Ok i know your making a joke but isn't there a theory that Dragonair was originally supposed to evolve into Gyarydos, and they switched it?

They switched and dropped a few evos around during development, if i remember right blastoise was going to be from a diffent evolution line from squirtle-wartortle starters

And i think kangaskhan had a pre evolution
