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
