>>50051539>>50049253the weapons theme is still consistent
the "prehistoric animals" title was a bit of a misnomer, but the idea was extinct species of animals used as inspiration, primarily like dinosaur era, which was consistent until Gen 7 where they went with an animal that went extinct in human times; rillaboom is based off there having been apes in europe way back in the past, but are obviously no longer to be found there
Gen 1 "genetics" doesn't make sense to me
however, Gen 2's "ancient creatures" goes something like this: obviously meganium is a brachiosaur, an extinct dino; feraligatr is based on species which have existed pretty much unchanged from the time when dinosaurs existed; and typhlosion is a reference to the current scientific theory that the first mammals to evolve in genetic history were "tiny shrew like creatures"
"unique evolution" for Gen 3 also makes no sense to me
