What was your favorite episode for a Pokemon evolution?
Let's get Charmeleon/Charizard out of the way early, since I know everyone is going to choose that. But aside from that, what is your favorite?
I'd have to say:
- Chimchar evolving into Monferno during the 6 on 6 battle with Paul. Not only was it the perfect time for it to evolve, but it had a great backstory with Paul and the fact that it even lost after it evolved was something. You can't help but love the way Monferno evolved, especially with the animation and music that played during the evo sequence.
- Torchic evolving into Combusken. Back when early Hoenn was airing, nobody believed May's Torchic would evolve. Much in the same way Dawn and Piplup are now, people thought Torchic would remain small and cute with May forever. To actually see the writers evolve Torchic into Combusken, and especially into Blaziken, is something I never thought would happen. It also mirrored the development of its trainer and had some great battles, my only disappointment is the lack of screentime for Blaziken...as we only see it in two episodes.
