>>12092435Fixed.
>>12092436The thing is, the pokedex refutes you. If the pokedex didn't explicitly call Anorith a shrimp, then I would probably change it.
In this case, arguments put forth by the pokedex are considered superior to the arguments from a pokemon's real life counterpart.
The only reason why archen was split off was because the pokedex had no argument against its real world counterpart, thus the real world counterpart argument is valid.
Basically, when building this phylogeny chart, Pokedex > Real Life
>>12092446Arceus is outside the phylogenic chart since he didn't 'evolve'.
Go on, try placing God on the phylogeny charts.
Moreover, pokemon directly created by arceus or humans are outside the phylogeny chart. (Mewtwo is in there because he is genetically the descendant of Mew. Castform and Porygon would be outside it because they're 'artificial' pokemon.)
>>12092451Bugs already have one. I'll put amphibians there, although I don't know which would be considered the 'first' amphibian.
>>12092452Sorry, that's only there for now. I'll lengthen its line once I complete the rest of the chart.
