Summary

  • Evolutions are a key part of any Pokémon game, though players of the smash-hit Pokémon TCG Pocket have noticed that not every Pokémon has their “baby” version.
  • Cards like Roselia don't need a Budew first, while Lucario does need Riolu.
  • There's a variety of reasons why this might be the case, including the separate generations some of these cards were released in, plus how Pokémon has traditionally classified its line of “baby” creatures.

As a franchise, Pokémon is just as much about completing the Pokédex and taking down Gym Leaders as it is evolving 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokémon from one form to another. After all, you𒁏 don't get to Charizard without ༒first having a Charmeleon and, before that, having Charmander.

That much is true for the official 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokémon Trading Card Game, as well as the smash-hit mobile iteration, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokémon TCG Pocket. In other words, you can't just up and play Blastoise willy-nilly after you pull him. Yet, somehow you're able to play Roselia without first having a Budew or Pikachu without Pichu, leaving TCG Pocket fans wondering one simple question: “What the heck happened to🐬 all the baby forms?”

, fans discussed 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the various “baby” forms of Pokémon that simply aren't necessary ꦇin the mobಞile game or don't exist altogether.

For example, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:in the current Space-Time Smack🌳down se🐠t, Budew isn't a necessary requirement for playing Roselia. Similarly, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:in Genetic Apex, it isn't requi𓄧red to play a Pichu before using Pikachu EX. Meanwhil꧂e, you need a Riolu before playing Lucario.

“Yeah, i🐓t blows!” . “Elekid and Munchl🦩ax (are) two of my faves, and they get shafted all the time.”

As much as it sucks not seeing the likes of Magby and Munchlax in the game, there could be a reason for that. 💞 that can evolve into traditional Pokémon, but also aren't necessarily a requirement.

Whatev♌er the reason may be, it's clear their absence is being felt by hardcore fans. Still, given that TCG Pocket isn't going anywhere anytime soon, it's likely that it won't be long before all those “baby” versions get their due in the spotlight.
