...But We Digress - Pokemon Paleontology
Welcome to the world of Pokémon Paleontology! In this digression – by popular demand – we explore how the fictional world of Pokémon draws inspiration from real world science, particularly in regard to fossils and evolution. We’ll name our favorite fossil Pokémon, discuss Pokémon evolution, and point out where the Poké-science gets wonky.
What’s your favorite bit of Pokémon science?
We're doing another End of the Year Q&A! Submit your question here:
