      If we’re going by real-world evolution rules, OP is the next evolutionary stage compared to their dad, who is in turn the next stage compared to grandpa.

        Pokemon “evolution” is more like irl metamorphosis

          Sure, I’m just saying that’s why I imagine, they put it this way around. I do agree that it’s weird. You’d expect grandpa to be level 70, so he definitely shouldn’t be a baby dino anymore.

      Asbestos and lead are too dense, thus preventing flight.

      And even old people have the microplastics. Isn’t it they can’t do a study with a control group because every single living person has the microplastics?

    and our children full of microplastics (because it’s passed down through the placenta and breast milk)

      I read it as comparing the three exposures to each other.

      The first evolution, Charmander was exposed to lead and the toxic effects of lead are pretty fast acting. Meaning they were weakened the quickest and couldn’t evolve.

      Charmeleon was exposed to asbestos which has latent toxic effects, they show up decades after exposure. So the Charmeleon lived quite a while before they showed any noticeable effects.

      The final evolution was exposed to micro plastics and because, so far, micro plastics seem to be so unreactive they just chill doing nothing the Charazard had an opportunity to evolve.

    The toxicity of micro plastics is very minor. To get to the point where it is a problem you need to be exposed to it for a very long time.

    I think our asbestos is halogenated organic chemicals like PFAS. They are toxic in every way and we are addicted to their use in food chemistry. Not to eat or anything but to make the packaging look nice.

    Because they are indestructible by any natural way their dose in the water supply is ever rising. The cost of health issues is already in the hundred billions.

    Micro plastics might be a problem for our children when the dosage in clean water gets to extreme levels.

        Correct but if the effects are severe we could already say that it’s bad. If they are harmful the effect of currently normal levels is on the milde side.

        Lucky for us, that’s not the only vector! Baby foods keep getting recalled because of lead contamination, and the FDA just released a new limit on lead content in baby food.

        Except, they are just guidelines and are not enforceable.

      Elder Millenials and young Gen X can have all 3 if they grew up near a busy highway in a home built before the 1980s.

    Worst part is that the mutations created by the lead in the body, led to the mutated Charmeleon body. And those mutations he got from the asbestos, match the Charizard body.

    Thematically, it fits

    Only Arceus knows what is to come for the next stage… Olestra mutations?
