Ok let me explain

-Meowth, Glameow Purrloin and litleo predate Litten

-Sprig grows differently from Litten, learning to fight with trickery rather than brute force

^That.

Also, where's Skitty?

Pretty sure this is a joke.

nah they ripoffs

Since Meowth was the first Cat Pokemon, shouldn't all the other Cat Pokemon that came after Meowth be a rip-off of Meowth?

Literally all of these are before litten. Also Sprigatito is entirely different just because they both evolutions starters, are bipedal, and gain the dark type doesn’t mean their a ripoff. (Also Meowscarada > incineroar)

That’s like saying alligators are ripoffs of crocodiles

You know different cat species exist irl?
