>>20028951It's up to Game Freak to decide the core concept of a pokemon though. I mean what if they decided that Golem is actually a parasitic lizard that had been incubating in your rock bro, and evolving it caused it to burst apart, then said parasitic lizard collects the bits and pices of your rockbro's corpse to use as patchwork protective armor?
And mega evolving allows its flesh to harden enough that it leaves the confines of its patchwork rock corpse armor for some agile smashing action?
