I still have no idea how Hanamogura was supposed to fit between Chikorita and Meganium design-wise. Like what even was the original intention here?
We always saw Chikorita as a pear with legs, but what if we looked it from other viewpoint? Like the leaf part in its head was actually stem and the body was a flower bud?
Yes, that's how this evolution came to be. Chikorita's body turned upside-down and split from head to tail, opening to show the little yellow creature. That's probably why they don't use it-children would be terrified as heck.

That makes a scary amount of sense. It would also explain where exactly Meganium’s petals around the neck came from.
