Wii_Shaker 11/12/21 6:56:52 AM #16:	I think what Digimon do is closer to evolving as they completely change forms entirely. The fact that Pokemon also have fossil poke'mon as part of it's universe that theoretically would have their own evolutionary lines begs more question than the source material can handle.
