>>54625357>Pokemon being animal replacementsHow does that even make sense though
There's all sorts of talk of pokemon coming from space in the earlier canon
Also the fact that Mew was considered the "progenitor" of all pokemon, how could it be that literally no animals existed before Mew?
>Because it can use all kinds of moves, many scientists believe Mew to be the ancestor of Pokémon. So what, there was JUST humans, and then pokemon? Literally no animals existing? Or all animals are descended from Mew?
The expanded pokelore is just a mess of people following different canons
