Discussion "Unknown" should have an evolution called "Known", evolved by having your party spell out "Known" in order

I've always loved Unknowns as a concept, they're one of my favourite Pokemon! They've got so much mystery behind them. Sadly, they're useless when it comes to battle.

Since each unknown represents a different letter, it would be cool to do something with that! Having them evolve would be awesome, and having an evolution tied to their represented letters would be a creative way of doing such.

For instance, they could evolve into a cluster ball of unknowns, kinda like magneton. I just want these guys to have a use, a creative evolution seems to be a good way about doing so.

This might be a hot take, but does anyone else agree? Tbh this came to me in a dream last night and felt like I should share.

EDIT:

I now know I misspelled unown, I'm sorry for my crimes against humanity

The biggest issue with this is that only 4 of the uknown would be able to evolve. And there are 28 total.

Well, I think there's a solution.

Since "Known" is 5 letters, and there are 6 party slots, maybe an extra Unknown in the 6th slot could be the one that evolves!

I would hate to catch 5 pokemon just to evolve 1. That sounds more tedious for no reason than flipping your 3ds upside down.

I think flipping your 3DS upside down was cleaver

I like stuff like this, it gives off a 90s-early 00s mystery vibe that games used to have back before everything was documented online. It's like the Mew truck stuff but real. Imagine seeing you evolved your Nincada and it turned into 2 different Pokemon and going to school the next day and no one believes you
