Re: Pokémon Squared
@OP: By the way, you're getting pretty close to "another month-long hiatus", which going by your updates, you just did one of, and which you also said you wouldn't do.
Oh, I thought that since it was an article about evolution, it would naturally be billions of years.
Yeah, if they weren't very far off from Ditto in the evolution line, then they could probably all breed with each other (like dogs, again).
The website says something about how then they separated into groups, but if they're different enough from each other now that they can't breed (when they're closer to each other than to Ditto), they probably shouldn't be able to breed with Ditto, either.
It might make more sense to just say that Ditto can breed with all Pokemon because it contains their genetic structure (so, you know, it can just turn into them, and then there's no problem), and then suggest that Mew could too, but it's a much rarer Pokemon so it hasn't been tested - or at least, not that anyone in the Pokemon World knows of.

In relation to the site:
On actually reading through the articles now, you need to write better conclusions. Two of them so far essentially say "well, uh, that's the end, I guess." In the Egg Groups article, you can lose that impression by taking off "the end~".
And the Evolution article is a little presumptuous.
For one thing, I'm not sure where you're drawing the line between analyzing Pokemon evolution and... analyzing Pokemon evolution. This is what you're doing now, and that's what a research paper would do. If you were to say that a research-paper would be more scientifically detailed and use sources and be written in a more formal tone, sure, maybe you don't want to do all of that, but if you mean that you just don't want to go into detail, then why not? So long as you're explaining evolution anyway, you might as well actually explain it.
If you just want to be really simplistic, the least you can do is to not point it out so bluntly. You could easily interpret this as "Well, Pokemon evolution will never really make sense, so it doesn't matter if I'm not making sense, plus, this isn't a real research paper, so I can do what I want."
Additionally, maybe some readers would like to read some hypothetical pseudo-scientific papers on the nature of the Pokemon World. Sure, it's a game, but that doesn't make theorizing about it any less interesting to people who like Biology.
