Science'd

Wow. Just wow.

George Hutcheson, a guy I've never heard of before takes his interest in Pokémon to a whole new level by writing a small article on the similarities of some species of Pokémon to the real life creatures theyre based around.

Honestly the article is both informative and pretty surprising in the effectiveness of its point: that Pokémon evolutions aren't science fiction but science fact.

And no I'm not a creationist, evolution is real, but Pokémon evolution carries traits that most people think to be impossible.

To sum it up real evolution is the adaptation of a species over thousands or millions of years.

Pokémon evolution is much quicker, taking only days or even hours, and in some cases are even triggered by external sources (i.e. trading, using a special item etc.). Not to mention that in the game unevolved Pokémon can breed at any stage where as creatures who undergo metamorphosis are unable to breed until they reach thier mature, post-metamorphosis state.

Interested in how the game and the scientific world share similarities in regards to the digital world of Pokémon?
