I she the best babymon?
>>58696574>looks different enough from the pokemon it was add to to work as its own concept >the pokemon it was add to is JUST strong enough to justify a weaker form>obtainable early enough that players can uses if effectively and raise it to its evolved form>its cute its up there
>>58696574Yes
>>58696574Personally I think Cleffa is cuter, especially in Crystal, but Budew is definitely a close second
>>58696574i'll never understand why they scrapped vulpix's pre evolution when it could've addressed sinnoh's fire type problembudew works just fine and does its job: available early game, weak enough to justify being a pre evo, eventually evolves into a strong mon
>>58696574in TCG? maybe!
>>58696671I was going make a wisecrack about them not want Gen 4 to pull of babyish kiddy slop like Gen 2 was but Gen 4 has just as many babies as Gen 2A more reasonable theory is that they wanted to maintain parity with Arcanine but game freak has never cared about counterparts beikg “fair”. even starters don’t have parity. Shit, Ninetales alrwsy didnt have parity with Arcanine due to their stats.So the only explanation is. Game freak is fucking stupid and anyone who isn’t a fsggot or NPC should hate them
>>58696574certainly one of the cutest :)
>>58696661Seconding this. Crystal's Cleffa is also by far the cutest green shiny.
>>58696574Its 10/10. And unlike many baby mons, it actually has a good reason to exist, both its evo and final are good within thwir respective mid and endgames. The perfect example of how a babymon should be. >>58696671Vulpix already looks like a baby mon and it's not really strong enough to warrant one desu. DPs original fire issue could just be resolved by adding ninetales and arcanine to the dex but they didnt because they wanted original dp dex to have 151 pokemon (i wonder why).
>>58698894No lie, one time I got the shiny baby, and I thought all the time she was the base Cleffa. It wasn't until I trained her to complete the dex that I noticed the shine and though "hey, this Pokémon is a shiny!"
>>58696574it’s togepi and budew, the shiny stone queens
>>58696574yeahshe was very usable
>>58696574Budew’s tied with Mantyke for best babymon if you ask me.Togepi and Chingling are up there as well.
>>58703084sleepy
>>58699887aww!
>>58701086paradise for this lil' fella
>>58696574he is
>>58713207Its a she only
>>58696574I love the hidden detail of the red and blue petals hidden in its head sprout and how they look like curled up arms. The leaf bib and the light green parts looking like a baby onesie are phenomenal design as well. Didn't this adorable little fucker warp the TCG to her whim?>>58698894I love Cleffa but I also really wish they made it more likely to encounter it in a Johto playthrough. A Dunsparce-like rare encounter in Dark Cave would have been perfect. Early Clefairy is amazing in any game
>>58696574She looks female only
>>58714291cute!
>>58696574toss up with Togepi and Clef
>>58718890aww...
>>58710842Cute
>>58718890he will one day have sex with that budew after it evolves into roserade.not so cute now, is it?
takes forever to evolve
>>58720695Why wait so long? Everstone engagement necklace
>>58714335>50.2% maleOh no...
>>58725534So pretty
>>58720695HE WILL NOT
>>58696574Cleffa, Elekid and Budew are my favourite Baby Pokemon, Mantyke’s also cool just cause it builds on Mantine and Remoraid’s symbiosis. I do wish they’d do more with that especially given stuff like Dondozo and Tatsugiri
>>58696574>I sheYou will never.
>>58736273aww...
>>58698894Cleffa is basically just kirby with cat ears
>>58741438
>>58741459Makes you wonder why Sakurai almost added Clef in
>>58742005
>>58696574I like Togepi more
>>58696574Cleffa and Elekid are up there as well, but Budew is the bonafide best babypoke for me. Such an adorable little cutie.
>>58743447
>>58696574Is she my favorite? No. Smash and just liking Pikachu made me like baby Pikachu the most.Does she best encapsulate what a baby should be? Yes.Unique design but still clearly tied to its evolution. Not just Roselia but small like most babiesIntroduced to allow capturing a Pokemon that'd overpower early game earlier. No needing to wait until you already have the stronger version. This isn't really possible these days with you just being able to catch whatever wheneverStill unfortunately has the problem of learning zero moves past level 20 like most babies, so she doesn't escape all the baby pitfalls. If you raise happiness slow or just prefer using Budew because you like her more you're fucked without heavy TM investment
>>58745526cool art
Maybe I'm in the minority here but I think Sinnoh's additions to Roselia ruined her.
>>58746841Totally agree that Roserade shits all over Roselia, but Budew is a cute addition.Just axe Roserade, then buff both Budew and Roselia a little and they’ll be a perfectly serviceable two stage line
>>58746841Budew is the best part of the line so nah
>>58741438>>58742005>>58743447>>58745333I could spend all day watching Budew play around
>>58746871I love both Budew and Roserade. Though Roselia is still the best of the line
>>58696644snack time!
>>58759518Cute!!
>>58755740that's a whole lotta spaghetti for such a lil' fella!
>>58696644did you just photoshop a croissaint on there, or is that what the model actually looks like in-game?
>>58764566uhh is he okay
>>58696574It's Petilil
>>58757146someone's cozy :)
>>58764566that's not how you play dumbass
>>58696574Always forget that Budew is a baby Pokémon
>>58772881so pretty...
its Mantyke
>>58772008That’s because it’s actually been well implemented, most babies tend to not be found in the wild but Budew is an exception.
>>58714587>Didn't this adorable little fucker warp the TCG to her whim?Yes, it has a free attack that turned off item cards (which is like 70% of your deck) so it's incredibly meta warping >>58696574It's evil!
>>58696574NO, I HATE ITCHY POLLEN!but i can't stay mad at that face. cute...
>>58781092worth it for this cutie
>>58780848looks comfy!
>>58769418Cute!
>>58789638comfy
>>58792746he chilly
>>58795774cozy!
>>58782214Perfect fit
>>58803378cute!
>>58808869round
I think this thread's longevity has proven that Budew is definitely the best
>>58810902All it took was necro bumping it with a new image in your folder every eight hours or so for a whole month
>>58813064'v`
>>58699076Because of the anime I always thought Noctowls were yellow instead of brown.
>>58821789Trying to emulate the most powerful Pokemon in existence
>>58776930Gee, I wonder who could be behind this post
