==Sprites to official art?==
Considering the switch from sprites to art in the evolution sections, should we use the art instead of sprites on this page as well? - [[User:050294|050294]] ([[User talk:050294|talk]]) 03:59, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
:I think we should, for consistency's sake. {{unsigned|WyndFox}}

== Porygon Trivia ==

Sorry the wording might be a bit poor, but I definitely think it is note-worthy since no other Pokemon has ever had an evolution introduced that could evolve yet again in another generation. It might even be prudent to add this trivia to Porygon's page, but I'll see how it fairs here first.

== Mega evolutions? + request ==

First post here. I feel like it's necessary that this page include mega-evolutions as well. Could someone (anyone), with more editing creds include the mega evolutions, like the Charizardites?

I've tried editing pages before, but usually mess up, and someone has to fix it for me, or they just erase my changes. {{unsigned|Camelsnake}}
:Bulbapedia does not consider Mega Evolutions to be the same thing as evolutions. The word "evolution" in their name is the only thing they have in common; they are totally different both in game function and in flavor text/lore. Mega Evolved Pokémon do not belong on this page.

== Galar Evolutions ==

Its been about a few weeks since Sword and Shield came out, and was wondering if we could get this page edited to have the generation 8 pokemon that got evolutions via Galar forms {{unsigned|Burgorton}}
:It's already been updated. Only the ones that go from regular to regional forms should count, as they go from Gen I (or IV in Mime Jr.'s case) design to Gen VIII design, rather than Gen VIII to Gen VIII.--[[User:Force Fire|<span style="color:#00A1E9">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#59C2F1">orce</span>]][[User talk:Force Fire|<span style="color:#BF004F">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#D5598C">ire</span>]] 04:46, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
::I think all regional forms should be included in this list even if we need to move the page to something like List of cross-generational evolution families. IMO, the Rattata family received new members in Generation VII just as much as the Exeggcute family did.--[[User:MisterE13|<span style="color:#0000FF">Mister</span>]][[User talk:MisterE13|<span style="color:#008000">'''E'''</span>]][[Special:Contributions/MisterE13|<span style="color:#800080">13</span>]] 01:27, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
:::I don't think we should count Alolan forms and Galarian forms as new Pokémon. They have the same numbers as their original forms. Alolan {{p|Exeggutor}} is still a Kantonian Pokémon as far as the National Dex is concerned. And this page treating Galarian forms as Gen VIII Pokémon meant it excludes {{p|Obstagoon}} and {{p|Sirfetch'd}}, which were two advertised cross-generation evolutions for Sword and Shield. And besides, the methods of evolving these Pokémon into their Alolan and Galarian forms are the same methods as normal. Pikachu evolves into both kinds of Raichu with a Thunderstone. It just has to be in Alola to be the Psychic-type. Exeggcute evolves into Exeggutor with a Leaf Stone anywhere. It just gets a longer neck in Alola. Alolan Marowak has an extra requirement to be nighttime but I don't think that qualifies as a crossgen evolution. Weezing gets a new form in Galar, but Koffing evolves into it at level 35 the same as the Kantonian Weezing. These regional variants do not belong on this page unless they are the forms required to evolve into Obstagoon, Sirfetch'd, Mr. Rime and Cursola.

The only problem with this is that Alolan Formes are still recognized as simply forms of the original pokemon, despite certain things such as different ways of evolution. Let's Go proves this by having all Alolan forms return since they are kanto pokemon. Galar Evolutions also do not have their own page, and it would be excessive not to put them on this page. {{unsigned|Burgorton}}

{{indent}}Yeah, we should just treat the Galar forms and Alolan forms as the original Pokémon. The black and white Zigzagoon that evolves into Obstagoon in Galar is still a Gen III Hoenn Pokémon in a new form. Obstagoon is a Gen VIII Galar Pokémon. That's a cross generational evolution.

== Mr. Rime ==

Sure it evolves from a Galar Pokémon, but it still is a part of a crossgenerational family. That's like saying we should remove Oddish from this article because it evolves into a Kanto Pokémon. [[User:Mr. Daikon|Mr. Daikon]] ([[User talk:Mr. Daikon|talk]]) 05:29, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

== Regional Forms ==

Should other [[Regional form|Regional Forms]] be added to this page? {{p|Meowth|Meowth's}} Alolan form is on this page and it doesn't evolve into a different [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon]]. Shouldn't we do that for the others? [[User:Ratboy Jr.|Ratboy Jr.]] ([[User talk:Ratboy Jr.|talk]]) 19:39, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
:I agree with you, this article is about cross-generation species, if {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Exeggutor}} fits the criteria, the same should apply for all the Regional forms. [[User:TossedDwarf5019|TossedDwarf5019]] ([[User talk:TossedDwarf5019|talk]]) 20:06, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
:Actually the ''whole'' Meowth family is on this page because of {{p|Perrserker}} whick is a individual species. Anyway Alolan Exeggutor, Alolan {{p|Marowak}} and {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Weezing}} aren't individual species and still are on the page.

::I want the Alolan forms off this page. The only regional forms that are relevant are the Galarian forms that evolve into new Pokémon. [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] ([[User talk:SeanWheeler|talk]]) 04:48, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
:::That will not happen--[[User:KnightGalarie|KnightGalarie]] ([[User talk:KnightGalarie|talk]]) 05:13, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
::::Then we should probably add the other regional  forms, too.--[[User:Ratboy Jr.|Ratboy Jr.]] ([[User talk:Ratboy Jr.|talk]]) 17:05, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
:::::The intent of this page is pretty clearly, some A evolves into some B, and there was a point when A and B were not both available together...
:::::Look at the intro. ''"For example, Pichu (a Generation II Pokémon) evolves into Pikachu (a Generation I Pokémon)."'' You cannot say the same thing about most regional forms.
:::::IMO, it's silly to include all regional forms here. This page ''was'' useful (and can still be useful) because it collects a thing which isn't collected anywhere else. But it's silly to include basically the entire contents of one page on another. At best...I would say it might be okay to work a "main" link in somewhere if people really think regionals are that "important". [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 18:05, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
::::::Then we should remove Alolan Meowth and {{p|Persian}} from this page because they aren't the regional forms we're worried about.--[[User:Ratboy Jr.|Ratboy Jr.]] ([[User talk:Ratboy Jr.|talk]]) 18:19, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
::::::Well... Maybe not by an evolutionary line, but regional forms are connected through breeding.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|<span style="color:#CC0000">Rocket</span> <span style="color:#666666">Grunt</span>]] ([[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|<span style="color:#CCCCCC">Report To Me</span>]])''' 18:27, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
:::::::Good point, depending on the region you breed it in (assuming it's not holding and [[Everstone|everstone]]) You can get a different form of it. So... nothing on this page will change?--[[User:Ratboy Jr.|Ratboy Jr.]] ([[User talk:Ratboy Jr.|talk]]) 18:37, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
:::::::There's nothing ''wrong'' with the Meowth line, because of Perrserker, which is a from a different generation than the other members of its line. The only errors are Alolan Exeggutor, Alolan Marowak and Galarian Weezing, because no new Pokémon õf their lines were introduced in other generation.
