:Those aren't really conditions. Ash's Charmeleon evolved just because it was angry at an Aerodactyl and wanted to beat it in a fight.

:I think the admins are holding off on making any big decisions about it until we get the English-language information on it, which is expected in a few days. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 07:07, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
