			:::::Origins of Pokémon species typically involve a degree of speculation, but they should still pass a certain level of scrutiny. At best, the shape of the "ears" share a passing resemblance to the pedals of a clover, but the overall design of Chansey bears no strong resemblance to a clover flower aside from maybe being round and pink, and the ears hang down instead of up like an actual clover. The medicinal connection feels like an extra stretch to make the connection seem more likely. Clovers are not known for being medicinal, they just happen to have medicinal properties, like many, many other plants. And points 3 and 4 are even more tenuous in their connections. Without confirmation from an official source, or new strong textual evidence such as a Pokédex entry, I'd say it's best to leave this be for now. If something new comes up, maybe we can discuss it again then, but I honestly doubt we'll see any good new evidence come out to support this theory, and I think you were well aware that this would be a stretch when you posted it.
