>>27952694Here's a few more miscellaneous pokemon head canons:
-The Safari Zone
>The Safari Zone is not "entirely" a nature reserve but something more akin to a very large public pokemon-'game' ranch.>The Safari Zone exists so that the people of Kanto can more easily breed and catch rare, foreign or exotic pokemon not native or no longer available in the heavily urbanized Kanto.*>Tauros, Rhyhorn, Dratini, Tauros and even Lickitung are not even native to the Kanto region, but brought from the outside. >Tangela and Exeggcute were introduced via the Sevii Islands and Alola respectfully. -Kanto: The Armpit of the Pokemon World.
>Kanto is the most polluted, dirtiest, most developed and urbanized region so far.>The Urban development in Kanto has lead to the local extirpation of many native pokemon species and the spread of many urban-loving pokemon.-Pokemon Migration & Movement
>Swarms are Pokemon Migrations; to breed & lay eggs, to evolve in privacy to arrive when certain foods rippen or to avoid a certain season. >Snorlax and Sudowoodo are all non-native Pokemon to the "first" regions we encountered them in: with both Snorlax and Sudowood being native to the mountainous sinnoh region. Snorlax specifically wanders far and wide across the entire continent in search of food, but always return to Sinnoh to mate and lay their eggs. -Variants
>Variants have ALWAYS been around: both Arbok, Butterfree & Vivillion being the most explicit example as their patterning varies depending on the region their native to. >The Sevii Islands (much like Alola) are filled with all sorts of Pokemon that have more distinct or visually unique variations.
