A jokey image showing how Meltan might have evolved if it was introduced in different generations of Pokémon, playing on:
Gen 1’s abundance of stupid “here are three of them now!” evolutions
Gen 2’s addition of multiple babies and also Unown
Gen 3’s Silcoon and Cascoon
Gen 4’s additions all having really crazy coloured eyes, see eg. Patrat
Gen 5’s “sentient object” Pokémon like Trubbish and Vanillish
Gen 6’s Megas
Gen 7’s Ultra Beasts
and a guess of Gen 8’s gimmick
