>>28534970>>28535018I think I get it now, but I'd be a bit careful about considering what's 'functionally' a different pokemon. The biggest example would be Mega evolutions as they're quite functionally different than their base forms.
And what about Sheer Force Darmanitan compared to Zen Mode Darmanitan? They function differently, but does that count?
Basically there's no real point arguing this unless you want to get into semantics.
Personally I see Nidoran male and female as one mon, but until GF retcons it that's not the case.
