>>1205560>>1205561>>1205562My observation is that what set pokémon from a species apart from humans are two things:
Elemental attacksThey come in "types" which correspond to both how they adapted to their environment and the powerful attacks they can use with little explanation of the biology around them. Such as Fairy-Types using magic or Ghost-Types able to weaponize pure-fear.
All that is known that powers these attacks are called "Power Points", which means these elemental attacks still require a reserve of energy from the pokémon to use.
EvolutionHumans call it evolution, but it looks more like a cross between natural metamorphism for some animals (such as axolotles to salamanders via neoteny) but hurried with something like regeneration (from Doctor Who).
For a Time Lord, regeneration is when each and every cell in their body release an energy that both burn off and replace said cell, appearing as if the body is erupting in light. The Time Lord's memory and identity remains, but given they are technically a whole new person with different brain and personality, but at their core, still same person. Unlike Time Lords, evolution outcomes seem to be coded for the pokémon, though they may have changes in personality after evolution.
Thing is thoughh, things that give off light, gives off energy.
