((I’m going on an Orchestra retreat this weekend, so I thought I’d just post these right now. So, here’s one of the first posts I made on Ask Flygon, and one of the posts I really liked from Ask Pangoro’s older days.
I think the Flygon post is from June 2012, and the Pangoro post is from February 8th, 2014. Trust me, progress will be made if you just keep drawing.))
askflygon asked you:
"Hi, welcome to the ask blog community! Are all female Combee destined to become Vespiquen, or is it just a select few?"
Thank you, and salutations!
Actually, very few female combee ever evolve in the wild. Vespiquen are known to release an impressive variety of pheromones to maintain order, including a variety that inhibits the evolution of females. This way, the only time another combee will evolve is when they are removed from the hive - either by trainers or by choice to start a new hive - or when the current vespiquen is unable to produce these pheromones - either due to death or a natural change in their bodies due to age. I believe these changes are loosely comparable to what humans refer to as... menopause?
As it so happens, my mother recently went through this change, which allowed for my own evolution.
When my time comes, I hope to rule the hive with just as much dignity and strength of character as she does.
