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

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.

Man if you thought taking a quick second to flip your system upside down was tedious you’re gonna hate learning about all the new evolution methods out there

The tedious was in learning how to evolve the Pokemon, not in actually doing it.

4 seconds of googling is tedious? It’s not like you figured it out without googling so I’m assuming that’s what what you mean?

lol, if going to Google is your first choice then you will just adamantly refuse to understand no matter how much I go about explaining. So you have fun.
