| Sep 16, 2021 at 18:33 | comment | added | Escaped dental patient. | Only the one you edited, the other might best be described as "Pokemon inspired". @Otkin | |
| Sep 16, 2021 at 18:25 | comment | added | Otkin | @ARogueAnt. Both are not Pokemon questions... | |
| Sep 16, 2021 at 18:22 | comment | added | Escaped dental patient. | @Otkin Woops, no - I meant this Pokemon question. | |
| Sep 16, 2021 at 18:21 | comment | added | Otkin | @sphennings worldbuilding.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/8419/… | |
| Sep 16, 2021 at 18:19 | comment | added | Escaped dental patient. | @Otkin Oh, I never knew that, that simplifies the process if I just do that then. Ps. this is the first time I've been the first to vote to close an old question on any basis, happened upon it by chance when searching a recent Pokemon question, but when I do in future I'll do as you suggest. | |
| Sep 16, 2021 at 17:45 | comment | added | sphennings | @Otkin People look at existing questions to inform their understanding of site policy. It is the norm across stack exchange to close questions that don't meet current site policy to prevent confusion and a lot of "Why was my question closed when this other question from X years ago wasn't?" questions on meta. The best way to combat this is consistent application of site policy. | |
| Sep 16, 2021 at 17:40 | comment | added | Otkin | @ARogueAnt. If you put a link to another question in the comments or edit the original query and add links there, the Linked section in the sidebar will show linked questions. Both of these actions will avoid putting questions into a VTC review queue. | |
| Sep 16, 2021 at 17:36 | comment | added | Escaped dental patient. | It's not for the OP, it's for people now and in the future searching the site for something specific. That's why questions are linked, to help people find what they're looking for even if the same keywords are not used (and thus wouldn't turn-up in the same search otherwise). @Otkin I'm not on some kind of crusade to close old Qs, if there were a "link this" option which avoided closure, I'd happily take it. | |
| Sep 16, 2021 at 17:30 | comment | added | Otkin | @ARogueAnt. It is pointless because the OP might not be using the stack and is unable to answer you. If you want to link a relevant question you can do it in the comments, there is no need to put old questions into review queues. There are plenty of people who do not pay attention to the time stamps. | |
| Sep 16, 2021 at 17:02 | comment | added | Escaped dental patient. | Not at all, the work continues with multiple series of linked duplicates, sometimes linked in a circle, sometimes a chain. No point in closing as "needs details and clarity" too late for that, but dupes, yep. @Otkin It helps people find linked questions. | |
| Sep 16, 2021 at 16:40 | comment | added | Otkin | @ARogueAnt. My point was: 'Just leave it alone, please'. It is rather pointless to raise a possible duplicate issue after 5 years. | |
| Sep 16, 2021 at 16:34 | comment | added | Escaped dental patient. | So was the other one, just tidying-up in passing. @Otkin | |
| Sep 16, 2021 at 16:32 | comment | added | Otkin | @ARogueAnt. This question was asked over 5 years ago... | |

| Sep 16, 2021 at 14:08 | comment | added | Escaped dental patient. | Does this answer your question? How could animals evolve like they do in Pokémon? | |

| Jul 18, 2016 at 17:02 | comment | added | Taegost | I think to further complicate matters, in the Poke-verse, what the OP is describing is referred to in-universe as "evolution" and "evolving", so it doesn't fit the standard real-world definition of "evolution", but is still correct in this context | |
| Jul 18, 2016 at 16:45 | comment | added | user23105 | FYI, in the very beginning, they were weapons that had been made for the 3rd world war. | |
| Jul 18, 2016 at 15:44 | comment | added | neminem | @TylerH I think there's some confusion - I agree that the tag and title are misleading, but evolution is still involved in the question: the question being, "how would a species evolve to metamorphose into 2 or possibly even 3 such remarkably different forms?" Which is a reasonable question. (The Enderverse comes to mind as well - after all, nothing in the pokemon universe comes even close to "evolving" from a humanoid to a tree. :D) | |
| Jul 18, 2016 at 13:12 | comment | added | TylerH | @TRiG There isn't one because it isn't evolution by the process of natural selection | |
| Jul 18, 2016 at 9:25 | comment | added | TRiG | @TylerH. The question is asking for an evolutionary explanation of this form of metamorphosis. Why would evolution favor a creature changing its form so radically? | |

| Jul 18, 2016 at 0:42 | comment | added | TylerH | @TrEs-2b Yes, and Nex is pointing out that calling it "evolution" and using the evolution tag is probably not productive, since it's not evolution, biologically speaking. Evolution is just the term the game gives to the gimmick. | |

| Jul 17, 2016 at 20:55 | comment | added | Frostfyre | I find it amusing that the rise of Pokemon Go has people asking the same kind of questions I asked a while ago. However, this isn't a duplicate of one of those because mine were asking about the underlying mechanics, rather than the visible consequences. | |

| Jul 17, 2016 at 18:42 | comment | added | TrEs-2b | @NexTerren I clearly stated that in the question | |
| Jul 17, 2016 at 18:38 | comment | added | Ranger | Pokémon evolution is metamorphosis, not the biological theory of evolution. They're entirely distinct things. | |
