>>47299183if anything this supports my idea that pokemon universe functions along the medieval concept of Divine Spontaneous Generation, i.e. God's continuing creation makes all babies for all animals.
This is why the daycare couples don't know where eggs come from. (they really are just appearing out of thin air as Arceus makes them)
This is why eggs are basically just cradles rather than actually made for embryonic development (they babies are created fully formed).
This is why the one town that worships him has babies in cradles. (divine blessing of ample progeny for the pious)
This is why we see Arceus creates an egg with the help of the unown, the only confirmed egg origin we have in the entire series. (because this is how ALL eggs are made, though since most eggs do not contain primordial Ur-gods not with so much effort and fanfare. It hatches immediately because again, fully formed)
It all fits together. And i'm frankly incredibly surprised i've never seen Lockstin cover it given his boner for medieval esoteric theology and how well videos about where babies come from do.
