Heck, a fair amount of the times that evolution has taken place were during the middle of a battle.

Also the battles Sprigatito gets involved in, she wins most of the time. As opposed to Fuecoco who keeps getting bodied most of the time.Evolution is basically a storytelling device more than anything. I think an evolution being a satisfying storytelling beat is more important than any arbitrary amount of on-screen battle-time.
While I can understand that, having a decent amount of on-screen battling can help to make it more satisfying/believable. Plus, I remember how people reacted to the evolutions for Lana's Popplio and Goh's Scorbunny and Sobble. It may not be a fair comparison to make, especially when Sprigatito's evolution won't be rushed exactly, but I don't recall fans here being particularly happy when a Pokemon evolves without enough on-screen battling to go with it.Evolution is basically a storytelling device more than anything.

Well........I guess Sprigatito's battled..........enough. (And she did have a good amount of battling against Sidian in the episode that just aired.)While I can understand that, having a decent amount of on-screen battling can help to make it more satisfying/believable.

If you ask me, there is nothing that can justify the atrocities of Journeys. (But I've already made my opinion of that series pretty clear, and I'll save my opinions for that respective thread anyway.)Journeys also felt somewhat limited with the amount of battling that was needed to evolve Pokémon. However, I do understand that there was a fair amount of training and battling offscreen that could be used to justify the evolutions.
Hmmm.........looks like Hattena's possibly going to evolve, just like I thought it would! Also, Eevee and Sylveon, huh? Huh. Penny's Pokemon, maybe?So news of some recent Japanese merch have been announced, with some interesting implications based on the Pokemon featured/not featured:
(Sigh.) Probably. I really do despise what they've done to Eevee in that regard.The Eevee is with Pikachu so I can only assume its just "Throw the mascot and the basically second mascot on there" for that one.
I don't think it necessarily needs to be Hatenna doing the battling, but it could be more of an active participant either by healing Floragato from the back in a single battle or Fuecoco or whoever in a tag battle.I agree with the unbalanced part, but Hattena doesn't really feel like it would be a battler period so it kinda HAS to evolve without doing stuff before it can... start doing stuff because Hattrem is more fitting for combat.
Good news is, he's probably going to win the gym battle thing he is doing. Brassius based on the background in the Preview.He hasn't really won any major battles
