>>47951797Considering pokemon "evolution" is more a metamorphosis than the real life thing, is it accurate to say a pokemon goes extinct if the conditions for the evolution dissapear but the pre-evo is still alive and well? Like if there are no more magnetic places for Magneton to evolve into Magnezone, does it mean Magnezone went extinct?
The axolotl for example is an animal that exists all its life as a larva, it can't become a full adult unless artificially stimulated. Does the adult stage of the axolotl count as extinct?
