Like Aromatic Mist said, it's highly unlikely that all of the following will not evolve:

-Komala
-Salandit
-Wimpod
-Bounsweet
-Morelull
-Pyukumuku
-Jangmo-o
-Minior

(That is not to say these all will either, but these are the ones I expect to evolve and I would not believe at least half wouldn't)

It's not that the list is "fishy", it's more that it's just how it was made. Likely the riddler only wanting to leak certain things or only show for some pokemon how many are in their evolutionary line.

No, I don't want a cruddy ability on wimpod, these pokemon are likely to evolve sooner or later.

Scruffyjay was saying they're likely to evolve. "Unlikely to not evolve" means they probably will evolve.

First of all, he was saying that among these Pokemon, at least one of them is likely to evolve, not that none of them are likely to evolve.

Second of all, Wimp Out is a pretty good ability. It's just not as glaringly obvious as I'm-gonna-double-my-STAB-damage-lelxD-Adaptability but I can think of many strategic uses for it. In fact, if Wimpod does evolve, I'm hoping its evolution keeps this ability.

Riddler's Pokemon Update (21st September 2016) Notice the vertical dotted line separating Aristotle from UBs and Magearna.

Where were Finneon, Lumineon, Sneasel and Weavile "seen"? I understand the difference between faded and non-faded, but I can't recall where those two lines were hinted at it or seen in features, locations etc.

Also if anyone here visits and posts on the site the Riddler is leaking, please ask for some hints/riddles for future Alolan forms. The list of possibilities is starting to run low :p

in addition: where have typlhosion and feraligat'r (or any member of the lines) been seen? I just recall the meganium t-shirt

Another leak mentioning a Saolgaleo/Lunala pre-evolution. Guess if you say something often enough, it might come true. :/

Even though it would bring something new, I doubt Solgaleo and Lunala would have pre-evolutions. It is quite unnecessary and most would use Solgaleo and Lunala more. Plus no legendary has a pre-evolution. Manaphy is a mythical and it's pre-evo doesn't evolve into it so that was an exception.

I personally wouldn't like a pre-evolve or want one to happen for legendaries.

I'd love a pre-evolution for the Legendaries, because Phione isn't actually a pre-evolution and comes from a Mythical Pokemon. And a Legendary pre-evolution would be something different and new. Alola seems full of that! :)

Legendary pokemon are suppose to be complete pokemon. Barely any pre-evolutions get used for competitive play. I do not think it would happen. Alola maybe introducing new stuff but they should at least keep some of the old traditions. Solgaleo and Lunala getting pre-evolutions would be a bad idea in my opinion.

I can't see it happening either tbh, the new attention to a pre-evo however has me thinking...

Legendary pokemon are suppose to be complete pokemon.

Except for the numerous instances in which they have been incomplete, which have been listed to you before, so I don't know why you are bringing this point up once again. Kyurem is literally an imcomplete being, and we have to this day never seen its completed form. Hoopa Confined is Hoopa with is power compressed and restricted, taking on a diminuitive form in the process. Keldeo Ordinary Form is a Keldeo that has yet to master its secret technique. Diancie is not only incomplete in that it contains impurities that are shed upon Mega Evolution, but it is also a mutation of Carbink, which suggests that Carbink is akin to a pre-evolution of Diancie. And of course there is Zygarde, whom I am sure we would have described as "perfectly complete" before we were shown that it not only has a literal "Complete Forme" (and a less-complete 10% Forme), but is also in fact composed of countless individual Cells.

It is fine to not like the idea of a Solgaleo/Lunala pre-evolution, but this particular point is demonstrably false and does little to argue against the idea.

Barely any pre-evolutions get used for competitive play.

I don't really see why this matters. Pokémon aren't designed solely for use in competitive play. For instance, nobody in competitive is running Sunkern, and yet, it can dominate at the Pokéathlon. Not to mention that having Pokémon with more than just single-stage lines also works to determine distribution within the main gameplay, as well as fleshing out the world and bestiary of the games.

A couple pages ago, somebody said(I'm too lazy to find this) that some Alolan Pokemon have BREAK Pokemon Cards, and Ninetails BREAK was revealed today.

Also, Mega Evolutions will return, as shown here and here(This Japanese gaming magazine mentions that Jangmo-o's Soundproof ability can block out Mega Gardevoir's and Sylveon's Hyper Voice).

Why do you feel the need to constantly enforce this same opinion every time the topic is brought up? We get it. You don't like the idea. You don't know any more than you do, and trying to assert this as fact when in reality there truly isn't any evidence behind it yet is pointless for the thread and wasting your own time.

A pre-evo legendary would be interesting for LC, although I doubt it'd be allowed.

But yeah, I highly doubt they'll be get a pre-evo.

A pre-evo for Solgaleo and Lunala would be a pretty unique thing for the mascot legends. I wouldnt be opposed, it would be fun to get it and raise it to evolve, Id be very curious about the circumstance that would lead to you getting said pre-evo as well. I welcome anything differing the regular old "catch the mascot legend as is" thing.

I just dont really think its something that should be immediately dismissed, Game Freak has made things in this game different than others and this could be one.

Maybe a downgrade form for Solgaleo and Lunala than a pre-evolution would be better. I can't see the later occurring unless it is of significance to the plot.

FFFfffff... I was hoping they wouldn't return tbh. Oh well! I suppose it stacks with that mega glalie accessory.

If I had to guess- I've noticed that his signature states that he has Asperger Syndrome. It makes him highly repetitive, among other things. It's annoying, but it's really not his fault, and I do appreciate that he seems to be making an effort to sound better by explicitly stating in recent posts that what he says are his opinions and not facts.
