Hey, it's been a while since I was here. Nice to see this thread's lasted longer than the last few threads, but it's sure been moving slow.
>>35915172I'm usually hesitant to go against canon, so I prefer to stick with the way breeding's presented in-game. Sure, there are some details about Pokemon breeding that don't make much sense from a real-life perspective, but at the same time, it's important to remember that the Pokemon world isn't Earth, so it doesn't have to obey real-life logic. For instance, while a cow and bull producing an egg would be hella bizarre, it may actually be normal for a Miltank and Tauros. Since we're dealing with a fictional universe, I see no problem with the idea that all Pokemon (or at least, most of them) reproduce via eggs.
Offspring always taking after the mother is another matter. If this were true, then male-only species would die out within a single generation unless they found Ditto to mate with. With that in mind, I consider it acceptable to break from canon a bit and say that offspring can take after the father's species sometimes.
>How do mono-gender reproduce?Easy: find compatible mates outside their species, which doesn't seem like it'd be a problem in the Pokemon world. The only other option would be to make like whiptail lizards and reproduce asexually, but I don't think any mono-gender Pokemon have demonstrated that ability before.
>>35944873>healthcareIt's free in the sense that trainers don't need to pay when healing their Pokemon at the PMC, but the money required to run the place would have to come from somewhere. I guess it'd come from taxes, donations, or revenue from Pokemarts.
>hospitalsThey're probably separated, just like how animals aren't treated at human hospitals in real life.
>virusesI'm sure some diseases can be transmitted between Pokemon and humans.
>>35945204>Vice-versa, not sure, does that even happen irl?It does, and it's called "anthroponosis"
