>>57030186Alright, fine, if you really want to go down that route, let's do it.
So even though Beedrill are hyper aggressive, and there aren't any subspecies, let's say another Bug like Ledyba fill that role instead.
Who makes honey in Pokémon world? Does it even exist? Do Beedrills or Ledyba have queens and hives or do they just do the same thing by magic?
How about all the microorganisms that are essential for the ecosystem; are they undiscovered Pokémon, too?
How about fucking TREES? Why are plants a separate species from Pokémon, but animals aren't? Grass Pokémon don't replace trees and foliage, why is that?
On the topic of the ecosystem, allow me to introduce you to:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Pests_campaignMao's Four Pests Campaign
In Maoist China, Mao Zedong had the brilliant idea of telling everyone in China to bang pots and pans until every sparrow died of exhaustion because they couldn't sleep.
After that, with no natural predator, crop-eating insects ran roughshod over the farms, meaning LESS food for people and causing severe famine and mass deaths.
The ecosystem is in a delicate balance and this serves as an example of man's hubris.
You cannot simply pluck an animal out of its environmental role and replace it with a cartoon version that lives only for battle. It doesn't make sense.
