"The odd numbered generations focused on adding new Pokemon while the even generations focused on new evolutions to pre-existing Pokemon."

I was having a discussion with some friends about how they have to wait for Gen 4 in Pokemon Go to evolve a lot of their pokes. Ex) Weavile, honchkrow, mamoswine, tangrowth... But then I realised they just got to evolve some from gen 1 in gen 2. Ex) steelix, blissey, kingdra, scizor...This led me to the realization: Gen 1, 3, 5, and 7 focused on adding new Pokemon, while gen 2, 4, and 6 added new evolutions to those Pokemon.Note: Gen 7/Alola follows this because the forms are not evolutions but new Pokemon. And gen 6/Kalos added mega evolution.You could argue that OR/AS added more mega evolutions but I would say to look at the other remakes. They all followed the pattern of the generation they were remade in. Gen 1 (FR/LG) was remade in gen 3, and gen 2 (HG/SS) was remade in gen 4. We didn't notice because they were both even or both odd. So it did work, but gen 3 (OR/AS) was remade in gen 6 so it followed the gen 6 rules.I think this is a brilliant model because it keeps innovating on the Pokemon that already exist but not all the time. It allows for those generations of entirely new Pokemon that are insanely thrilling, but can come back the next year and say "Hey remember those old guys you used to love? THEY HAVE NEW EVOLUTIONS!"Let me know what you think!! via /r/pokemon http://ift.tt/2vNO23W
