Simic Manipulator, Evolve

[Dragongod131]

So lets say I take control of another creature with simic manipulator does he or any creature with evolve get counters on them cause it is coming to the hatfield under my control

It's not entering the battlefield, it is simply transferring controllers like a giant game of red rover

Malleo is correct. ETB effects/abilities will not go off when control of a permanent is changed, as all players share the battlefield. The ability is "when it enters the battlefield" not "when it enters your battlefield".

400. General
400.1. A zone is a place where objects can be during a game. There are normally seven zones: library, hand, battlefield, graveyard, stack, exile, and command. Some older cards also use the ante zone. Each player has his or her own library, hand, and graveyard. The other zones are shared by all players.

Since the battlefield is shared, there's no zone change to make it count as "entering the battlefield". It was already on the field, and still is, it's simply on another side.
