>>36507459The difference is that gen 2's werent retarded looking. Scizor improved upon Scyther. Steelix improves upon Onix.
Magmortar, Electivire, Magnezone, Lickylicky and the rest straight up look uglier than the pre-evos. Only Yanmega is a tolerable design.
As for babies, gen 2 had a reason for them. They were to showcase the new breeding mechanic. Gen 4 has no reason whatsoever to clutter the dex with more useless babymons. Nobody asked for a fucking babby Snorlax or Sudowoodo.
