>>55303633the idea of baby pokemon isn't awful, the problem is the use FOR them is never capitalized on.
The idea of adding baby mons would be to add them in early areas... but most times, they are never implemented that way, they are just shitty mons that you have to go out of your way to breed to fill out the dex.
Like in BW2, the ability to get riolu early is both sensical, and gives you access to lucario in a natural way, ro magby and elekid, makes sense and is there if you want them.
That and another evolution can't always work, like snorlax can't get an evolution, it is already good, we don't need more powercreep to make not only a stronger snorlax, but also making it so snorlax can abuse the other stupid part in the game, eviolite.
