Have you ever thought about that one pokemon, Kangaskhan, how it always had its baby, but the baby never actually had it's own species or pre-evolution?
Here's what I think.
I beleive that all baby Kangaskhans are actually Cubones. The reason you don't see any Kangaskhan babies alone in the wild is because they are being nurtured in their mother's pouch. Many baby Pokemon evolve with friendship and attention, (Such as Pichu, Togepi, Magby, Elekid, etc), so it follows that in order for a Kangaskhan's baby Cubone to actually evolve into a Kangaskhan, it needs love and attention from its mother.
However, as it says in Cubone's Pokedex, it is a lonely Pokemon that became solitary after the loss of its mother. It also wears it's mother's skull. So in the event that the mother Kangaskhan were to die, the Pokemon would be forced to live on its own, as a Cubone.
It is also worth noting that Nintendo may have intended Cubone to involve into Kangaskhan at some point, but scrapped the idea, due to the fact that there was no way to really establish a "friendship" type evolution in the original Red and Blue Pokemon. Instead of wasting time removing the incomplete code from the game, the incomplete Pokemon was shifted into a Pokemon address with a value that wasn't assigned an in-game Pokedex number. This garbage Pokemon was Missingno, also known as (m). Anyone who has ever captured a Missingno, (Which you shouldn't, it can mess up your game) would know that, upon leveling up, Missingno will evolve into Kangaskhan.
Anyway, what do you think? I'd say it makes sense.
(I didn't come up with this btw, I copy and pasted it)
But there you go, a pretty solid theory on kangaskhan and Missingno.
