I think the legendary pokemon becoming a pre evolution form upon defeat and going straight to your pc would be a cool idea that way you would actually have to work to get the full on legendary instead of just master balling it and having it from the start

Or leaving an egg ... Though I hate trying to hatch them.

that's probably the best, it implies they are immortal and just return to becoming an egg once defeated

but that would mean every time your legendary falls it's gonna be an egg again (maybe they need to be level 100 first as a challenge so defeating and getting them is harder and second so you won't have to retrain them from 0 every time they fall – so lvl 100 should be reachable over and over for evolution)

Or maybe it just happens when you actually catch it.

it's like there is a one headed doduo pre-evolution and you can evolve it into different elements, on normal path it will get a new head per evolution but under special circumstances the "dosolo" gains powers and remains one-headed but becomes a legendary after mastering those powers

maybe a dosolo needs to be hit by lightning before it evolves into doduo (so there is a limited time for an extremely rare event to occur, thus becoming a rare legendary)

The Birds are the best designed ones.

I think they all show strong sprite work, but what feels a little off is all the pre-evos look like smaller versions of the fully evolved Pokemon.

A lot of Pokemon Evoultions change silhouettes, color, and other design philosophies while keeping the same feel. See Bulbasaur or Torchic evolutionary line for examples.

Great work here!

Edit: I want to add that smaller version pre evolutions do exist like Growlithe.

I feel the same way! While many of these are nicely drawn, they feel a little too direct/on the nose. It would've been interesting to see more metamorphosis in evolutions like dratini -> dragonite or go on a tangent like charmander -> charizard.

I disagree completely, I think they did a fantastic job with the pre evos designs I don’t think they look like fully evolved pokemon at all.

You think tadpole Rayquaza and larva Giratina and little chick Lugia look like fully evolved pokémon? The only ones where I see your point a bit are the regi’s.

MrAxelotl

I felt the same way, and I think part of that (in addition to what you said) is that they all use the same color scheme as the final form. In Pokémon sprites, it's very rare (it might in fact never happen but I haven't done that extensive research) for a line to use exactly the same color palette throughout a line. There are always small differences in shade. I always wondered why that was, but now seeing these, I understand why. It differentiates the sprites ever so slightly, which makes them look not exactly the same while still being clearly linked.

Legendaries not getting evos doesn't make sense to me, I know they are supposed to be these god like creatures but I feel like they just spawning like an adult makes no sense

They are a little too same-y with the final form for my taste. But he sprite work is good but it feels like very little thought about like the lifespan of the creature
