Opinions on baby Pokemon?
I think that they're actually a neat concept, but they're tragically underutilized. Pokemon like Magby and Elekid should be used to offer access to more diverse Pokemon in the early game - like, it level 10 Magbys could be hanging out in some crags near the second town, or Elekids could be roaming in the grass. It's more acceptable than throwing Magmar and Electabuzz right at the player, and a better move than relegating cool Pokemon until the late game volcanos and power plants.
What do you think?
Also I just really like Magby, it sucks because Magmar and Magmortar just don't look as good. Magby a cute.
