>>48929006>>48929095>How the fuck are you going to tell the gender of a starfish or a living magnet?The issue with your argument is that it doesn't account for every species. Some really would fit the criteria of "how does this thing multiply" quite well and may be a mystery, but others that are more grounded like Growlithe, Skitty, or any other closer to real world biological fauna would have to logically reproduce in the standard way. They eat, sleep, and even excrete in the stadard biological way, so to breed, which is one of our most powerful natural impulses should follow.
We also know from many different examples that Pokemon do feel sexual attraction as well, something which would be possible without the natural parts & hormones to make it so.
