Other than the name which points to the obvious theme they were going for, the fact that it looks like a body rather than a mere orb like a nucleus. no you're right. A homunculus is such a far-fetched idea.How is me saying that Rankurusus body is most likely a nucleus ridiculous? It seems more ridiculous to think its a homunculus.
Except its much less obvious....Your point is?
Saying its based on a specific cell and then giving such a broad category which doesn't really clear anything up on its origin is my point, since being a cell is the most apparent feature of the Pokemon. Here's a list on the many different kinds of cells in a human. It doesn't really matter whether it was a Eukaryotic or Prokaryotic cell since the inspiration itself was merely that it was a cell.
So I was wrong, big deal. That still dosnt make a difference. My point was that prokaryote cells didnt have some giant organelle where genetic material was stored.
And my point was why bother giving basic cell lessons and getting it wrong?
Yes, and I specifically mentioned how modern-day insects that inspired Pokemon are massive in size compared to their real-world counterparts. We can even look at size-comparisons between species and compare the size ratios of their real world counterparts and they probably wont be accurate.well, real life insects can be super huge too, depending ont he amount of oxygen in the atmosphere, note that in the carboniferous era, insects were massive. Like meganuerna, the giant dragonfly, which grew as large as some eagles today.
This doesn't cancel out my point that saying Ranculus is a Eukaryotic cell because its "big" doesn't hold any ground, especially when we have no other "Cell" Pokemon to compare it to.
