>they now have to shove that same dumb moss rock/ice stone into every new game
All because they won't retcon the evolution into using ice and leaf stones.

Makes no sense for the fire/water/thunder stone to work on it but not the sun/moon/ice stone despite having evolutions that fit those themes.

Why is GF so stubborn? They changed Feebas' evo method so it's not like they CAN'T change it.

>Leaf stones exist in Gen 1 Kanto
>"This stone probably won't work on Eevee so lets not bother"
I think the stone existing and no one trying to evolve Eevee with it would be more retarded.

Not anymore retarded than people being unable to evolve Eevee into Umbreon and Espeon which just takes happiness.

Maybe people in Kanto just evolved their Eevee's before they hit 255 happiness? It is a shitmon after all.

This fucking baffles and infuriates me. They seem to love making shit hard for themselves half the time and on the other half can't give a FUCK.

>Yellow - Its genetic code is unstable, so it could evolve in a variety of ways. There are only a few alive.
>Silver - Its irregularly configured DNA is affected by its surroundings. It evolves if its environment changes.
>FireRed - An extremely rare Pokémon that may evolve in a number of different ways depending on stimuli.
>Platinum - Because its genetic makeup is irregular, it quickly changes its form due to a variety of causes.
Eevee being an unstable mess that can evolve with several different methods has been part of its biology since Gen 1. Making all eeveelutions obtainable through the same kind of item would go against that.

Imagine the evolutions if there had been one for the other gen's new features

Gen 3: Weather, Double Battles, Contest Attributes (Cute, Smart, etc)

Gen 5: Dream World, Seasons, No Poison Damage out of Battle

Gen 7: Z-Moves, Regional Variants, Universe/Reality Hopping

That's not true. Feebas will still evolve if leveled up with a maxed-out Beauty stat, even in gen 5. All they did was add an alternative method.

And why can't the stones be alternate methods for Eevee exactly?

Because they don't need alternate methods in the eyes of GameFreak. Compared to lugging around visible contest stats and a purpose for them, Friendship has been a universal mechanic since Gen 2, the Moss/Ice Rocks basically give them an excuse to rehash the same environments ad infinitum (alongside the need for a Magnetic Area, a Tall Area, etc...), and Affection will most certainly remain in the form of another iteration of a Pokemon Amie-like Mode seeing as how they kept its mechanics in LGPE.
