Doduo’s pre-evolved form actually has an explanation for the heads. Apparently the head that is fed less retracts back inside as a doduo and then comes back out as the angriest head of the Dodrio. It’s silly but I love that design so I would accept it 😂

[@Princess-Daisy]

Even tho I understand baby Pokémon are pretty much useless for the most part, I just like them. Especially if it’s an excuse to shoehorn in a more powerful evolutionary line in early. Ex. If Lapras for whatever reason got a baby form, maybe you can get it early on by rare encounter with fishing rod. Then you can raise that Pokémon and have it with you for most of the game causing a closer bond and being able to monitor its move set more closely. I also like baby Pokémon for design reasons and also because they can make a line feel more complete. Again I understand baby Pokémon don’t reslly need to exist in a lot of scenarios, but that’s just how i feel. I don’t mind a lot of the beta baby forms because they’re good designs and being more attention to more unpopular lines. Some are pretty bad but a lot are super cute and I love them. I do understand a lot were unneeded tho :(

[@kittygirlrachel]

Can do what I tried to do once, and beat a pokemon game with only baby pokemon.

[@bananabroshsid8234]

yeah, chingling, igglybuff, cleffa, and azurill have no need to exist, however your concept is really interesting, but there are drawbacks. for example, one of my favorite mons is lucario, and I've been trying to find a riolu in legends arceus for so long. but say I got it. I still need to grind tons of friendship on it to evolve. people like me don't have time to grind all day long, tho, so to get lucario, I would need to spend an unnecessary amount of time to just evolve it, let alone catching it up to my team. that being said, I still think more baby pokemon will be good for pokemon in the high 400s or low 500s (like scyther or pinsir, or some mon in the later gens) but not locked behind a friendship wall

[@beartheconfused6798]

@@bananabroshsid8234 I remember in let’s go pikachu (I hate evee) I realized I wasn’t strong enough to catch a Garydose (said that wrong I’m 100% sure) So I looked up where to find a majikarp I found it and he was LEVEL 5!?

I think my argument against preevolutions being harmful to the line is with how they could alter the stats to make it a smoother transition.

Pupitar is just growing a shell and Tyranitar doesn't grow the shell anymore so it breaks and a Tyranitar that just evolved in the anime should have Pupitar shell pieces all over the body randomly. So Pupitar has arms but it's not visible. That's how Pupitar is more of an awkward stage than a pupa stage of the metamorphosis. And Larvitar is just a tiny Tyranitar with less spikes.

Baby pokemons aren't just about their base stats. What's more important is the design and the relationship between the pokemon and the baby. and I need baby grimer right now. It's adorable.

[@bananabroshsid8234]

I mean yeah but when you think about it some baby pokemon have no reason to exist in a more logical manner. sure they're cute, but if, say, all two-stage non-legendary lines got a baby form, most of those would end up too much like their evolved form. for example the beta ponyta that got cut was, indeed, a ponyta with less fire. also think about cleffa and azurill, same situation, looks to similar. another minor problem is that if baby pokemon are added to existing lines, some pokemon would be increasingly harder to get. I heard in some games the only way to get a roselia (other than trading) is by friendship evolving budew, so it every baby needed friendship to evolve, it would be likely many pokemon would be locked behind a friendship wall. that being said, I do see the reason for some other baby forms to exist, maybe some the later gens.

I have this idea to give Baby Doduo (Keewee) two forms, with two and three heads respectively, randomly determined upon hatching. Both forms evolve into Doduo, but when the three-headed form evolves and the player has both a free slot and a Poké Ball in their inventory; just like with Shedinja, a new Pokémon appears on their team: Dosolo, which is the kiwi beta Pokémon with a typing of Ghost/Flying.

Huh, I think I understand the thought process behind baby pokemon now that I realize they were planning on making a ton of them. The idea was probably created when they realized they were going to introduce pokemon breeding, which made them think, 'oh, people will love this, maybe it would be really cute to have a bunch of baby forms that looks like they were just hatched out of an egg'. Then they realized slowly that creating a new baby pokemon for every single pokemon line just wasn't viable, and it wasn't a great mechanic anyway. So they scaled it back but kept some of the ones they worked on, never quite abandoning the idea altogether.

Be honest I wish baby meowth was in the game its adorable.

I love baby pokemon. Baby Tangela is by far my favorite, but I would have really liked to see baby Vulpix since the one-tail design is canon in the pokemon mangas. I like the baby paras design, but I think it should just be Paras, same with baby Doduo, it's fun because Dodriou has three heads anyway and I find it weird when final evolution pokemon grow a new head.

6:56 Ok, I always loved Bayleef. Like, a lot. I don’t know why, I just do. But seeing this comparison, and seeing what Bayleef could’ve been makes me love the modern one even more.

[@matthewkuscienko4616]

I agree, the beta version is just..... extremely out of place. This is even more so when you realize that the other stages in it's evolutionary line are unchanged. ......I also have something of a soft spot for it because I used it as my starter the first time I played through a gen2 game as a kid. Not really sure why I went with it, but I did; it was the first Pokemon I raised all the way to level 100 on my own, too!

Why does all of the early sprites of the bulbasaur line look like they are in severe pain.

If Beta Ivysaur was Ivysaur’s current design, The Bulbasaur line would’ve been replaced by the Rowlet line as my favorite Pokémon evolutionary line.

The beta Doduo line could represent the fact that mother birds usually will care for the runt less then the other two baby birds, so it's rare that the runt will survive, but if it survives to become an adult, they can become bigger and stronger than they were as the runt

[@Rxzor_Live]

6:09 Micheal: I just have one question for this creature Me: *dies when the next part plays*

[@generalgrievous9379]

I think baby doduo has three heads and then a two, is in reference to baby birds pushing the their siblings out of the nest. Sending their siblings to death, all to make them receive more food. Kinda dark if what I believe is true. But hey this is the generation dark was added lmao.

Beta Hitmontop also bothers me that the "feet" would be perpetually upside down if it wasn't "i spin upside down" kind of idea Porygon is meant to be a bird? The baby mons only makes sense to me if they were gonna buff their now "second" stage but they didn't for some of them.. and some were already strong enough so ya baby makes sense..

They are actually really cute but probably super useless. It could be cute if you just don't battle with them and just carry the babies instead of eggs. I mean how can a cat lay eggs anyway?

@@a_sapphic_girl4566 Haha, though it would be interesting if they added a second part of hatching the eggs. At least in the Anime. It could be cute. Baby Lugia was adorable.

Imagine, all three baby doduos, living their life and then are caught by a trainer, one gets its heat stuck up its butt and the other two evolve, and then it gets its head out of its butt and the evolve again. Wow.
