>>43111607>>hypno into munnaShares no similarities besides a typing and a vague theme of sleep
>>rapidash into zebsrtikaLiterally not based on the same animal OR typing, what kind of mental gymnastics is this?
>>hitmonchan and hitmonlee into sake and throhThat's fair, forgot about that duo
>>zubat into woobatThe name is a play sure, but they're based on different types of bats and have a different typing. Are we supposed to never have another bat pokemon ever again because Kanto had one?
>muk and weezing into garbodorMuk I can see, although Swalot already did it too
>>voltorn into foongusIt was a new spin on the mimic thing (that isn't original to Pokemon to begin with) that was done in a totally original way
>>machop into timburr>>geodude into roggenrolaGod forbid we have a three stage fighting type ever again, that's LITERALLY Machamp
>>basculin only exists because they realized they needed a fish (golden and magikarp) pokémonCould be said of every single fish Pokemon from Gens 2-4 too, are we only allowed one fish Pokemon too?
Did you consider Miltank to be a Tauros knock-off? Or Gardevoir to Alakazam? Torkoal and Torterra are just Blastoise clones right? Gens 3 and 4 both had a two-stage normal-type cat Pokemon line, is that a cardinal sin too?
