"Evolving mid battle? What do you think?"

Not sure if an identical thought has crossed anyone's mind before. Considering that we've had Mega Evolution and Dynamaxing, has there ever been support behind a mechanic whereby you can evolve a pokemon mid battle?Consider a scenario where you fight a Bug Catcher with a Charmander. You knock out a Venonat and your Charmander hits level 16. Your opponent still has another 2 pokemon to send out but your Charmander has hit the requirement to evolve. I imagine a mechanic where the evolution text appears "huh? Charmander is evolving?!" where of course you can hit B to stop or let it evolve. Now a Charmeleon it might offer the player to learn a new move and then the fight resumes. To me, this small action could make fights much more interesting and engaging knowing that your pokemon could evolve at ideal times during a battle as opposed to barely getting through an encounter for your pokemon to evolve after the fighting is done. Walking in to a Gym Battle on the cusp of evolving to trigger an evolution when the Leader is down to its last powerhouse Pokemon to me would be pretty fun.Maybe as an incentive, a newly evolved pokemon could have all its stats go up by one stage (think Ancient Power buff). Wouldnt want to make things too easy in my opinion. An evolving pokemon mid fight shouldn't be buffed to the point the rest of the battle is a walk in the park.What are your thoughts on this? Would this idea work in your mind or does the evolution post battle stand the test of time?Cheers! via /r/pokemon https://ift.tt/2Ndt9XK
