Isn't first generation just for show of PF's history?
Yawnlax; couldn't it be like a special baby form of Snorlax, or else I totally agree.
The trio Rock, Paper, Scissors is just a gag.

When Nintendo came out with Munchlax, we redesigned our pre-existing Yawnlax as a pre-evo of Munchlax. So now the family works like Slakoth's line; sleepy, energetic, sleepy.
We have no intention of pretending we didn't create an idea just because Nintendo comes up with it after we do.

Yet, shouldn't each pokemon evolution be unique? And the rules of pokemon evolution are, baby pokemon, i.e. pichu, wynaut, and munchlax, cannot breed until they evolve. so it couldn't work anyway. and about the pf history, most of the are just edits, not actual creation.

...most of the are just edits, not actual creation.

Really... we had never noticed that before :P It's jsut to show what the site was like waay back in the 90s. Why get rid of them? We explain on each page that it's history, nothing more.

And in RSE, a few pokemon were introduced that bred in strange way: breed Marill in GSC and you get a Marill. Breed it with the Sea Incense in RSE and you get Azurill. The reasons postulated for that is that the Sea Incense is something that occurs naturally in Marill's priginal habitat, where they would feel safe to breed Azurill; but, out in the rest of the world, they require Sea Incense to simulate that environment, otherwise it sets off a survival instinct that breeds Marill straight away.

We haven't put anything about this on the site (we're working on moving to a new one), but we're going to make a new incense (or something similar) for Snorlax, meaning it breeds to Yawnlax when held.

However, in D/P, Snorlax had to hold a certain incense to breed a Munchlax.

I tame the burninators.

Here's how the Slakoth line really goes through evolution:

Slakoth drinks a Red Bull, causing it to get hyper and evolve into Vigoroth.
The caffeine rush ends, causing Vigoroth to evolve into Slaking.

Due to the existance of Yawnlax, in PF's setting Munchlax is not classified as a baby pokémon.

I came with something that could solve the Snorlax Problem: Make a new Incense for Yanwlax. With this, depending on the held incense, a Munchlax or a Yawnlax will be born. So basically, both Munchlax and Yawnlax will be baby Pokemon. You could name the new item "Yawn Incense", "Calm Incense" or something related to sleep.

that could work but it seems a little sketchy. I dunno. The best way to make that idea work would be to say different Snorlax habitats would require different survival skills. Environmental conditions with less food (ie:) would produce a Yawnlax which would need to sleep more to be able to produce enough energy to evolve. Environmental conditions with more enemies though, would require the much more active Munchlax, which would need to shovel down food (ugh) to have the energy required to fend off foes. These would be good examples (with, of course) their own share of loopholes, such as having enemies and low food conditions (you'll breed a Snorlax I'd suppose) but otherwise this could work. Eheh, I contradicted meself.

New Signature Pending...

I already brought up a little thread on redundant Pokémon a while ago, but that was about two Pokémon which did actually appear redundant rather than the 1st Gen and Gag Pokémon. I posted Rhyny, former Rhyhorn pre-evo and Yawnlax, and it was cleared that Rhyny would be a separate Pokémon and that Yawnlax evolves into Munchlax. Way to repeat what I've asked with half the bloody logic. Though I don't no why I bothered posting this you won't read it for three weeks and won't reply for seven.

1. I can't believe my lame topic brings lot of discussion. 2. I understand now about the edits thing, so I'll just let it go. 3. I think the new essence should be called " tired essence." How bout them apples? Are they tasty?

To recap, Yawnlax evolves into Munchlax; Munchlax is not classified as a baby pokémon in Bombur; we will introduce a new essence; and the concept itself will indeed roughly work like DeckuZora outlined, as that is how essences work, with the addition that Munchlax will be able to breed.

So then how would Yawnlax evolve into Munchlax? Would it evolve by friendship?

We were thinking when it levels up while holding Leftovers at day (like the method Gligar/Sneasel/Happiny use).

That actually sounds really good. I just can't get out of my head that Munchlax is an official baby pokemon. I don't know what to think.

I GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Munchlax can be born with the lax essence, and evolve into snorlax. Yawnlax can be bron with this new essence, evolve into muchlax while holding leftovers in happiness, then evolve into snorlax, that way, Munchlax and Yawnlax can both be considered baby pokemon, to an extent. Munchlax and Yawnlax can't breed though. Does that sound good?

Saying Munchlax is a baby, yet having Yawnlax evolve into him, just brings back the original problem, doesnt it?

Oh. Why can't we have 2 separate evolution lines? Muchlax to Snorlax, and Yawnlax to Snorlax?

Nevermind that last comment. I just can't get out of my head that Munchlax should stay a baby. I mean, The PF Factory should stick with the facts made by nintendo, and then build onto it, not change it into something else. Nintendo probably took Months, maybe years to think of that concept. And we just warp it out of place? I say NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We need to keep as nintendo would want it and build up. WE are not nintendo!
