[video/action if you're in mahogany town]
[Once again, it would seem like Doppio is staying at some kind of traditional-looking inn. There is some faint yipping and barking in the background before he starts talking.]
So... I've been curious about something. This is Scarabella...
[He holds up to the camera a pink-purpleish Heracross. It looks smaller than average, and veterans may notice there is something else that's unusual about its appearance.]
... She hatched just last week. I've seen some Heracross here and there, and when I did some looking into it, I kind of noticed there's something-- Ah, I don't mean the color! I know about Shiny Pokémon. But...
[If Doppio intended to use the PokéGear for something else, too bad, because Scarabella is now sucking on the bottom of the screen. Oh well. Also, is the barking getting louder?]
Uh, I guess you'll have to check your Pokédex if you don't know what I'm talking about, but it looks like male Heracross usually have a sort of branched horn, like a rhinoceros beetle, and female Heracross usually have what looks like a heart on the tip of their horn... But Scarabella's heart is upside-down. [Almost like...] Does that kind of thing happen a lot? I mean... differences that don't really show up on the Pokédex?
[Really, he just wants to know the odds that he'll be forced to hand in an ultra-rare specimen to Team Rocket. Scarabella is cute... It'd be a shame. Hey, that's some REALLY loud yipping--
A horde of Yamper rushes in through the window.
He is on the second floor.]
Oh yeah if you want one of these little guys you should come to Mahogany Town, there's a ton and they're everywhere, try catching a few, okay bye!

Oh... I think I get it
It's not really a mutation anymore when it's been happening for a long time.
Right?
no subject
if it comes up a couple times its mutation!
if it comes up all the time its evolution!
normal evolution not poke-evolution
still dont get that
no subject
no subject
biologically its really weird
just poof suddenly their like a whole different animal?
thats messed up
no subject
Electric rodents, fire rabbits, dogs hatching from eggs...
no subject
on all different planets so its not that unique
& technically all life starts in an egg so egg laying mammals is weird but its not like it defies biology
evolving the way pokemon do? cant rationalize it
no subject
[Unless oysters count?? Like, when they shoot water at you???]
So for me it's just about on the same level as really fast evolution.
no subject
& i bet if u thought about it u DO have animals with 'elemental powers'
if ur from earth at any point u got electric eels
no subject
[wait no HE'S RIGHT ABOUT THE EELS??????]
Okay yeah there's electric eels...
But aren't they kind of an outlier??
no subject
the point is its biologically possible
& a lot different than the pokemon evolution thing
no subject
no subject
a buncha animals generate electricity but cant utilize it on land so it doesnt do anything
no subject
no subject
