>>11963382>Allows to be obtained earlierWhy is this relevant at all? What's stopping them from just making the existing Pokemon available earlier, why does it need a pre-evolution for this to happen? They hand you Pokemon like Braviary and Lucario super-early already, and it's not like playing through the story is hard even when using the shittiest Pokemon out there.
>allows new move poolsThey can add new moves to Pokemon's move pools without adding a pre-evo, I don't know why you'd bring this up at all. If anything, it's a strike against babies as the only thing they bring to the table could easily happen without them at all.
>perfect set up for a 3rd evolutionSo more dex slots wasted on revamping old Pokemon instead of adding new, fresh ones? And how does having a pre-evo somehow guarantee something will get an evolution? I'd rather they just give the Pokemon an evolution if they want to give it one and skip the baby.
>genwunnerDon't make stupid excuses like that, it just makes you look petty. Pre-evolutions generally do not bring anything relevant to the table other than looking cute, it's perfectly reasonable to not like them for that reason, and every reason you've stated for liking them do not actually need a baby to exist to occur.
