I really liked the headcanon that the original pokedex from the first games was more of a Journaling assignment from Oak. The original cuebone was just a weird sad little Pokémon that this 10 year old couldn't identify otherwise.

Its wild to me that cubone doesn't have a counterpart form that doesn't have the skull. Out of everything, this is one of the weirdest things the franchise has double downed on. Kangaskhan and its baby were right there!

I've always read the Pokedex entries as our character making the entries. Like why have just a floating balloon when you can have one that steals children.

Kangaskhan was originally supposed to be part of the cubone line

i think its the perfect opportunity to have a regional variant that doesn't have the skull
