The thread is basically how evolution is handled in anime. How it looks, when it is used etc.
However, a scene from the first animated trailer of the 2019 anime got me thinking about one aspect of evolution I never really thought about before: How the Pokemon react to their evolutions.
Now, when a character in fiction has their body been involuntarily changed in a major way, they can react in a variety of ways. Panic, confusion, joy, and plenty of other moods. However, when Pokemon evolve in the anime, they barley acknowledge it most of the time beyond a "Check me out!" pose. It's the trainers who are reacting to their new forms. Now some of this can be due to context because they evolved during a battle or dangerous situation.
To start off this thread, I would like to know if there have been any moments in the anime when a newly evolved Pokemon have to process their new form. I mean things like looking at their new paws or their reflection with expression and posing that says "Is that me?"
