>>47696257>sentientYou... you mean sapient, which in most media, is the case... right? Only the games suggest that Pokemon aren't actually sapient, only sentient. Despite all of this, there has to have been SOME evolutionary advantage so that ALL of them could make that cocoon afterwards.
If they can process the environment around them and make decisions based on that, that's sentience.
Also, Skitty has nothing on the kiwi.
