What you said about Crocanaw made no sense. Just think, Totodile is pretty much a cute water type. It loses that cutness after the second stage and starts looking more like its fully grown (like humans. Child,teen and adult). Theres always a gap between young and old if Totodile just ZAP! And evolved into Fareligatr it would make no sense how it got so big like that. And catterpillers change color when there changing and have changed into butterflies/moths and so do deer, chickens ect. Color change has nothing to do with this.
P.S. mantine is by itself it doesn't evolve or is an evo.
