On to new Horizons!
So evolution levels get brought up. A lot, really. Especially very late evolutionary levels, which are more of a problem in later generations than in past generations especially, but since I was bored and curious I decided to look at each generation's roster of Pokemon and looking at how the evo levels have been designed throughout the generations.
GEN 1:
Stats for Gen 1:
Mean: 26.69
Median: 28
Mode: 16
Range: 48
For starters, this level curve is...pretty interesting. The mean level of evolution for the Gen 1 roster is on the low end with around 26 and a median level of 28. Now granted, the key thing to remember is that many of these Pokemon are three-stage Pokemon, and most of the non-archetypal ones (or ATEFS, as Codraroll would call them) only evolve once by level-up, then need a more unconventional method to evolve again via stone or trade. So most of them reach their first evo usually by some point in the 20s, and some as early as 16. There are a few outliers, of course, with Rhyhorn, Ponyta, and the fossils evolving pretty late, and plenty not reaching their final form until the high 30s. Dragonair->Dragonite is the most obvious outlier amongst the bunch at Level 55, the highest of them all (naturally given it's the first of the pseudo-legendary archetype).
GEN 2:
Stats for Gen 2:
Mean: 25.76
Median: 25
Mode: 30
Range: 41
Looking at the overall trends here, Gen 2 so far has a pretty low evolutionary level curve incidentally. Most Pokemon will evolve in the early-mid 20s, and there are a lot of two-stage Pokemon amongst this mix. Pre-evolutions were added, and the ones that do range between Levels 20 and 30, with the mean and median ranging around 25. This is somewhat lower than Gen 1's evolutionary level curve, and it incidentally ties into GSC/HGSS's hilariously bad (and low-leveled) level curve. I am honestly not sure what went into the design process for this, especially seeing as how many of these Pokemon that evolve at low levels are obtained late, unlike in Gen 1 where the levels align with the point of the game you obtain them in (and ala RBY's level curve). Pupitar->Tyranitar stands out as an extreme outlier in this case, going for Dragonite's evolutionary level at 55 which is disproportionately higher than everyone else's levels.
GEN 3:
Stats for Gen 3:
Mean: 28.31
Median: 30
Mode: 20, 30, 36
Range: 43
Statistically, this is where the mean evolutionary level of a generation's roster of Pokemon starts going up a bit. Looking at the overall trends, there are a few wildly different trends. Some Pokemon evolve pretty early, some evolve relative to the point of the game you get them (like the Ice-types and the Ghost-types, who are pretty late-game Pokemon), yet some of the Pokemon with late evolution levels are actually obtainable really early, like Aron and Whismur, who despite being early game Pokemon, are very late bloomers. Flygon also stands out for a Pokemon that's obtainable mid-game. This is quite an antithesis to Gen 2 where a lot of later Pokemon evolve at low levels (which is future compatible, mind you). The trends here are a bit all over the place, and it seems GF was getting a bit experimental with evo levels here.
GEN 4:
Stats for Gen 4:
Mean: 27.71
Median: 30
Mode: 30
Range: 38
Gen 4's a little on the low end but relatively on part with the past three gens in terms of evolutionary levels so far. It has the smallest range of evo levels though: the highest evo level amongst Gen 4's Pokemon is 48 (Gabite->Garchomp) with the lowest at 10 with Kricketot. There's a whole lot of two-stage Pokemon and not a whole lot of three-stage Pokemon here, with a rather widespread distribution of levels: oddly enough so many either evolve rather early or rather late for the point of the game they will evolve in DPP.
GEN 5:
Stats for Gen 5:
Mean: 35.61
Median: 36
Mode: 36
Range: 48
Unsurprisingly, as is well known, Gen 5 is notorious for its Pokemon having very high evolution levels, and it shows, with the statistical mean+median evo level among Gen 5's roster being much higher than that of previous generations. Notably enough there seems to be a curve with respect to point of the game each Pokemon is obtained, especially among three-stage Pokemon where Pokemon like Unfezant, Scolipede, and Stoutland, all of which are early game Pokemon, evolve twice around the same time Pokemon such as Sandile, Gothita, and Solosis evolving once, and then again at around 10 levels later (~40ish), and late-game Pokemon go even higher than that! Deino especially. But there is a pretty clear curve where it seems the later the Pokemon is obtained, the higher the evo levels.
