First season had real animals, it's no big mystery. It's just one of those early things in pokemon they got rid of once they knew the franchise was going to go on longer than a year.

said they probably didn't expect Pokemon to go on as long as it has and that so many creatures would be added to form an ecosystem of their own.
Pokemon were probably originally designed to just live along-side humans and animals

They were originally all from the moon. Not just Clefairys.

Why is Misty dress as a slut?!
It's a Masdawg
>>32512138
It's a yukata, stupid.
>>32512212
She still look like a slut. We need 4Kids to change it
>>32512235
4Kids relinquished rights ages ago, stupid.

>They were originally all from the moon
proof
>>32512279
Then the TPIC needs to change it.
>>32512061
It was before the radiation went into full effect after the war Lt. Surge was in, real animals were still gradually changing into Pokemon. There's a reason why they keep "discovering more".

>Several Pokemon needed MOON stones to evolve
>Original team was Team Rocket, and you need rockets to go to the MOON
>Pokemon MOON was announced on Pokemon's 20th anniversary with the tagline "It all comes together"
>Type-MOON is a Japanese company, like Pokemon

The explanation is that these are drawn by generic anime artists who are used to drawing animals.

I like this idea
Cool explanation: Time and space in the Ashnime-verse fluctuates in unpredictable ways, causing things to spontaneously blink in and out of existence at complete random, allowing for things to happen that normally shouldn't in this franchise
Real explanation: The studio doesn't know what the fuck they're doing

They didn't expect anyone to care or the Korean art slaves drawing it didn't give a shit.
