I always keep my promises...

And so here is my drawing, exactly as promised previously.

Staryu & Starmie. Hermaphroditic Pokémon apparently.

So, the red and blue Pokédex description of Staryu is:

"An enigmatic Pokémon that can effortlessly regenerate any appendage lost in battle."

Aha. I see what you did there Nintendo. It's like a starfish. Clever. Starmie's is pretty similar:

"Its central core glows with the seven colours of the rainbow. Some people value the core as a gem."

Ok, well that's all well and good. But if we look at the Pokédex entry from Black and White we get:

"At the centre of its body is a red core, which sends mysterious radio signals into the night sky."

Wait, WHAT? Is this Pokémon trying to communicate with something in outer space? The Pokémon stadium dex entry gives us the answer:

"This Pokémon may have come from outer space"

Ohmigosh. Starmie is clearly a fallen shooting star. How did I not see this before? It's so obvious. But the question is, if Starmie came from outer space, where did Staryu come from? Perhaps, this is the first case of Pokémon devolution. Maybe it's like Magnemite and Magneton, and Starmie is made from two Staryu stuck together which can then seperate out again. That would explain how the second star can move almost independently of the front body.

I think I might be getting a little too into this...
