• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    A Pokemon Taxonomic System.

    So they are. Oops. ...I keep forgetting coral is a colony of tiny organisms and not actual rock. And really I just put Cryogonal in Amorphous for lack of a decent place to put it; it should have gone on the Undecided list really. Its Pokédex entry mentions it melting into steam, so maybe it's...

    But Cryogonal is a snowflake. Snowflakes aren't man-made.
  3. Not Meowth

    A Pokemon Taxonomic System.

    Any Grass-type with more animal qualities than plant ones would go under animals. Anyway, because I evidently have far too much time, I've compiled a rough list of what should go into what kingdom (I put Lileep and Cradily in plants because I always thought they were fossilised plants :V)...

    But they need to be all Latin-sounding and end in "-ia" and "-ae" D:
  6. Not Meowth

    A Pokemon Taxonomic System.

    Well, obviously this wouldn't work strictly within the biological taxonomical system used to categorise actual life, so I think maybe we could get away with re-defining "species" as "individuals". Perhaps each evolutionary family could have a genus, and then each member of that family would be a...

    A Pokemon Taxonomic System.

    I'd think classifying Pokémon in any sort of taxonomic system would be pretty much impossible, if you look at the definition of a "species"; i.e. a group of organisms exclusively capable of reproducing amongst themselves. This would mean each egg group is a different species, and Pokémon throws...
