>>48985280People keep complaining about this ‘Catch 15 of the same Pokemon’ thing, but isn’t this the kind of shit actual animal researchers need to do? Study multiple members of the same species in order to determine what is and isn’t normal? You can’t possibly expect to have all of the information you need from a single member of the species.
Hell, we already know for a fact that there are size differences among same species in this game, and Shinx’s Pokedex entry proves that their individual heights and weights are actually recorded into the Pokedex, or at least they are if they break the record for the maximum or minimum size.
