Current Events > Wouldn't it be cruel to evolve Paras into Parasect?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Red/Blue/Leaf Green: A host-parasite pair in which the parasite mushroom has taken over the host bug.

Yellow: The bug host is drained of energy by the mushrooms on its back. They appear to do all the thinking.

Gold/Heart Gold: It stays mostly in dark, damp places, the preference not of the bug, but of the big mushrooms on its back.

Crystal: When nothing's left to extract from the bug, the mushrooms on its back leave spores on the bug's egg.

Ultra Sun: The bug is mostly dead, with the mushroom on its back having become the main body. If the mushroom comes off, the bug stops moving.

we need a true pokemon lore tv show or movie that shows cubones becoming kangaskhans, parasect mushrooms leaving their eaten paras in search of a new one, and what not
