Today’s Question:
QotD: What pokemon would you like to see more scientific research on so its actual taxonomical history can be determined?

Helpful Considerations: Is morelull a fungus? Find out if lugia has arms or wings? Amphibian like pokemon, more like a fish or reptile? How closely are girafarig and zebrastrika related by dna?

I will join with molayne to investigate on minior and somehow try to get the feed from their eyes when they are in space to watch rayquaza vs deoxys battle on a big screen with 3d glasses on my eyes and a mug of sprite in my hand by relaxing on a sofa…

(Yeah the research part is completely molayne’s though)

I would like to know if Charizard really isn’t a dragon, based on scientific research. Empirical evidence suggests otherwise since 1996.

Probably “maximus splashus”, I mean magikarp.

Glalie doesn´t look very icy on the inside. I´m still kind of mad they didn´t give it an additional typing, like Dark, Dragon or whatever.

Tinkaton.

I think ‘Humanoid’ is too vague
