Oh, oh man. Now I'm gonna have to go get me an entire posse of Beedrills. As terrible as I feel for poor (and very adorable) little Weedle, that theory is too good to pass up, and it makes a tremendous amount of sense; as a kid, I always thought it was weird that Weedle didn't evolve into Venomoth; Venonat just didn't seem right and I had this lingering suspicion that it had been a simple entomological error/just not caring on Nintendo's part. But that seemed weird, given how much of Pokemon proper seems to be foundated on the kind of multi-eyed love that one can only get from watching tiny garden creatures skitter around.

And to the point - at some point, and it'd probably have to be an 'add as you like' kind of deal - it might not be bad to create a colloborative set of theories about just how many relatively horrible things trainers do to evolve their Pokemon, or otherwise gain power. And the worst part is (of course!) that many of them are unthinking, and subconscious. This would make the cut, for sure.
