Merchandise.

Little cup, finding them earlier in game

They exist to give us release from the possibility of a Blissey evo happening and people start using Eviolite Blissey

>>33327119
Imagine Little Cup (Not the Smogon one, the official one), but with Chansey instead of Happiny

Baby Pokemon also get attacks that their evolutions often can't and in the wild, have 3 IVs guaranteed (at least in gen 6)

Dumb broads and kids love cute things, hence more plushes will be sold.

>availability early on
>it was a gimmick early on to promote breeding
>they needed a solid number to make 250 way back when
>Little cup is a thing
>they want to make as many things as possible three stages

It's slightly annoying from a breeding perspective.

Not that most people here would know.

>>33327119
Not really anymore, we've not had a pre-evo since gen4 and most "babies" are catchable in the wild these days

Is that true? But Lucario is a Stage 1 in the tcg, there never was a baby Riolu there.

First evolved form in the Undiscovered Egg Group and evolves by Happiness like a lot of other baby pokemon.
