:Pretty interesting point of view, but I can't really buy it for several reasons. Most importantly, Ninjask looks much more like an adult cicada than a wasp, at least other than the coloration. Then there's the fact that none of the Pokedex entries implies such drastic thing happens, while they aren't subtle at all about Parasect's parasite mushroom. Finally, Ninjask is considered Nincada's "true" evolution, can produce Nincada Eggs, and unlike Shedinja, is the one who keeps Nincada's gender and nickname. Everything points out to Ninjask simply being an adult Nincada.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|<font color="#AB0909">電</font><font color="#063A73">禅</font>]]<small>[[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|<font color="#fff" face="Tahoma"><span style="text-shadow:#000 0.2em 0.1em 0.1em; class=texhtml">Den Zen</span></font>]]</small>''' 21:27, 19 June 2017 (UTC) | :Pretty interesting point of view, but I can't really buy it for several reasons.

::Interesting counter-points, but I'd argue a couple of them. | |||
::1 - Pokémon looks don't always match their real life counterparts. One example is Butterfree which has a mouth while real life Butterflies have a proboscis. They "fixed" that with Beautifly, though. | |||
::2 - The Pokédex argument is a non-issue. For instance, Remoraid evolves into Octillery, which is a quite drastic change, but neither of their Pokédex entries mentions it. | |||
::Your third and final point is quite valid, though. Ninjask eggs are Nincadas. However, one could argue that this is simply a simplification of the Pokémon game. Cicada Killer Wasps can't lay eggs without a Cicada host to begin with, so for another Ninjask to exist, so does another Nincada. | |||
::It may not be definitive proof, but I think the Origin section should include at least a mention of this possibility. | |||
