>>31755454Excadrill and Sandslash are more similar, yes, but I was acknowledging that they are both moles.
Right.
Right again.
You could say the same for any crustacean, like crawdaunt
Ducklett and Farfetch'd look similar, but Farfetch'd lacks an evolution.
Gothorita and Jynx are both humanoid pokemon based on real life human culture. Also, neither Gothorita nor Reuniclus evolve via trading, like Alakazam does.
Chandelure does not evolve via trading, like Gengar does.
Almost every gen introduces new fossils, also, Nautiluses and turtles, Pterosauriade and Archaeopterix are wildly different.
You're right about Vanilluxe being the "Let's have it evolve by mashing a couple together" of gen 5
Escavalier/Accelgor and Pinsir/scyther seems fair enough of a comparison, though I'd add the attempted traits of pokemon mixing up while trading gen 1 had sometimes too. For example, Machoke has a reptilian head, and one pair of arms, while Graveler has two pairs of arms and a spread crest. Machamp has the spread crest and two pairs of arms of Graveler, while Golem has one pair of arms and a reptilian head.
I don't see Bisharp being similar to anything which came before it.
Heatmor seems fair enough
I don't see any paralells between Durant and Scizor aside from the bug/steel typing.
How is Haxorus similar to that line at all?
New legendaries and mythical pokemon are added every single gen, though I guess Mewtwo and Genesect both being created by humans is fair enough.
Chespin is there because of sloppy editing.
