Summary
- Fans want Gen 1 Pokemon like Doduo and Lapras to get baby forms for the sake of cuteness and nostalgia.
- Many players support fan-made baby Pokemon concepts, showing interest in potential new additions.
- Despite a lack of new baby Pokemon in recent games, upcoming titles like Pokemon Legends: Z-A may include new ones.
Pokemon fans want some Gen 1 Pokemon, such as Doduo, Lapras, and Onix, to receive baby forms in their evolution lines. Over the years, Pokemon has introduced over a thousand monsters to the Pokedex, but very few are baby Pokemon, despite their popularity among players.
There are certain qualifications that Pokemon must meet to be considered baby Pokemon, including being obtainable from breeding or being the lowest form on an evolution chain. But the most important, unwritten rule remains the same: baby Pokemon are always adorable. Because of their cute designs, baby Pokemon are fan-favorites and are often the subject of merchandise or fan art. However, in recent generations, the number of new baby Pokemon has decreased considerably, and some players find that early Pokemon deserve new baby forms.

A Reddit post by AutoGeneratedTitle shared a concept for a baby form for Doduo, which they named Doduno. The concept features a shorter version of the bird Pokemon with only one head and one leg. In the comments, many fans agreed that a new baby Pokemon would fit perfectly into Doduo’s evolution line. Although some argued that a better name could be Dosolo. In the comments, user TwentyFour7 shared a fan concept with baby forms for the Gen 1 creatures Lapras and Onix, named Lapi and Minix, respectively. Fans responded that they want more cute baby Pokemon for popular Gen 1 monsters like these. It’s not the first time players have shared fan concepts of baby Kanto Pokemon. One time, a fan created a baby form of Lickitung, while another created one for Vulpix.
Pokemon Fans Want Baby Forms for Doduo, Lapras, and More Early Pokemon
The comments also shared an adorable idea for a baby form of the Gen 3 Pokemon Tropius called Tropit. AutoGeneratedTitle’s post has over 570 upvotes, showing how Pokemon fans still want new baby forms in future games. There are only 19 baby Pokemon in total, with Toxel being the last one added in Pokemon Sword and Shield. Interestingly enough, there was a ten-year gap without a new baby form before Toxel. Players thought that the trend was over and that Pokemon Scarlet and Violet would add more pre-evos, but that wasn’t the case.
The Pokemon Company recently revealed that Pokemon Legends: Z-A is releasing on October 16. There is also Pokemon Presents event scheduled for July 22, and Pokemon fans can expect more details about the next game in the series. However, while Legends: Z-A is rumored to debut new Mega Evolutions, the addition of new baby Pokemon hasn’t been confirmed.
