>>31596064The armchair biologist in me says 'maybe'. If there was no crossbreeding between species or even just egg-groups or they never had games mechanics for breeding (distressing, I know) then it would be easy to argue that reproductive systems are the same as the closest real world animal. (e.g. fish would be egg scatterers, mammals would have PIV breeding, reptiles and kaiju would probably have hemipenes with potential for parthenogenesis). However, we do have game mechanics and here is what we know:
> 1. pokemon lay eggs> 2. the eggs can be easily carried> 3. the species of pokemon is 100% determined by the mother BUT the father has to contribute something because IV and moves pass down> 4. pokemon can crossbreed between egg-groupsBecause of 4. all breedable pokemon have the same genital structure and differences in egg groups are either behavioral or genetic. Because of 3. we know there is some genetic material that passes from father to mother. Because of 2. I would assume the mother carries the egg with her for a long enough period to calcify the outside of the egg, coupled with my previous assumption means there is some kind of . That spermipositor is probably, not necessarily, a penis.
