These are just the type of heartwarming stories i was looking for, thanks everyone for sharing!
What was your very first baby Pokémon?
My first interaction with Johto was in HGSS, so I guess that means the Wynaut egg from Lavaridge Town in RSE is probably the first baby Pokemon I ever saw.
I don't recall ever doing anything with it tbh. I just evolved it into Wobuffet for the Dex entry and then boxed it.
The first baby Pokemon that I actually used were from the eggs for Happiny and Riolu in DP.
Child me didn't bother with breeding all that much =P
I did check out the Fakemon Contest when I was deciding to participate either in it or the TCG Card contest, but I don't think I checked back in to see what people made.
Wynaut is pretty cute, but i can see why you might not have used it often, since it's gifted mid-game in rse, and it would be a little more time-consuming to hatch and catch up a lvl 5 baby pokemon to the rest of your team, and while Wynaut/Wobufett can be an amusing troll, you have to use it in a very specific way, so more of a pokemon for a challenge run. Your Wynaut got to hatch though and come into the world, and grow up to be a wobbufet, and feature in the pokedex, so still nice.
Happiny and Riolu are some of the loveliest baby pokemon out there, both of them grow up to be such great pokemon, so awesome choices. I think it's adorable the idea of happiny holding a stone to imitate the egg that her big sisters Chansey and Blissey have. I'll never forget traveling with Riley in Platinum, and all those double battles with his Lucario and the riolu egg, though i probably got the most use out of Riolu in BW2.
One of the prompts for the Fakemon contest was to design a branch evolution, and a user here named Panda made one for chingling that was a psychic and normal dual type, Dhaemecho. Chingling would become if it ko.ed a ghost type. It was this giant, peaceful-looking, benevolent bell kept in pagodas because it has a chime that frightens away evil spirits, and instills calm in others. It was drawn with this flowing purple ribbon-like tails said to suck away monsters.

It was Mantyke got on my way to the Sinnoh League. My second one was Pichu. Then it was Riolu. I got the other ones with time, but I think the next one was Wynout from the egg as well.
Aww, mantyke is a cutie. This is quite a strong pokemon also for a baby the way riolu is. I mean mantyke's special defense is higher than many fully evolved pokemon. I also like how the evolutionary mechanic is a reference to it's lore that the happy-go-lucky Mantine lets remoraid hitch a ride on it's fins and eat it's leftovers. I think remoraid helping it reach it's full potential is awesome because lt also means that both pokemon benefit from the relationship, and that's something that can happen in nature too, especially with marinelife like clownfish and anemones, pistol shrimp and gobi fish or coral and algae.
Pichu might be the cutest stage of all in a line that is super-appealing at all stages. Pichu also brings back some warm memories for me of playing his power plant mini game for Stadium 2 all those years ago when i was pint-sized, and also the Pikachu and Pichu short that comes with the 3rd pokemon movie, Spell of the Unown. Did i mention that i love riolu? I think this line has always been such a cool concept as these altruistic dog knights who can communicate telepathically with through their aura, and again quite useable in battle, even as a baby. I always name my riolu after my real life pets.
It looks like for quite a few of us the Wynut egg is one of our first baby pokemon, i love that because it means that Hoenn, my favorite region, was also part of the childhood experience of most of us here :) i think this waa my second baby egg hatched.
I'd love to join!
What was your very first baby Pokémon?
Budew, who also happens to be my favourite baby Pokémon. I caught it early on in my very first Pokémon game, Pokémon Pearl. It's just the cutest thing in the whole world, I used to have a plushie of Budew when I was younger. It's just such an adorable Pokémon and I love its evolutionary family as well, with Roserade easily making my top ten favourite Pokémon.
Welcome to the club Beauty Trainer Lina! So happy to have you. I have always really liked the Roserade line in all of it's stages too. I don't get to use it as much as i would like in game because i usually choose the grass starters, but yes Budew sure is cute, just as Roselia is beautiful and Roserade is both cool and strong. Very good choice. As a shiny hunter i also love the addition of the purple petals for this evolutionary family when they shine. The budew plushie sounds precious, and it's got me thinking about a possible baby pokemon photo shoot as a future club event. I think my Munchlax would be interested in posing.
Let me put your name on our list of members. More questions coming, so stay tuned!
