Mid-Game Evolutions: Do we like them or not?

@zarator - I figured, so how do you reccomend we split them up? Doing each in turn would take quite a while, any that can be grouped together?
 
To go with zarator's example, you might have one ballot with options like:
  • Acts like a switch phase and costs 20 energy
  • Acts like a switch phase and costs 40 energy
  • Acts like a command and costs 20 energy
  • Acts like a command and costs 40 energy

Yes, it will mean that you could end up with some pretty big ballots, but it resolves both the issue of one decision influencing another and the issue of time.

This was me, don't worry yourself over forgetting who said it.

If we absolutely have to keep mid-battle evolutions, this is how I'd prefer it be done. The obvious stipulation is that the KOC earned from the KO is used for the EC to trigger evolution. This solves the problem IAR mentioned earlier, that "why can we use our EC before the battle ends, but not MC or anything else?" Furthermore, for all the people mentioning anime precedent: I didn't watch the later seasons because i'm not mentally stunted, but the only mid-battle evolution i remember from the first season involved ash's Krabby koing something, which then allowed it to evolve into Kingler and KO an exeggutor. (fuck the anime seriously rofl kingler v exeggutor before xscissor existed) i understand that sometime in hoenn a sceptile evolved mid-battle to get the poon-tang from a swellow, but since the first season was the only good one, letting things evolve only after KOes doesnt break anime precedent either

He actually defeated Exeggutor as a Krabby and then evolved (Sweeping Seadra/Golbat 5 minutes later) :>


Anyway, i kinda dislike the whole ''Must get a KO to evolve'' thing, especialy if said KOC is used on the EC. If a pokemon is at or below 50% HP and has enough energy, it should be allowed to evolve in a switch phase, imho.



Should Mid-Battle Evolutions be kept?
Yes

---IF YES---

When should Mid-Battle Evolutions Occur?
Switch Phase

How much should a Mid-Battle Evolution Cost?
20 EN for BELOW 50% HP

Should Pre-25 moves be automatically added?
No

How should we handle the evolution's HP?
Equal Percentage

Additional
Evolving cannot break battle rules ( no mid stage in LC, etc )
The pokemon's prizes are not affected by the evolution



With that last part, i mean that if a pokemon has 5/6 EC and evolves mid-battle, he will still get 1 EC at the battle's rewards. That prevents mid-battle evolutions to be used as a free evolution counter (And Move Counter, if the pokemon became a FE with an unlocked DW Ability), which seems to be a big issue regarding this.


On a side note, how do we feel about unlock DW Ability upon release or during the battle?

Well, even if you evolved mid-battle, you're supposed to get that 1 EC. Somehow, I recall something from someone stating that mid-battle evolvers are using that very EC. Which means, you have, say, 5/6 EC on Riolu, you release it, it automatically gains the battle counters, and use that 1 EC to evolve immediately instead of waiting for the battle to resolve. So if you evolve mid-battle, it's a definite that you're claiming the EC outright, instead of what may be an FE mons 3 MC.

As to DW Abilities' part, I'm okay with supporting it. Though, I would rather that the said DW Ability is unlocked right after release, instead of "Oh I'm gonna Dragon Dance right now, better unlock that DW Simple!"
