>>51721511>That is an exceptionally retarded even for carton fictionMe:
>I keep just ignoring Gamefreak's dumb take of it>Gamefreak's whole thing that the eggs aren't really actually eggs is definitely retardedI'm MORE than aware this is absolutely ridiculous, but it's what we have to work with! It also lends credence to just how different the laws of this world must be.
>what happens if there is NO material around. If it is a clean room? It never hatches? It hatches but without an egg?Never explored! Probably would be considered inhumane to try it. Maybe that's where the other forms are supposed to come from. Maybe they do resort to feeding if they're unable to produce the nest egg thingie.
>The whole point of egg evolution is that during their time in the egg, offspring manages to grown and form enough to be practically independentThat's basically what they're doing by making the nest afterwards.
My guess is that either Elm is a fucking crackhead since that claim apparently comes from him, or Pokemon rely on making nests and when they can't, they take the hard approach.
It's still incredibly difficult to work with and I feel like it's better off to be ignored.
>But that was LONG before.Well, let's take it as far as we can. It probably can't be any further than PLA considering Pokemon are not on ANY good terms with the humans there. Even the natives actively struggle to work with the Pokemon, which wouldn't make sense if they were marrying them.
>NOW there is clearly big differences between themI have shown you evidence that points to the contrary. It's very limited evidence, but none the less the Firebreather and Psychic classes seem to stand in the face of your claims.
On a side note...
>Hell, one side is essentially slaves to the other.A concept that was explored a few times and also plays into my headcanon of Plasma's PMD timeline.
Hey, what's stopping something like Metagross from becoming a Pokemon trainer anyways? They're really intelligent...
