Which stage of pokemon evolution do you generally prefer?



It's time to discover the board's favourite basic and fully evolved pokemon!

Favourite basic pokemon: Bulbasaur v Cubone
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/5/0/5/AANyLIAADXNh.jpg
These two adorable gen 1 youths have had pretty different paths to this point- Bulba has steamrolled everything in its path, and Cubone needed a late surge to finish a bonemerang ahead of Pancham last round. We've already seen that anything can happen in these 1v1s, so who's to say which way this will go? You!

Basic grass starter: Bulbasaur > Snivy > Rowlet
Champions basic 3-stage 1: Bulbasaur >> Litwick > Mareep/Spheal
Bulbasaur > Cyndaquil

Basic 2-stage pure ground: Cubone > Sandshrew > Phanpy
Champions basic 2-stage 3: Cubone > Murkrow > Wooper
Cubone > Pancham

Favourite fully evolved pokemon: Espeon v Decidueye
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/5/0/6/AANyLIAADXNi.jpg
Both of these two have had close calls getting here, with Espeon's string of tight matches and Decidueye barely beating Gengar last round. But they have now each defeated a gen 1 giant, and must face each other if they want to take a shot at another!

Eeveelution: Espeon/Umbreon > Jolteon
Champions evolved 2-stage 3: Espeon > Arcanine > Milotic/Gliscor
Espeon > Gyarados

Fully evolved grass starter: Decidueye > Torterra > Venusaur
Champions fully evolved 3-stage 1: Decidueye > Gardevoir > Charizard
Decidueye > Gengar

Quick vote:
Bulbasaur / Cubone
Espeon / Decidueye

Espeon > Gyarados
Decidueye > Gengar

Heracross 45-41 Snorlax
Haunter 46-41 Mewtwo

Two more close calls! Fame wasn't enough to win today, as the fighting bug uses its type advantage to stage a comeback against the snoozing anime icon, and ghostly Haunter absorbs the power of its fallen brethren and takes out the defining legendary pokemon (who to this point had waltzed through the contest). Our first semifinal is set!

I think Smash and the first movie have a lot to do with it as well.
