>>29588307The list I've pasted doesn't represent Pokemon I find questionable in terms of design. I just wanted to point out how many single stage Pokemon are there in 3rd gen.
I think I need to clarify: I am not a huge fan of single stage Pokemon (even though some are cool like Zangoose or already mentioned Absol) and because of that Hoenn's dex suffered in my eyes. Granted, first generation had a lot of single stage Pokemon when it came out, however they were of higher quality in my opinion (Electabuzz, Kangaskhan, Aerodactyl, Lapras, Scyther etc.).
Here's a list of single stage Pokemon from every gen (I've made it long time ago when I was breeding). Just take a look at sheer numbers and compare them to Pokemon introduced in each gen.
