>>53024265Some of my favorite designs are/were single stage pokemon but its pretty obvious that a lot of them, especially gen 5 going back, were made just to appear in one area to so the game wouldn't feel as samey. I love both of these pokemon but be honest with yourself: when was the last time you thought about Volbeat or Maractus outside of a conversation about "forgettable pokemon"
>>53025657This has to be bait. I can understand Lickilicky and Ambipom + Probopas a little. But Gliscor and Tangrowth? really? they're just larger, more visually imposing, versions of their pre-evolutions. The only issue I could see you having with them is that they're not transformative enough.
