>>42546082You're allowed exactly one ice cream mon, because its concept is never developed beyond 'becomes a bigger ice cream'. Likewise Gothita, Klink and Reuniclus. These are all one-note designs that show no growth deserving of a three-stage line, and may as well have been single-stage gimmicks with no consequent detriment to the quality of the roster. The elemental monkeys could have been single stage or omitted entirely, were there not a need to pad the dex. Being "based on myths" doesn't excuse the genies being a single design palette-swapped twice to fill slots, but I'll let it pass as BW2 added the Therian forms. Name another region that introduced an early-game bird, rodent, dog, cat and two separate three-stage bugs (inb4 Wurmple, though that's a shit too).
BW are my favourite Pokemon games but the filler dex was a transparent mistake that should never be repeated.
