Quoted By:
I'll start. Sticking to Johtomons here
>Furret - Normal/Dark
Plays on its old dex entry mentioning it collects bones in its den. Becomes hyper aggressive with Wolverine line bone claws
>Spinarak & Ariados - Bug/Ghost
Flourishing in cities where they became some of the only major predators. Picked up Ghost typing as a result of moving into alleys and becoming "stalkerish" hunters. Resemble spiny orb weavers with a skull-like face on abdomen
>Ledian/Ledyba - Bug/Fighting
One of the royal families took them on as their symbol and made it popular for aristocrats to collect, breed and battle them. They became a status symbol as a result. Design inverses colors, similar to Pepper Moths story (black with red spots)
>Granbull - Fairy/Fighting
Similar to Ledyba, Snubbull were bred for fighting, turning them into a more vicious breed upon evolving.
>Wobuffet - Psychic/Rock
Used as a training dummy by knights for generation, toughening up its resilience and literally toughening up its skin. Gains Bide as one of its new moves.
>Shuckle - Bug/Poison
Human settlements have displaced a lot of wild Pokemon, so Shuckle evolved into a more natural state rather than a pacifistic one. Shell is now covered in spines and their design resembles a Spiny from Mario.
>Chikorita line - pure Grass until Meganium, then Grass/Fairy
Influence by magic of the region. First two stages have slight visual differences, like a white petal attached to their leaf. Meganium looks more "enchanted" and fey like.
>Cyndaquil line - pure Fire until Typhlosion, then Fire/Electric
Being in an industrious region where Pokemon were put into hard labor during the Industrial Revolution pushed this line to become more powerful, turning them into a literal volcanic storm (hence the Electric typing)
>Totodile line - pure Water until Feraligatr, then Water/Steel
Emulating the chivalrous knights, it takes on an armored appearance upon evolving. It has a more calm disposition, but its actually a lot tougher.
