Literally every single cubone's mother died?

Cubone is just the Pokemon equivalent to every Rogue's backstory in DnD.

The mother's just a ghost after having the egg, apparently they're functional Pokemon according to the Pokeflute quest in Kanto so you'd never notice the difference.

You can breed them, so no.

>>50807361
The could've shed skulls, but dex entry nonsensically specifies that it's "dead mother", so fuck knows. Maybe for them "mother" is some cultural figure in their tribal society not actual parent.

it's not nonsensical, it's the breeding system(created long after the conception of cubone) that's fucking retarded.

Easy out is that technically one could argue that breeding parents can't be confirmed as the actual parents of the Pokemon. Eggs are directly stated to not actually be created by physical reproduction and instead just sorta appear in unobserved spaces when Pokemon are in close proximity and the egg itself is just a makeshift cradle of sorts. So it's possible that eggs are just literal allegories for the stork excuse and every breeding pair are actually just adoptive parents.

it's just bullshit because if you put different pokemon with no compatible egg groups, how they wouldn't produce an egg if the explanation was true

Now you realize that pokemon always had retarded design issues, Sugimori still has a point when he said they make pokemon have some drawback characteristics so they don't look too "tryhardy" but that gets sometimes gets too out-of-hand and leads to either very confusing mons or mons that are simply not fun to have or even look at.

How the fuck is the breeding system to blame? Any breeding system would make cubone entry nonsensical.

Cubone is just the best sign that GF doesn't give a fuck about lore. They easily could fix it by stating in dex that it was/is believed that cubones wear their mother's skull.
Or for more radical approach give cubones/marowaks undiscovered egg group.

Pokemon can inherit moves by just being in proximity, according to gen 8. And maybe the adopters filled out an adoption paper saying they want specific genetics, who are you to argue what the series has canonically stated can't be confirmed even under observation.

The fact that you thought I was legitimately arguing for an unseen Pokemon adoption agency with a stork delivery system says a lot about you. But it's true that Pokemon heritage is unverifiable, and the eggs aren't directly produced from the female in the breeding pair.

No one witnessed pokemon actually laying an egg, it doesn't necessarily mean that the "eggs" are not produced from the female.

Eggs appeared when the "parents" were under observation. Unless you can prove that female Pokemon can remotely give birth on top of not having a gestation period, you can't claim the egg to be produced from them directly.

Link your sources. I don't remember anything close to that stated in the games.

Yep, literally every single one (in-lore).
It's clear Cubone was supposed to be an extremely rare one-of-a-kind monster at first, hence why there's such a narrative focal point on it and Marowak when it comes to Lavender and the Pokemon Tower, but they backed out last minute and made it a regular-ass species.

breeding is not sexual reproduction so the one you leave might not be the mother

They already wrote the world-in-universe to fit the mechanic though, there's nothing you should accept.

it basically say female nidoran becomes sterile upon evolving but the male remains fertile

this book came out right after japanese red and green long before gold and silverbreeding mechanics were a thing. they later programmed it that way to be consistent with this book written by tajiri himself
