Genetic Algorithim - f-count looks higher than expected

Hello.

Using GA to solve a unconstrained function, shouldn't the f-count be lower than the pop size for each generation?

For example: pop_size = 10, so for the initial pop f-count=10, then for generation 1 f-count = 20 and so on, doing 10 evaluations for each generation, like the figure below:

.

But as a GA, as we can see below, from the documentation

.

.

if i have, for example 1 elite child, should this elite just be copied to the next generation, resulting in 9 f-counts instead of 10, for each generation?

Regards.
