Would it be a disadvantage NOT to evolve certain Pokémon?

Do you think it will be?

I don't want to evolve Axew because he is my favourite Pok?mon and he's just too cute.
I don't want to evolve Frogadier because he looks so cool!
 
Just stick an evolite on the pokemon you don't want to evolve, and you'll be fine

*Not recommended in competitive play, unless its a dusclops

Having Axew and Frogadier hold an eviolite helps (boost their defense and special defense by 50%)

There's also doing a little more level grinding for them than you would for fully evolved team members and super training.
 
You can also learn moves earlier if you don't evolve your pokemon.

For example in BW/B2W2, Snivy learns Leaf Storm at level 43, while Serperior learns it at level 62.

Dunno if this stays the same in XY but I think it should. Of course, evolving your pokemon gives them better stats so it's definitely a trade off.
 
A few NFE Pokemon are viable thanks to Eviolite. Of note are Dusclops (mentioned above), Chansey and Porygon2.
 
At first I wasn't going to evolve Braixen. Then Korrina did a number on my team so I needed the Psychic resistance. I'm happy, though. I just really liked Braixen's animation with using the stick for moves. Then I figured out Delphox also used the stick as a wand and I was happy. Then Delphox swept Korrina and it felt amazing XD
If you're happy about how a pre-evo pokemon is treating you, don't evolve :3
 
It all depends. Some people like evolving Pokemon and some do not. It's your choice, after all.
 
Reminds me of the person with the Eevee he didn't want to evolve, which I recall seemed to perform way too well.

Some pokemon only learn certain moves in their un evolved forms. Eevee for example only learns trump card if it isn't evolved.

how i feel when i look at fennekins final evo and im like whyyyyyyy (its not that bad but not as cute anymore ,,,)
swirlix looks so cute as swirlix like omg adorable cutiepie!!
 
Eevee is awesome by itself. I'm sure people could make use of it with Eviolite because I used one by itself on Pokemon Battle Revolution all the time. That was PRE Eviolite, and it still did well thanks to Adaptability.

Anyway, if you like your Pokemon as they are, you can choose whether or not to evolve them. I typically pick Pokemon whose full evolutions I like for my in-game team. I like having those improved stats while still having cool Pokemon I enjoy. Up to you and how you play though. Keeping Axew would be like having a cute mascot around. Give it Eviolite, and it'll be okay. :)

I think the Campsite system in ACNH is way more manipulative than it seems.
