HELLO, EVERYONE. THIS IS GORDON COLE SPEAKING. I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT POKEMON EVOLUTION, AND I’M HOPING SOMEONE OUT THERE CAN ANSWER IT. NOW, I’VE READ THE HANDBOOK AND UNDERSTAND THAT POKEMON CAN CHANGE FORMS FOR SEVERAL REASONS, BUT I’M A LITTLE CONFUSED ABOUT SOMETHING. YESTERDAY, MY KRICKETOT EVOLVED INTO A KRICKETUNE. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND THIS IS NORMAL.

[Or as normal as the Pokémon world gets anyway.]

WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THOUGH, IS HOW COMMON IS IT FOR A POKEMON TO MAKE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT NOISE AFTER EVOLVING. I CAN ACTUALLY HEAR THIS SOMETIMES, AND I’M PRETTY SURE IT DIDN’T MAKE THAT NOISE BEFORE. IT SOUNDS LIKE…ACTUALLY, LET ME SHOW YOU.

GO AHEAD. IT’S RECORDING.

[There’s some silence, and then… this.]

IT’S REALLY STRANGE. ALSO DOES ANYONE KNOW IF IT’S NORMAL FOR POKEMON TO GROW A MUSTACHE AFTER EVOLVING? BECAUSE THIS ONE DID. AT LEAST IT LOOKS LIKE A MUSTACHE. I'M NOT REALLY SURE WHAT IT IS.

YES. THEY HAVE. I'VE HEARD THAT IT'S ALSO COMPLETELY NORMAL FOR THEM TO CHANGE INTO SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. THAT'S NOT REALLY WHAT HAPPENED HERE THOUGH.

[getthehorns]

yeah. one of mine started out as a little ball-looking thing and ended up looking like a

[ long pause ]

a gorilla? i think that's what they're called.

[canthearyou]

A GORILLA? BUT IT WAS A BALL BEFORE? THAT'S REALLY STRANGE.

[getthehorns]

yeah. if you ever get a chance, look up darumaka and darmanitan in your dex. it's probably not the strangest evolution out there, but it sure surprised me.

[canthearyou]

I'LL BE SURE TO LOOK THOSE UP. IT SOUNDS LIKE A VERY INTERESTING POKEMON.

THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION, CLIFFJUMPER.
