Luvdisc -> Alomomola is one of the most ideal and necessary matches out of any such possible couplings.
And, yes, all larger mons should have smaller previous forms.
>Why split the dratini line? It serves its purpose, even if people may or may not like it.First, understand the thread. It is about what we don't like and what we think would work better. This does not only apply to cases where (you) think it's warranted. People appreciating the line more could very well be seen as a way of "making them work better" even if it goes against the original intention.
A baby dragonite that is essentially a tiny version of it would be brilliant and having it as a separate western dragon line to mirror dratini's more eastern influences would have been a remarkable addition to the gen 1 roster.
Dragonair absolutely does not need an evolved form. At most, it could grow limbs and have the ear-wings spread wide as a permanent feature. There. All the appeal of dragonair's design intact, with as much physical progression as with the change into dragonite.
Likewise for Dewott -> Samurott
