  Great video! There are a few mistakes  (saying Linoone is from Kanto, Unovan Samurott being water/fighting, skipping over Hisuian Typhlosion) but a great video nonetheless. Here's my sub.

  Wugtrio =Convergent evolution where an entirely separate species can evolve to resemble other species because of the areas requiring an similar type of evolution to survive in those areas

  I find it very clever that they&apos;d start to delve into the realistic take on pokemon. Showing how geospatial spwciation can effect certain pokemon overtime is particularly clever since every region is a reference of different places, not every pokemon will stay the same.<br><br>Lets hope for some fossil ansestors of pokemon someday!

  I like regional forms, they&apos;re cool. (It&apos;s just like how in real life animals look different depending on where they live,like the fennec fox lives in the desert,artic fox live in the artic and cold places,etc.)

  Alolan Exeggutor more closely resembles a coconut tree or tropical palm tree. Its Dragon type may be a reference to the Dracaena genus of trees. It may also be a pun inspired by the Coca, a dragon whose name shares the same origins as the word coconut. Its dramatically larger size may also reference island gigantism.

  I&apos;m surprised there was no mention of the theory that the Galarian Legendary Birds are convergent instead of divergent. The Pokedex does seem to imply it with its specific wording. It wouldn&apos;t even be the first time a convergent Pokemon was misidentified since the Pokedex also says that Wiglett used to be considered a Paldean Diglett

  Hopefully they never retire the concept of Regional Forms. I don’t mind there being fewer going on in the next couple titles like Paldea. I’d just be upset if we didn’t get a single one. So in a way I’m a bit worried about ZA

  I thought the galarian legendary birds aren&apos;t actually variants, but are just called those names because they vaguely resemble the trio from kanto. I could be remembering wrong but I thought the pokedex entries hint at this.

  I have a theory about the evolution of Hisuian Voltorb/Electrode into their Kantonian counterparts. It&apos;s never stated what material Kantonian Voltorbs and Electrodes are made from; it can be determined that it&apos;s not metal since they do not have the STEEL type the way Magnemite and Magneton do. I think Voltorb and Electrode instead are covered in plastic, which can be created by processing certain plants. And the Hisuian Voltorb and Electrode just so happen to be GRASS type. Or possibly the accumulation of microplastics created by humans caused the plant based material in the pokemon to be substituted out in favor for being able to survive in a more industrial age.

  Galarian Slowking is basically a species consisting entirely of TF2 medics and I find that horrifying yet hilarious. Just like Medic
