>>38744936The point of Drowzee is that its a baku who eats dreams and then it evolves into a hypnotist that doesn't even look like a Baku.The point of Graveler is that its a monster made of rock and then it evolves into a lizard covered in rocks. The point of Phanpy is that its an elephant who uses its ears as fans and then it evolves into a fucking tire. Who fucking cares, Gen 1 and 2 did this all the time because Pokemon didn't have to have some "deeper meaning" where their ideas were so super special and precious that you weren't allowed to build on them.
Nowadays we have shit like Komala, it's a Koala thats in a Coma and it fights in its sleep and uses a log as a pillow. Can we build on that? Like give it an evolution thats a bigger koala and uses the log as a drum or a weapon while its sleeping? Nope, we're done with the concept, print it. Drampa is an old man dragon. Can we build on that concept by making a baby dragon that evolves into an adult dragon and then Drampa? Nope, we're done with the concept, print it. It's so fucking boring.
