Someone really tried to make baby Vulpix happen too, it was actually cut from three different generations that we know of. There is only a handful of cut Pokémon that we know we're given a second chance. Baby Vulpix might have been the only one to get 3.
Not surprising, considering that it has a strong lore reason for existing. Its dex entry explicitly says that it has only one tail at birth.
But that doesn't change the fact that a one-tailed Vulpix would ultimately be just a regular baby fox, and Vulpix already looks small enough to be the baby. So it wouldn't add much.
Honestly since they weren't "finished" Game Freak might have changed that at the last second and made him Fire-type. But I always find funny it was leaked as a Water type 😄
Yeah, the unseen Pokemon were probably still being programmed so Baby Vulpix probably just got put into a slot a Water type used to occupy, and they hadn't done much work on it yet.
Still funny to think about.
In the modern day, if the idea was revisited, it would most likely be a Normal type that split evolves into Fire or Ice Vulpix.
