A tree of life for every Pokemon. Each Pokemon is shown in the phlyogenetic group of the organism it represents. So that means it is not following any of the lore that says that Mew is the ancestor to all Pokemon, or that Arceus created the rest. Arceus looks like a horse, so it's counted as a horse, not a god. Each Pokemon is considered uniquely, meaning evolutionary lines may be broken up (Remora -> Octopus???). This is going mostly off of Bulbapedia's description of what they're supposed to be. Keep in mind that I've only taken Botany, Icthyology, Invertebrate zoology, and Marine Mammal zoology, so all the rest are based off of wikipedia's description of relatedness and such.



Also, Paras and Parasect are on here twice, one for the insect that is the basis, and one for the fungus that is taking over them. I couldn't think of any others that were clearly two different creatures in one, so that's the only example of that.



This version also includes Pokemon based on imaginary creatures or things. Each of these are grouped out in a manner similar to real phylogenetics, and as such, the groupings are really confusing. I made up group names for these, which are indicated by an asterisk.



It's a really large file, so I had to decrease the quality a bit. Also, I'm not quite sure how you guys will be able to view it and navigate around to see it all, but if it doesn't seem to work, you can just download it and you should be able to view it from ms paint or whatever.

Let me know what you think!
