>>28748255This got me to thinking. The stuff below is extremely straw-graspy, read at your own risk
>Every pokemon has thirteen color chromosomes (The chances of a shiny appearing are 8192 to one, and 8192 is 2^13)>Also 30 chromosomes for IVs (2^5 = 32, the number of possible values any given IV can take, and there's six of them)>Three gender chromosomes (Gender ratios total up to eight, and 2^3 = 8)Total chromosomes: 46
...Wait.
46 chromosomes...
23 pairs of chromosomes...
Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes too...
holy shit
