The alola forms showed us something new about the pokemon A

No
That's not how lamarckism works.

This is just mutation, which is a regular of evolution and speciation.

Take a biology class.

No, in evolution each individual evolves independently, but in lamarckism all the species evolves in parallel

>in evolution each individual evolves independently
I didn't know Brannon Braga posted on /vp/.

not lamarckism. just regional variation which is a product of natural selection.

the only things in pokemon that are similar to lamarckism would be passing down of egg moves and iv's (especially considering that iv's can be changed now)

This is wrong.

So is this an image that is trying to point out terrible anatomy in anime boobs? Because that's a pretty rampant problem, but I'm not sure that image explains that concept well enough.

God fucking dammit. This is what not teaching evolution in school does. It makes a bunch of fucking retards who think that Lamarksism is anything other than a fucking joke. READ THE FUCKING ARTICLE YOU POSTED.
Lamarksism would mean that every time you go to the gym, your genome gets rewritten. This is fucking stupid.

>Shoving a bunch of bottlecaps into a Pokemon's bloodstream alters their genetics, and thus can (maybe) be passed on via breeding with a Destiny Knot.
Well, fuck. OP's right. Still a moron but he's right.

Those are particularly bad. Either those tits are made out of concrete, or she is wearing the mightiest bra I have ever seen.

Can we just have a Fumi thread and be done with it?

Lamarckism is the theory of evolution that the traits ACQUIRED OR LOST in the animal's lifetime can be passed to the species' OFFSPRING. So if EVs were heritable, the alolan form and all moves were heritable that would be lamarckism. If a person's arm was amputated and their children had amputated arms that would also be lamarckism.

The definition of a species is that it can interbreed to produce fertile offspring. Therefore, a Pokemon 'species' is not really a species per se - that's technically divided by egg group.

either genetic mutations that made the pokémon change form and made it pass down the next generations.
or the species slowly changed along with the surroundings.

You mean CAN'T interbreed to produce fertile offspring.

Or can interbreed but produce infertile offspring.

Two different species can't interbreed to produce fertile offspring.
Two members of the same species can interbreed to produce fertile offspring.
