Go to Hell Luvdisc

Luvdisc.
Freaking Luvdisc.

Luvdisc isn't even that bad of a Pokemon as it is. Just a sweet and adorable water-type fishy fish. Although its bad stats are something to cringe at, that's pretty much to be expected from a single-stage fishey babe.

But there in lies our problem. Single stage. No evolution. None. Zip. Zilcho.

It just doesn't make sense to me at all. I mean, all sorts of pokemon are single-stage with no evolutions, yes, so there's no reason why it's bad that Luvdisc is one of those pokemon, that is until you consider the fact that for one reason or another

THAT THIS


DOES NOT


EVOLVE


INTO 

THIS

Look at Alomomola, a water type no-evolution pokemon that is pink and cute with almost the same shape and color pallete as Luvdisc. It make NO SENSE that Luvdisc does not evolve into Alomomola. I get that each Generation has their own addition to the original series and it was Generation 4's thing to add evolutions and generation 5 was when Alomomola was added but COME ON.

Game Freak must have been having a freak when they decided, "You know what we have none of and need one of? A pure water type pink fish. What we have one of those already? Make an evolution instead? No. not at all."

However my qualms have almost no basis other than design, so I can sorta understand why this might be the case. Alomomola is heavy in HP stats and Luvdisc has great speed, but their move pools are very very similar. You can always make the argument that any pokemon of the same typing is going to have similar move pools, yes, but not all water type pokemon have an empthasis on healing and support moves.

So what the heck can we do to solve this cluster duck of a situation?

In a perfect would I would suggest in Generation 7 (Haha, oh my god) we do a few more of the non-mega evoley wolvey things. Maybe the addition of a middle evolution between Alomomola and Luvdisc with a stat boost to Alomomola might be the best solution. Or maybe we can just get rid of Alomomola and Luvdisc all together!

Yes perfect. Let's do that.

It's time for the un-baptism of Luvdisc and Alomomola, let's do this.

Go to hell, Luvdisc.
