>>54261721Again, we have actual examples of ancient Pokemon evolving, and they're much closer to life than "dino mushroom turns into a normal mushroom".
>>Reputed to be the ancestor of most turtle Pokémon, it lived in warm seas approximately a hundred million years ago.>>Said to be an ancestor of bird Pokémon, they were unable to fly and moved about by hopping from one branch to another.You're trying to argue that the difference between ancient Paradox and modern Paradoxes can be explained by the Pokemon gradually adapting over however many millions of years, but the problem is actual ancient Pokemon refute this on account of being far different from anything in modern times on top of being based off the actual things that lived in prehistory.
Meanwhile Paradox Pokemon are LITERALLY just what if Donphan was a dinosaur. What if Raikou was a dinosaur. What if Misdreavus was a dinosaur, and expecting us to believe at face value that they all came from a "time machine" run by a genuine tabloid reading lunatic using magic crystals from space.
I also want to add that regionals prove that Pokemon can adapt stupidly fast to their environment considering the Hisuian starters were Pokemon that weren't even born in Hisui but still turn into new forms anyway, but this is neither here nor there.
