>we got shitty and unnecessary baby pokemon like Magby, Igglybuff, Cleffa, etc instead ofnt of these great designs
What the fuck were they thinking? You don't even use any of those shitty baby pokemons in any game, not just gen 2 but neither gen 3 or anything beyond it.

>igglybuff
>literally jugglypuffs are handed to you at level 4 at the geodude route when you start the game in gen 2
>jigglypuffs appear midgame so a igglypuff at the early game would have been acceptable but no, better make it useless dex filler.

>Magby
>if you somehow get it with the daycare egg it's a waste because 30 minutes later you get Magmars for free in the burned tower unlike Elekid and Smoochum that at least appear later in game and you could justify them

>Cleffa and Pichu are completely inaccessible in gen 2 and gen 3 until you catch their evolved forms, defeating any purpose to ever use them.

It's like they didn't want us to use the shitty baby Pokémon at all, they are not just unobtainable or pointless but they are hindered by the retarded friendship mechanic too which makes just catching their evolved forms more reasonable.

The babies should have just been the first forms you find in the wild in gen 2 with the 2nd forms being rare encounters. Or had an npc let you pick one.

And they put Pichu in Meele as if anyone that played gsc ever used one

>>12270442
Baby pokemon seem like a mistake until you realize that the entire reason they were created was to sell merch
>>
>>12270459
So girls ruining everything as usual

>>12270453
They only put in Pichu cuz of the Entei movie.
Easy promotion for something at the last minute.
>>
>>12270442
OP is being purposefully misleading and omitting the fact that they had even more babies they cut before the final game.
Also, posting on the wrong board. >>>/vp/

Magmar is only found on Mt. Silver in Crystal.

>Cleffa and Pichu are completely inaccessible in gen 2 and gen 3 until you catch their evolved forms
And in Gen2, they're both only in Kanto.

They served as easy-to-design dex filler and a way to sell more plush dolls.
>>
>>12270442
They were there to promote the breeding mechanic
Back then not every mon needed to be viable for battles, they could have other purposes.

Pokemon stadium 2 introduced little cup though

>>12270648
Anon isn't claiming that GF should only have created evos for weak mons but rather that if they were going to introduced baby forms they may as well be for pokemon that are obtained late or that feel like the adult form.

I'll take baby pokemon over anthropomorphic female-coded Pokemon that have invaded the games any day. Horny men ruined Pokemon way worse than women.
>>
>>12270879
But the anthropomorphic male-coded are okay

>>12270442
>Anchor Shark
>Fire Seal
>Double Ghost
We've still never got anything like this, and they're all pretty cool.
