>>42275617poor anon. you're being too narrowminded
aight let's have a chat
you seem to be missing two major aspects of the world of pokemon
A) pokemon can evolve into completely different looking pokemon
for example, many bug mons have a three-stage larvae, pupa, adult evolution line. a caterpillar is very different looking from a butterfly but this works because
>they are the same animal in real lifeif we go a bit further down the crazy evos rabbithole, we see trumbeak and toucannon
here we see a woodpecker evolve into a toucan. as i'm sure you know bc you're so smart, anon, woodpeckers do not grow up to be toucans. this evolution happens bc
>woopeckers and toucans are related (same order)this is why fennekin is the dog. it's not exactly a puppy or whatever but foxes and dogs are both in the family Canidae
anyways ,very deep in the rabbithole we find remoraid and octillery. a fish evolves into a mollusk. this makes no logical sense, right, anon. you would be correct. this evolution happens because
>gamefreak said so. also it loosely follows an artillery patternso as you see, we are not saying a rat is a badger, silly anon. but it is entirely possible that a rat could evolve into a badger. stranger things have happened
