It's not that. If they wanted to imply a connection, they should be more similar than esoteric interpretations of similar animals. Tons of Pokemon have different interpretations of a type of animal like Crobat, Swoobat and Noivern

Meanwhile Pokemon with ACTUAL gender dimorphism into separate species not only breed into each other (Nidorans and Volbeat/Illumise) but look the same. Assuming these mons are the same species is more autistic because they're a bull/cow than saying they should look the same. They pretend this is the case in XY/SM but suddenly Paldean Tauros exists and no Paldean Miltank like they realized they just didn't justify a real connection other than another cow doesn't exist
