>>40073358I think that Wailord thing is a bit of a stretch but it did lead me to do a quick google search on the topic and got this.
>The significance of why Wailord and Relicanth are needed might have something to do with the general theme of the Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald games; the relationship between land and the sea. Relicanth is based on the coelacanth, a creature that is considered to be closely related to the ancestors of all land-living vertebrates. Wailord is based on the whale, a creature whose ancestors once lived on land but have since evolved to live in the ocean.The Regis are phenomenal, why can't finding legendaries always be this involved?
