>>54610035>This is an undeniable fact, because growth and evolution are core to the entire series.Pokemon growing stronger and evolving into stronger species is a core fact about the series. Little to do with age since they don't suddenly develop health problems and die off past their level 70s. Breeding isn't locked behind levels or evolution either. Unless it's deliberately classified as a "baby" form, which actually are immature. Your fanfic cope here is that all other Pokémon work like Happiny, Magby and etc because you get upset at people liking other fictional creature designs but don't want to admit your own subjective butthurt. So you cover it up by virtue signalling.
>(in-game by becoming a stronger trainer by winning badges and from a meta standpoint, it's a reference to kids growing to adulthood - gen 1 was described as a coming of age story by Tajiri). This is a bunch of nothing. Can you supply the actual quote so we can see how it applies to Pokémon aging/maturity.
>Evolution in the games is also more akin to metamorphosis that insects undergo than evolution (there's no mutation in a gene or protein activated at just the right moment to trigger a reaction), which again is larval stage creatures growing and maturing into adult insects. Evolution is Evolution, they are classified as different species. Which is why a Fennec Fox can turn into a Witch Creature. You're also expecting magical creatures to work like literal animals. Which is ironic since you moralfag while waifuing one.
IRL There are also animals that hold onto prior forms like Axolotls while still being mature and capable of continuing their species. Again, how does this have to do with maturity and age?
>By the very definition of the words used, they're immature beings. Sorry that triggers you.As this anon pointed out,
>>54595188 You've been seething and virtue signalling about made up creatures the entire thread.
