PkMn Generations Dev Diary #2 - Evolution Changes

Due to limitations of no online connectivity and no multiplayer functionality as of yet, several evolutions have been changed that required trading and other functionality that hasn't been implemented into the game engine. While Pokemon Generations will remain true to the original games in the series, it's large Pokedex with the option of collecting past the original 151 and new story elements in this direct-sequel to 1998 releases Pokemon Red and Blue are incorporated to add additional features which aid in replayability and entice the player to continue playing after completing the story.

Here is a complete list of the evolutions that have been changed:

Eevee -> Leafeon via Leaf Stone
Electabuzz -> Electivire via Thunder Stone
Magmar -> Magmortar via Fire Stone
Magneton -> Magnezone via Thunder Stone
Rhydon -> Rhyperior via Protector
Nosepass -> Probopass via Moon Stone
Poliwhirl -> Politoed via King's Rock
Slowpoke -> Slowking via King's Rock
Porygon -> Porygon2 via Up-Grade
Porygon2 -> PorygonZ via Dubious Disc
Onix -> Steelix via Metal Coat
Scyther -> Scizor via Metal Coat
Seadra -> Kingdra via Dragon Scale
Kirlia -> Gallade via Dawn Stone (regardless of Gender)
Graveler -> Golem via Moon Stone
Dusclops -> Dusknoir via Dusk Stone
Haunter -> Gengar via Dusk Stone

I'm not one for giving out spoilers, but I will say that Machoke's evolution into Machamp hasn't been changed due to the inclusion of an in-game trade with an NPC which will see the player trade away a Cubone (which can be caught in the Pokemon Tower in Lavender Town) for a Machoke.

Anyway, to finish up, I won't be on over the next few days due to a Christmas break, but Vermilion City has been complete and I'm hoping to get some screenshots up on here around the 28th/29th of December, and I will commence development on Route 11, Route 9, Route 10, Rock Tunnel and the Diglett Cave throughout January.

Merry Christmas.
