On the topic of Banette, it always confused me how the lore says they start off as abandoned dolls, but the games show that they evolve from Shuppet. How does that work? Shuppet is just some Pokemon, not an abandoned doll.
Maybe some Banette start off as dolls, which then come to life and transform into Banette, while the rest evolve from Shuppet naturally?
