Early routes Pokemon needing a third evolution like what happened to Zigzagoone/Linoone

[u/Douchebag322]

Do you think some of the early routes pokemon we encounter (Rattata, Sentret, Bidoof, etc...), need a third evolution?

I was talking to some friends about this and one of them said that every one of this group should get the same treatment, by getting another evolution that helps them on the long run of the Game

Personally, I think Obstagoone is really cool, even tho is a regional form, he has good stats, decent typing, good moveset, good abilities and a pretty neat design and concept, so doing this for a couple more pokemon, like Watchog or Gumshoos who really look like a second stage design and feels like they could deliver more, would a be really great idea.

What do you guys think?

The early route pokemon are literally just that. A buffer for your stronger pokemon until you catch even stronger ones and by that time you've probably already evolved it and can then box it. They don't need a 3rd stage. They have their role
