Single post in Sprite Discovery Discussion

Keep in mind that art staff ALSO did furfrou this season too which is why there were two single stage evos this time. It was a LOT of work. 16 base sprites x8 (recolors and icons) +4 (eggs). That's a loooot of sprites. 132 to be exact. Also, keep in mind that the exclusive dex is just starting - there's room for way more! It might seem 'unbalanced' right now, but it'll flesh out over time. There are a LOT of canon regions that have way more than 7 pokemon who don't evolve -- Hoenn for example. Not including legendaries, they have 13 Pokémon who do not evolve. Alola has 14. In regards to the starters thing, it's been said from the very beginning that they were. Their egg descriptions share the identifier of all starter eggs. And Gragon is our pseudo.