GEN 6:
Stats for Gen 6:
Mean: 30.89
Median: 35
Mode: 16, 35, 36, 39
Range: 41
The mean and median levels of Gen 6's roster are actually closer to Gen 5's, despite having no where near as high of evolutionary levels. There is a pretty even spread amongst the few Pokemon that Gen 6 brought to the table, with some Pokemon in the 20s and 30s and a few outliers in the 40s, and the peak is at Level 50. There aren't a lot of three-stage families to note here, and two of them evolve further via unconventional means. Though the Goomy line's levels are quite high compared to everyone else, naturally understandable considering it is the pseudo-legendary of the generation.
GEN 7:
Stats for Gen 7:
Mean: 30.07
Median: 30
Mode: 34
Range: 39
The mean level and median level are about on par with previous generations pre-Gen 5, but the overall distribution is on the lower end. Aside from the unusual case of the box legendary, a lot of these Pokemon are two-stage and evolve at rather low levels, usually somewhere in the 20's, with Mareanie and Sandygast as notable outliers, however. The evo levels for Gen 7's roster are still pretty low overall though, with even the Jangmo-o line's evolutionary levels being lower than those of previous pseudo-legendaries overall.
GEN 8:
Stats for Gen 8:
Mean: 29.09
Median: 32
Mode: 35
Range: 50
If there's one thing to note about the distribution of evolutionary levels of Gen 8's roster of Pokemon, it's that it has the widest range of evolutionary levels, at 50. There's a wide distribution across, although the Dreepy line's evo levels are notably high compared to everyone else, even stuff like Grimmsnarl and Hatterene will have been fully evolved by the time Dreepy evolves once. Beyond that, this does seem to follow a Gen 5/Gen 1-esque progression with evolution levels being relative to the point of the game you will see these Pokemon, with the lower evolution levels being for Pokemon seen earlier in the game.
GEN 9:
Stats for Gen 9:
Mean: 29.09
Median: 30
Mode: 30, 35
Range: 39
With Gen 9, we have a rather interesting spread of levels. The overall average evolution level hinges on the lower end, around 30-ish, but the distribution overall tends to most commonly hang around the 20s and 30s for evolution levels overall, with a few early game Pokemon on the lower end, and a few late ones on the higher end. In a way, the evolution level spread of Gen 9's roster of Pokemon feels quite similar to Gen 1's distribution, with many similar Pokemon hanging around similar evolution levels as each other. The Frigibax line's evolution levels are similar to Dratini's, with its final form standing out as an outlier of the bunch at Level 54.
So...in any case, this is basically a rundown of the distribution of the evolution levels of Pokemon from each generation's roster of Pokemon. Anything you notice looking at these and the statistical analyses of each generation's roster? Feel free to discuss if you find anything interesting looking through each of these! Especially any trends or tendencies you find, maybe even within certain generations. The design of evolution levels over time seems to be a rather interesting thing to look at imho.

Stats for Gen 9:
Mean: 29.09
Median: 30
Mode: 30, 35
Range: 39
With Gen 9, we have a rather interesting spread of levels. The overall average evolution level hinges on the lower end, around 30-ish, but the distribution overall tends to most commonly hang around the 20s and 30s for evolution levels overall, with a few early game Pokemon on the lower end, and a few late ones on the higher end. In a way, the evolution level spread of Gen 9's roster of Pokemon feels quite similar to Gen 1's distribution, with many similar Pokemon hanging around similar evolution levels as each other. The Frigibax line's evolution levels are similar to Dratini's, with its final form standing out as an outlier of the bunch at Level 54.
So...in any case, this is basically a rundown of the distribution of the evolution levels of Pokemon from each generation's roster of Pokemon. Anything you notice looking at these and the statistical analyses of each generation's roster? Feel free to discuss if you find anything interesting looking through each of these! Especially any trends or tendencies you find, maybe even within certain generations. The design of evolution levels over time seems to be a rather interesting thing to look at imho.
