I've had the same Hoppip ever since I was a little girl. She doesn't battle or anything but I typically still have her hold an everstone just in case. The other day my mom left the windows open and a strong crossbreeze blew her out of the house. We looked everywhere but couldn't find her.
Luckily, a few days later she managed to find her way back to us but she evolved into a Skiploom (I can still tell it's her, I'd recognzie my Tumbles anywhere). I guess at some point she dropped the everstone or something.
I, of course, still love her more than anything in the world, but I can't help but be kinda sad she's not a Hoppip anymore. I just have a lot of complicated feelings about all this, you know?
Like I don't know, maybe she dropped the everstone on purpose bc she wanted to evolve and I had been forcing her to stay a Hoppip all these years. Or maybe she wanted to stay a Hoppip but had to evolve to defend herself against wild pokemon and she doesn't wanna be a Skiploom either.
I just wish she could tell me what she is thinking.....
Regardless, at the end of the day she's still my little Tumbles and I love her.
i actually really feel for this ask, shit is really rough. the decision to evolve or not evolve your pokémon has a shit ton of weight to it and i see why youre upset, but in the end, whats done is done yea? since you cant. like. unevolve her, you shouldnt dwell on whether she wouldve been happier staying as a hoppip or anythin and just focus on getting her situated in her new evolution. pokémon tend to be super in-tune with their trainers emotions, so you working on encouraging her in her new form will help her feel more comfortable regardless.
