I don't understand this shit, are they the same Pokemon? Are they both Kangaskhan? Are they different Pokemon?
If I hatch a Kangaskhan egg and they're born at the same time, aren't they supposed to be twins? Then why are they still treated as parent and child?
I don't understand, it's too confusing.

Game mechanics are at odds with the lore of many Pokemon, and Kangaskhan is one of them.

It's in the fucking Pokedex

>It raises its offspring in its belly pouch. It lets the baby out to play only when it feels safe.
If you come across a young Kangaskhan playing by itself, you must never disturb it or attempt to catch it. The baby Pokémon's parent is sure to be in the area, and it will become violently enraged at you.
>The child in its pouch leaves home after roughly three years. That is the only time the mother is heard to cry wildly.

They're an adult Kangaskhan and a baby Kangaskhan. The baby leaves when it turns three and grows up into an adult Kangaskhan like its mother.

There isn't anything confusing about it. It's just that, a baby Kangaskhan. Instead of evolving, it grows up like a regular animal. This is a simple concept that anyone should be able to grasp.

It existed before eggs were a concept. The best solution would have been for there to be no baby when hatched but then have it immediately on Kangaskhan when you next use it

Except when a Kangaskhan hatches from an egg, it already has the baby, and the phenomenon you describe is completely unobservable. Also, the PokeDex is full of shit, Richard.

It wouldn't be in the fucking game if it wasn't true. We're told that and shown that it's a baby Kangaskhan, therefore it is.

due to her being a reptile as well as her size, a kangaskhan mother could easily swallow her baby whole

No it doesn't. That's just game mechanics.

Game Freak writes the games with the assumption the lower comprehension level they're aimed at are children who just learned to read, which results on them being hard for the pokemon fanbase.

Its not being born there.

I call the little kangashkan kangcub just to differentiate between the two.
I know that pokemon always treat them both as one pokemon, but I feel they are two separate pokemons. Otherwise, the whole Cubone - Marowak thing will make you eat your head in anger, trying to understand.

Do you get annoyed about other metaphorical game mechanics like level systems and characters talking about the start button in RPGs? It's still a GAME and the "game pieces" can't always match what would "really" be happening.

They only use one sprite/model of a Kangaskhan in the game, just like with most other Pokemon. They're not going to make separate sprites for "just hatched" Pokemon because people don't understand that the sprite/model of the Pokemon is just a representation of the standard adult form.

Or to simplify: if you were playing some kind of complex board game, and you said "I breed these two Kangaskhan to get another Kangaskhan", and your friend passes you a Kangaskhan tile, you're not gonna complain that the picture on the tile is that of an adult Kangaskhan.

If I remember correctly the eggs are more akin to cradles that the Pokemon reside in until they're strong enough to survive on their own. That's why most Pokemon are able to breed fresh out of the egg.

Pichu is a pre-evo. All Pikachu are born as Pichu.

Kangaskhan's baby was already referred to as a Kangaskhan, so that's what it is. Kangaskhan starts out as this, grows into an adult Kangaskhan, and then has a baby of its own. Incredibly easy to understand.

They're not saying it's ambiguous whether it's Kangaskhan's child or not. They're saying it's left ambiguous whether the baby and the mother are related by blood or not. Like how in the Zoroark movie, Zorua is explicitly stated to be Zoroark's adopted child, not her biological one. It's to skirt around the subject of sex.

So it would be ok to me to make latios and latias smut? I mean, it's a profitable loophole here.

Somebody sell me a revive then, I need to test what crazy pokemon will I get if I use 2 on a ghost pokemon.

Ghost Pokemon aren't dead, and "revives" are only called that because of Gen 1 name limitations. In Japanese, they're called "Vitality Fragments". What they do is restore the energy of a Pokemon that's too tired to battle. Think of them as the Pokemon equivalent of Senzu Beans.
