That you just didn't want to evolve?

I have a Meowth that I carry around with me just to use Pay day but I also keep for his Pick up Ability. Even though his stats are terrible and Pay Day does poor damage, he's fun to keep around and Letting him evolve feels like the fun will be over.

But I Dread when he gets close enough to lvling because I hate having to spam B button.
 
*looks at her boxes filled with nothing but Golett*

Yeah, I do have one that I kinda don't want to evolve. As much as I love Golurk--and I do love the big guy--I sometimes just want to keep my Golett a small and cute little robo-toddler.
 
I've had that problem with a few Pokemon. Strangely enough, Eevee was one of them...yeah, a few of his evolutions are great, but I wish Eevee by himself were a better 'Mon in general cause he's so friggin cute!!
 
Caught a Lillipup with Pickup, and I never let him evolve; otherwise, he gets Sand Rush instead. I raised him to 61.
 
wooper. i actually played all the way through diamond with a wooper holding an everstone on my team and he got his behind handed to him every battle, especially when fighting the elite four, but seriously wooper is just my favorite. i loved him too much to let him evolve into a quagsire. they're just not the same.
 
My Larvesta named Chump. After watching a YT video called The Larvesta Dance, I fell in love with the little guy and couldn't bring myself to evolve him into Volcarona. I already had that level 75 Volcarona so I just let little Chump be.
 
Roselia. I simply like its design as much as I dislike Roserade´s.
It was not so helpful later in game and against Elite 4, but I had others to cover this.

That happens quite a lot for my love with CatPokemon, I want them to evolve, but at times I don't want them too. Its a tough decision for me.

I also didn't want my Buizel or Dewott to evolve (Black2), I couldn't find everstones on time to prevent it from happening.
 
I don't know if the anime influenced me (obviously it did :D ) but I had a pikachu in my LeafGreen game and I really didnt want to evolve it... just seemed..wrong ôO

I did it anyway, cause a pikachu is useless compared to a Raichu, unless you have the Light Ball, which I obviously didnt have :/
 
I dunno, every time I evolve a Riolu I always get sad because it's kind of losing it's cuteness.
 
Not sure if this counts but I didn't want to evolve my Scyther just because I like it much more than Scizor.
 
I always find Zorua to be so adorable...

"Press the B Button to remain cute and cuddly! Press the B Button to remain cute and cuddly!"
 
I have hundreds because if I evolved my Quilava I wouldn't have a quilava any more and I already have a Typlosion why evolve my Axew when I already have Haxorus. I'm a collecter.

If you have nothing better to use, you can always give it an Everstone and ta da, problem solved.

As for me, Bulbasaur is the big one. Over the course of my Pokemon career, I've had at least one level 100 Bulbasaur for every Generation. I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Other's I haven't evolved for one reason or another are Ivysaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Pikachu, Jigglypuff, and Vulpix. Right now, I'm looking into training all the Johto Starters to level 100 without evolving them once.

This happens to me a lot, and is probably why most of my Pokemon usually end up evolving around 10 levels later than they should have.

My Larvesta is probably the most egregious example, it's level 75 and I still have no intention of evolving it. Plus he's Adamant natured, so it's probably better off as a Larvesta anyway.
 
Axew. It's just too damn adorable and endearing. Though I have evolved an Axew, I always keep a few unevolved.
 
one of my Dratinis did not evolve till level 51 but this was just to learn outrage quicker

i would never evolve my Scyther even though i like Scizor its just dosent look right its too diffrent from how Scyther looks and for some unknown reason its slower than a Scyther.
