Game Theory: The magical karps!

Pokémon? Evolution? Man, we are going to explore a whole different meaning of evolution than the Pokémon meaning in this theory.

Hello internet, welcome to game theory, where this time, instead of Patting the Mat, we will be wearing our Scratch Hats. that guy on youtube, Birdkeeper Toby, who made a tree of life to figure out the evolution of Pokémon in OUR world's meaning of the word? Even there it is said that Magikarp and Feebas are a relative species. That's today's focus! The most useless fish Pokémon! To uncover HOW exactly the species is related, we must first ask ourselves: what are the similiarities? Take a look.

Both fish, similiar body, same goofy eyes.

The differences are the differently shaped fins, and as you can see magikarp has that Easterny moustache. Seems like even the most useless Pokémon cares about a beautiful moustache.

They both have a very similiar moveset.

Now let's MOVE away from this, and and start theorizing. Feebas is not the female version of Magikarp, since they can be both genders. Milotic and Gyrados, their respective evolution, also both sea serpents, do breed together in the wild. Not just talking about "they have the same egg group because when you set them in the daycare you get eggs", but they actually breed on their own in the wild without just breeding with what there is to breed with in a daycare.

Feebas comes from the Hoenn region, and there are quite alot of predators in their seas, such as Sharpedo. This explains the hardened shell feebas has. Magikarp and Feebas also look like eachother. Gyrados' protect Feebas, which can also cause many magikarp to go to that area to also get Gyrados protection. That explains why both Feebas and Magikarp are obtainable in that game. So imagine some Magikarp, moving to Hoenn, thousands of years ago, and being troubled by predators such as Sharpedo, and the offspring of the Magikarp started developing hardened shells, to protect themselves, and blue fins, to blend in with the water.

The Gyrados started evolving and adapting and became more beutiful to attract mates and let the population of the Magikarp subspecies grow rapidly. Sounds pretty possible, right? Magikarp and Feebas could just be a related species, like we all assume, but this theory brings around the idea that it is a subspecies!

But in the meantime, ,

That's just a theory!

A Game Theory!
