There really isn't a good reason why these two shouldn't share the same dex number
>>59473525It’s been 30 years get over it
>>59473525It'd require moving everything one place.
>>59473525Real life science has plenty of examples where under current methodology and understanding we'd name something differently, use a different clustering of concepts, or have a different convention but for historical reasons just keep up with the known inaccuracy. Look at the entire field of herpetology when reptiles and amphibians are more distantly related than reptiles and birds.
>>59473558No
>>59473593>but for historical reasons just keep up with the known inaccuracy.Said reason to be a bunch of retarded lazy asses who are too lazy and autistic to change shit
They're not going to change the dex number of every Pokemon (which are usually featured in merchandise) for Nidoran
>>59473609Why not
>>59473614People care more about consistency than Nidoran becoming a single mon
>>59473621>People care more about consistency Pokemon with gender differences consistently shared the same dex though
>>59473585they'll never do it, unless they do a full reboot, but one way would be if they introduced a split evolution that both Nidoran forms evolved into, at number 30, move both Nidorans into 29, then 31-32 is Rina/Queen, 33-34 stays as Rino/King. So the only dex numbers that move are the female Nidos, and male Nido gets axed. Make ir stay a quadroped and call it Nidorinu or some shit.
they should make a new pokemon and put it in nidoran-M's slot and not tell anyone
>>59473595Oh well it’s never changing
>>59473593Per gen 2 zukan, that's the canon explanation anyways.
>>59473525>Mew as 151>Mew as 150Pick one.
>>59473905148 if you combine the other Nidos like they should be. 145 if you also make Rhydon and Kanghaskan a subspecies which would make sense.
nidoran male and nidoran female are two different pokemon species with the same name, that is why they don't share a dex number
>>59473525only mons that weren't genderless in gen 1
>>59473525iT would create a lot of headaches for the Pokédex organization and trading between generations, so that's not likely to happen.
it is more reasonable that they dexcut them forever since troons would claim it is anti troon schizo shit since they re only female and male, and can't be trans.
>>59473525The good reason is that every pokémon # after them would be -1 and that would be too massive of a retcon.
Too much of a hassle to shuffle all those numbers and entries associated to them, both externally and internally. With their incompetence, they'll surely fuck up a lot of things just by trying to merge the 2 and everything that follows will be misplaced.
>>59473992It's just sexual dimorphisme. They're literally the same species and even Pokedex tells you that back in RBY.>Although small, its venomous barbs render this POKéMON dangerous. The female has smaller horns.And another entry in RSE that explicitly says so.>The male NIDORAN has developed muscles for moving its ears. Thanks to them, the ears can be freely moved in any direction. Even the slightest sound does not escape this POKéMON’s notice.
>>59474399kill your fucking self.
>>59474401You first, retard
>>59474366National Dex is dead anyway so it literally wouldn't matter
>>59474402self description
>>59473936>145 if you also make Rhydon and Kanghaskan a subspeciesDo what now?
There really isn't a good reason why your mom gave birth to you 30 years ago and yet here we are
>>59474499this but 12 years ago for (You) and the rest of unfunny underages posting in this board
>>59473622>Pokemon with gender differences consistently shared the same dex thoughOnly if they have the same species name. Nidorina/Nidorino, Nidoking/Nidoqueen, Volbeat/Illumise and Latios/Latias are all separate Pokemon despite being the same species with gender differences because they have different names
