>>40755505Yeah but in Gen 2 Scyther got an evo and Heracross became Pinsir's new buddy. Then the two of them got Megas at the same time.
Unless your name happens to be Psyduck, GF usually gives counterpart pairs reasonable symmetry.
Similarly Magmar/Electabuzz/Jynx all got new babies together but later Jynx was left out of the Gen 4 cross-gens. Probably because it's controversial and GF wanted to forget about it, but honestly if they gave it a new evo with a new design untainted by controversy they'd do a much better job of it. Jynx would just become another forgetten middle stage and the final stage would be the 'definitive' version.
