>>36473849>Pokemon breeding wasn't codified until Professor Elm's research.Pretty sure this is a case of canon marching on. Wasn't Elm retconned in HG/SS to be an expert on Pokemon breeding patterns, but not that he actually discovered they breed?
>Breeder couple always tells you that they don't know how the egg got there.I've always felt this is to avoid problems with the real life "moral guardians" and not anything having to do with game canon.
>NPC states that Pokemon eggs are closer to cocoons than actual eggs.The specific word that NPC used was "cradle", not "cocoon", and I admit that is something mysterious. But at the same time, if animals supposedly don't exist in the Pokemon universe how would they have a reference for what is and isn't an egg other than Pokemon eggs?
>A hermit crab can breed with a possessed sword.I chalk that one up to game mechanics. Possessed swords breeding at all shouldn't be a thing.
>Kangaskhan hatch with babies already in tow.This makes me wonder why Kangaskhan of all Pokemon didn't get a baby prevo in Gen 2 when it would be the most obvious candidate.
>The ONE time we see an egg produce on-screen it's one of the most unsettling sequences in the franchise.Yes but keep in mind that wasn't just an ordinary egg. That egg contained a god/avatar of universe-governing laws. I'd imagine it's quite a bit different than two Zigzagoon having offspring.
