2. the only game design justification for babymons I could come up with is that they allow the developers to include certain evolutionary lines earlier in the game. I feel like most players will stick to the pokemon they find in the early routes, so oftentimes similar pokemon that are met later in the game tend to be ignored. Think of doduo-dodrio: it's a pretty strong normal/flying but by the time you first find one in RGBY you probably already have a pidgeot/fearow, so you probably won't use it. They can't solve this problem by just putting doduo in the early routes, because it was designed as a mid-game 2-stage line, so it would be too strong in the early game: therefore, they add a baby pokemon that can give you access to doduo's evo line without being too strong.
