>>35092015Even if I put aside the real animal inspiration and focus on what the creatures are as a concept, it just doesn't work. I could accept a classification that put things like, say, nidoking/queen and stantler in the same category; it'd be weird, but I could believe they're related by some old ass ancestry.
But then you get shit that's just too much of a stretch:
>Archeops can breed with wimpod>Primarina, octillery and masquerain can breed>Ekans can breed with persianAnd so on. Fortunately, pokemon doesn't need an actual taxonomic system, because it would be fucked.
