>>35040138A lot of Gen 5 pokemon WERE supposed to be evolutions of previous mons (Pachisiru would have evolved into Emolga, Tauros was supposed to evolve in Buffolant, Luvdisc into Alomomola, etc.), but in the end someone at GF wanted the Gen 5 mons to be their own separate entities. Whether you think that works or not is up to you.
