Pokemon are different from other creatures in that many of them can spontaneously mutate and acquire new powers. In Pokemon parlance, this is called 'evolve' though though of us with an interest in paleontology know that evolution only occurs over a period of thousands or millions of years, while a mutation is something that a living creature is born with- it doesn't generally happen at a certain stage of life. However, animals do change as they grow older and furthermore in the insect world there is the phenomenon of metamorphosis, which is really what the Pokemon do- they metamorphose.
I don't know if the latest incantation of Pokemon, Pokemon Black and White, are 'evolved' or not, but they sure look as if they are. They have evolved and may be found anywhere they are selling Pokemon goods- in fact they dominate the shelves and any Pokemon fan who wants something new can't get enough of them. Check out the new Pokemon Black and White plush toys, the stuffed toys and figures, the new Pokemon Black and White Promo cards, and the latest in Pokemon Black and White Zuken and Tomy Figures.
I myself am not familiar with how a Pokemon undergoes evolution, though if your child is a Pokemon fan, I'm sure he is. I would imagine that the Pokemon go somewhere private to do it, but maybe it just happens spontaneously.
I do know that I can spot the evolved Pokemon manifestations on Pokemon charts when quizzed by my son, though I don't seriously think that's any great feat. Unfortunately, my interest beyond picking them out wanes; I don't even know their names or powers, a fact which never ceases to horrify my son. He just doesn't seem to be able to fathom how anyone cannot spend his or her entire day and night not thinking about Pokemon.
It has managed to sink into my head, vaguely and through shear repetition, that each Pokemon is associated with some natural element like grass or water. It is sometimes said that the Pokemon therefore emerged from the 'kami,' or gods, of the Japanese Shinto religion. While that may be true on some level (I've heard it was not), it is also true that there is only a single god for one thing in Shinto- rain, for instance, while the Pokemon are grouped.
Actually, and this as far as I'm concerned is a much more accurate reference to the mutation of Pokemon, the Pokemon game was conceived by the children's (mainly boys) habit of collecting and battling insects. Now while we adults may conceive of that as cruel, it is after all just something boys go through. Anyway, the metamorphosis of insects would explain Pokemon 'evolution' better than anything else.
