I think I've finally connected all the dots
>gen 2 beta designs purposefully leaked/revealed
>people love them, wish that they were real and make tons of fan art
>one of the designs was a scrapped Ditto evolution
>the evolution method was based on trading it while holding the Metal Powder item
>Nutto resembles Ditto with a notable metallic appearance
>Nutto turns back into a regular Ditto in Pokemon Go because Pokemon Go only has pokemon up to generation 3, with the logic that Ditto hasn't evolved yet
>this is similar to how friendship-based evolution was automatically cancelled in FRLG before you could defeat the Elite 4 and gain access to the National Dex
>Gen 8 will possibly be based on Gen 2's scrapped evolutions being reimagined into new pokemon along with other extras
inb4 Youtuber trash steals this/claims they thought of it first :^)
