what kind of linguistics are we referring to in this case?
Pokemon 'classifications' i think(?) People on this site use words like 'dog' 'cat' 'bird' 'rat' 'horse' ect ect for groups of pokemon.
I don't want to talk about it too much in depth but these words and phrases started emerging early to mid 1900s and it was a kind of like. Huge deal at the time. Idk. Like. I understand why people use 'em but most biologists agree that these 'groupings' are not scientific as there are as many exceptions as there are rules. I'm not like. pressed about this I just. Studying rotomblr users under a microscope.
