>>56122852>Pokemon eggs aren't actually eggs is dumbOther than a nameless NPC stating just that they aren't (NPCs can be wrong you know) and not even elaborating on what exactly they are and how he knows that, there's no evidence that the cradlefag theory holds any weight. He might as well have referenced how babies and incenses work... or worked, before GF scrapped them in some late gen
Sinistea/Polteageist is confirmed to "reproduce" by pouring its tea into an empty pot and various dex entries confirm egg laying for a number of species
>inb4 some faggot links that translated correspondence from Elm aka the worst researcher on the planet, who also called his own take crazyyawn
>It not being the real world anymore is dumbRetconning out of that was dumb, but I can't blame them for moving away from it in the current geopolitical climate. I actually think it's better to keep the setting separate from the real world
>Pokemon just replacing animals is dumbDefinitely agreed there. In Paldea they slice up sapient magical creatures with human level intelligence into chorizo and ham, for example. Why did animals have to go?
