They haven’t added new baby Pokémon since Diamond and Pearl.

Also, 18 species out of almost 1000 is hardly a big deal. They’re cute and marketable.

You can breed Pokemon egged from their parents but not babies ? Pfft. Then again I take that all back. That's gross.

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

Parasect is cu...

quote:

The bug host is drained of energy by the mushrooms on its back. They appear to do all the thinking.
When nothing's left to extract from the bug, the mushrooms on its back leave spores on the bug's egg.
The bug is mostly dead, with the mushroom on its back having become the main body. If the mushroom comes off, the bug stops moving.

Nevermind!

If they'd been introduced back then, we'd have grown up with breeding them and probably wouldn't be as opposed to it as we are now

Granted, most pokemon that people breed competitively don't have baby forms to begin with, and there's a plethora of ways to swiftly hatch eggs and induce friendship/level-based evolutions in a matter of...what, at most a few days of time and effort?

How many eggs did people go through in the days of the GBA/DS era?

Beautifly is cute

Goodra rules

I think Toucannon is super cute just because a pissed off toucan is adorable to me

Reuniclus is a squishy cute mon that's entire line always gets forgotten but is easily one of my favorite psychics

Mamoswine is literally just a big cuddly mammoth that grows out of two cuddly pigs

Blissey/Togekiss are cute but their baby forms are the cutest form they have

Eelektross should be on the list but I defy you to tell me you remember this pokemon existed at all or can name its other forms without a wiki, I don't even remember it's mid form and I like the thing

It's the ultimate pointless trivia pokemon to remember. It has no weaknesses and actually has a neat design in its line based off a cool eel/hagfish style but it's just so lame mechanically and overshadowed by almost any other electric type that people forget it.

Eelektross rules and is one of my go to examples for why Gen V hosed everything up. Its a Magikarp that evolves at level 39 and then needs a stone evo on top of that.

It also had one of the best transitions to 3D.

oh my god I forgot that it was a 39 level gap between 'tiny cute eel that knows like three moves' and it's second stage.
