I'm probably not the only person to see this, right? Ya ever notice how rocks and stones are ever-present in Pokemon and play a somewhat important role? There's the
Rock type. There's a
Rock type gym leader in every generation except the 5th. Many Pokemon evolve via special
stones. Pokemon Mega Evolve through mega
stones. There's Steven
Stone. The original Tao Dragon and Deoxys came to the world on a
meteor (aka big flying space rocks), and Deoxys even requires
meteorites in order to change form. There's the
meteorite you get at Mt.Chimney. Zekrom and Reshiram's dormant forms are the
Dark Stone and the
Light Stone. There's an item called the
Hard Stone. Rocks even factor into ORAS's Delta Episode (gonna spoiler this part since ORAS is new)
Why is there an emphasis on rocks/stones of all things in the Pokemon world?
