>This Mew argument is literally the only context in which I've ever heard someone claim that the two are even remotely fungible.EXACTLY. That's the joke. The anons Mew gave birth screen cap is the only context in which someone like anon claims a pokemon gave birth and a pokemon laid an egg are fungible in the entire franchise. Why? Because it rendered completely moot the next generation where they explicitly defintion how all pokemon reproduce.
Mew gave birth is at best a continuity error
