10 Things Pokémon Sun & Moon Must Fix From X & Y

3. Mid-Battle Evolutions

If I don't keep asking for this, then who will? Well, probably someone else I suppose; the internet is a pretty huge and opinionated place, after all.

But anyway, one of the things I€™ve wanted to see in the series for a while now is the introduction of mid-battle evolutions, once the necessary level is met. Levelling up and learning new moves happens in battle, so why not evolving as well?

I spoke before about how some of the most exciting moments in Ash€™s journey in the anime have involved an evolving Pokémon turning the tide of battle mid-flow, and it would be great to see this represented in the games.

And, since it wasn€™t a feature that was introduced in X & Y, I can still consider it something that has to be fixed. Come on, guys; imagine the thrill of clinching a gruelling, early gym battle as your starter Pokémon finally hits their second stage evolution and gains the strength to emerge victorious. It would be brilliant.
