The Klingclank line already exists
i know but it would be nice to see more mechanical pokemon with gears. You really could do alot with the idea beyond just a couple of floating gears.

WOW those are really cool looking. I aside from Magearna, I think one more of them would be great!
I actually forgot about Magearna but its not far from this kind of idea. It would just be good to seem more like that.
having mechanical looking pokemon can easily become steel fire ghost electric (even grass for wooden ones or moss covered ones) i just feel like you can do alot with them and make them look just as various.
It would also be good to see the pokemon company to expand a little more on unfamiliar critters for pokemon than the normal horse dog cat turtle pokemon (not that those are bad but we have so many).

I agree 100%

Someone made an interested point on another site about the theory that Aerodactyl was originally a dragon type but he is rock because he is resurrected from a Fossil then he started talking about Lance and about some NPC dude in a museum in FR/LG talking about how these bones of the Aerodactyl are dragon bones.
I kinda wonder if the Gen8 games will do something with Aerodactyl whether it is evolution or finding him alive. (maybe do something with the Fossils in general?) I know I am speculating here, but S/M had a NPC give you an Aerodactyl.
That would be something interesting to see.

I'd like to see them explore Genesect's non-Plasma form. If anything, I'd like them to buff existing Pokemon instead of giving them evolutions since Evolite would break most of them. Do I even have to say how bad an idea is giving Bisharp and evolution? Also, not that this is a strong point of evidence of anything at all, there is no reason to assume next Pokemon Switch game will be Gen8.

None. Don't touch any of the old Pokemon in any way. I am bored to tears of new forms/evolutions of old stuff.

You are completely right except for the part where Pokemon's CEO confirmed that the 2019 Switch title will have "many new Pokemon" in it:

This took two seconds to Google, are you trying to be contrarian or something?

No, not at all. Many new Pokemon can mean anything. They can technically add four or five Pokemon and still call that "many". Like I said, I have no doubt that it will be generation eight but it could also be a reboot in a current region with new evolutions for existing Pokemon. I know I'd like to see them slow down and expand on what they have now.

Would it make sense for them to go back to Sinnoh and add a bunch of pokemon? I know pokemon placement was unbalanced in that region ( or at least I think it was).
Gen 8 seems more likely to me but maybe I am wrong.

Male evolutionary line for Goldeen/Seaking. I find it odd that goldeen clearly looks like a Queen fish, but can be male. Seaking is the reverse---it can be a female but it's name clearly has a male implication.
Male line for Mawile as well, since it can be either gender, just like they did for Gargevoir.
Male line for Primerina of course. It's one of the more Obvious signs of Female-specific Pokemon. A masculine male version can be done, as mermen exist too.

Of course this does not mean Every female-specific design has to have a male form, but these are among my top ones across the generations.

I am back for my next round of speculation, which is why I joined here in the first place.

1. Dunsparce
The obvious candidate.

Dunsparce has the movepool that would make an epic sweeper or wall, yet it lacks the stats to really make effective use out of it.

I would like it to become a Fairy/Ground-type upon evolution, like I mentioned in the past. With better abilities like Intimidate and Sheer Force, coupled with a BST on par with Arcanine, Dunsparce would become the majestic, yet stronk godly snek we've dreamed of for years.

2. Castform
I would imagine it becoming a Normal/Flying-type cyclone with a unique Ability that summons a random weather condition that alters it's Normal-typing to correspond with the conditions of the weather that is summoned.

3. Corsola
A natural means of properly standing up to Mareanie and Toxapex, I would give it a more confident, yet spooky appearance, alongside the Water/Ground-typing. It's branches are sharper and would be surrounded by cracks underneath that would allow it to send seismic shockwaves to ward off it's poisonous predators. It would still have to compete with Gastrodon and Quagsire, but it can have it's uses.

4. Delibird
It is established to be the Pokémon version of Santa Claus. The Santa motif would be heavily emphasised should it evolve. It would a slow and bulky Ice-type to prevent it from being busted, since it has access to the Hustle Ability. It would learn Roost for some recovery. I would envision it being an Ice/Fairy-type, given that Santa is a mythical figure, but Ice/Flying would be fine by me, since it has STAB Aerial Ace, which can work exceptionally well with Hustle.

A good Ability for it would be Snow Warning, since it has access to Aurora Veil.

5. Farfetch'd
The Spaceworld Demo shows that it was meant to evolve. If Tangela can still get an evolution long after that beta, so could Farfetch'd.

While it is meant to be a scam to players, it has every right to be a candidate to evolve. It would have a new type of stick that boosts Grass and Bug-type moves, since it has access to really good moves like Leaf Blade and First Impression. It would be a swan that acts like a samurai, similar to it's beta evolution.

6. Komala
Comatose is too good of an Ability to waste, but I can see why it would not evolve. Even so, it still has the potential to become a beefy koala that would be a mix between Pangoro, Conkeldurr, and Snorlax. It show no mercy, even in a deep state of slumber. It could become a Normal/Psychic-type, since Musharna and Drowzee are associated with the power of dreams.

7. Jynx
Mainly to complete the elemental humanoid trio it seems to be a part of, alongside Magmar and Electabuzz. Some ideas I've seen floating around includes a Valkyrie specialising in the power of opera. I would imagine it becoming some sort of Snow Queen or Blue Diamond-like figure, yet retaining it's yellow and purple colour palettes.

8. Chimecho
Mainly to have a requiem bell Pokémon. It would become part Ghost-type to partake in many spooky ghost parties, especially in haunted mansions. It would have streamers, a cape, and a steel bell for it's tail. It would be more feminine in appearance, but it would be nice to have a spectral princess Pokémon.

9. Heatmor
While it would be unfair to leave Durant out, at least the ant has good stats and Ability to be a dangerous physical sweeper. Heatmor has access to a new move called "Fire Lash", which is a great new move, yet it doesn't have the stats to pull it off.

I would like it to become a Fire/Steel-type when it does evolve, since it has a lot of pipes on it's body. It would have Sturdy or Filter as it's Ability to better stand up to it's prey.

To ensure Durant is not left out, I would see it getting a Mega Evolution, since it's already pretty strong itself. Mold Breaker would be a fantastic Ability, although it would heavily complicate the predatory relationship both Pokémon have.

10. Meowstic
Mainly to show that the Espurr line can only hold back their immense psychic power for so long before their ears grow tired of restraint. I would see the female becoming a powerful Psychic/Dark-type with a terrifying Sp. Atk, while the male becomes a bulky Psychic/Fairy-type. Their movepools may not change all that much, but both would learn Focus Blast and Moonblast for better coverage, as well as Moonlight for some recovery.

@CF1994, I agree, Dunsparse and Delibird no doubt need new evolutions! I was surprised it was a dragon-type when I first encountered it. I assumed it was a bug so ignored it for the rest of the game.

There are many other ice types as better options, Deli was useless. Plus, it's "Present" attack move had a chance of healing the enemy---not ideal. Jynx, Dewgong and even Feraligatr were better ice-type with wider ranger of attacks.

Since Delibird is a flightless grounded ice-bird, it could gain ice-like armor since it has to encounter many more ground-based threats in it's natural habitat.
