>>56123888>Its just an entry broOh, you want more? I have more, in addition to pic related.
>Elm's statementLess than a hypothesis, which he said himself. Still Elm is a clueless monkey who spent his entire life studying breeding and he has never seen how an egg is made.
>A nameless NPC stating it is more evidence than a sex obsessed poketuber.I have no idea who you're referring to, but multiple entries spanning nine generations of games explicitly state about laying eggs.
If NPCs are never wrong then Dialga is a mythical Pokémon. NPCs are in-universe characters stating what they believe. Pokedex is the game's developers conveying information to you.
>Yes, but the process of the daycare/picnic eggs is a different thing.So you're saying that Polteageist can reproduce in a different way, but no Pokémon in the universe is capable of laying eggs, even if they're literal birds and despite dex entries stating they do? Fucking hell, you're retarded.
>realfag thinks there were no geopolitical tensions in the 90s.You know what I mean, disingenuous fag.
>>56123910>Chansey lay eggs>Goldeen lay eggs>Durant lay eggs>Nidoran lay eggsNPCs are clueless. There is more evidence of Arceus creating eggs than there is of creation of "cradles". The process itself, as you are presenting it, would be impossible not to be noticed. Pokémon involved would need to go around and gather ingredients, put them together, wrap their baby in them, solidify the mass in some way and then be done. A mother laying an egg would take significantly less time than that, and much more sense. Because, you know, plenty of species don't have hands to do the actions above. Assembling a cradle is literally impossible to a lot of them.
>Pokemon reproduce via different methodsYes.
>The “Pokemon eggs” you carry in your party are [SCHIZO HEADCANON]Evidence or fuck off.
