Failing to use a clockwise/counterclockwise order was a screw up on my part. I believe some four panel comics number each panel from 1 to 4 to prevent confusion.
And oh man, some pokemon get really ugly as they evolve. take a look at the Generation 6 starter pokemon (Fenekin, Froakie, Chespin).
I think that in later generations they have tried to make evolved starters more and more human-animal hybrids, for some reason. Which generally makes for awful pokemon.
I think the worst offender was blaziken. If the idea was to make a giant rooster of fire, they missed big time.
I actually sort of like Greninja.
