thoughts on 'mons

assorted thoughts on pokemon things that never really get explained in official media. - can pokemon get rabies or something akin to it? - pokerus is absolutely a parasite, not a virus. if it's a virus, then its a really weird one - pokemon rangers are the pokemon equivalent of animal control - pokemon get smarter the more they evolve, and some of them definitely get some kind of a sense of self after a while -most mythical pokemon are so elusive that people assume they were made up, same for legendaries - pokemon make eggs because they're easier to raise in enviroments like tall grass, and ocean pokemon have salmon roe like eggs! send more headcannons my way and i will happily add them
