>they're not evolutionsMy point. It would be like revealing that Pokemon didn't evolve in Gen 6, and instead you could fuse them together to get Blazicariopikatwo with MegaHonedge in Super Saber forme holding BlackKaminaGlasses.
It would be throwing everything that made that series what it was under the bus for the sole purpose of appealing to weeaboo tweenagers' OCs.
