Sigh, allow me to present to you a little-known truth about the games and how often it contradicts:
1. The Mew entry in the researcher diary on cinnabar island stated that it gave BIRTH to Mewtwo, and yet the pokedex entry for Mewtwo said that it was more or less the result of a gene-splicing experiment, and gave absolutely no hint that it was the offspring of Mew.
Could I get a link to where it says that please? Im not calling you a liar, I'd just like to read them myself to see if it's open to interperatation.
2. The Pokedex entries stated that Marowak gave childbirth and dies as a result, and yet when you breed a Marowak, not only does it live after breeding, but it lays an egg.
Similar to a previous statement, I dont think the target audience of pre-teen children would appreciate their pokemon dying on them. As an example, look at this thread and imagine how kids like this would act if they got told their poke had died during childbirth lol
3. Cubone's Pokedex entry states that it's skull helmet came from the remains of it's dead mom (Marowak), and yet when a cubone hatches, it also seems to be born with the skull helmet latched onto it's head.
As above. If mom doesnt die, no skull can be taken.
4. Vulpix's pokedex entry stated that it was born pale and with a single tail, but when hatched from the egg, it has it's 6 tails and its normal coat.
Due to the problems with changing the games clock and general lack of processing power, it would not have been easy for GF to recreate this.
5. Kadabra's pokedex entry hints that it was originally a human being, however, from the multitudes of Kadabra (not to mention that it can evolve into another pokemon [Alakazam], and breed to create it's pre-evo [Abra].) it doesn't really seem to be the case.
Something being unrealistic doesnt make it a contradiction. Besides, it only needs to happen once and it can then breed into an entire species.
6. Mew was called the ancestor of all pokemon even in Diamond and Pearl, and yet they mentioned Arceus being the creator of all pokemon.
Ancestor= Old relative, there's a difference. They may of derived from mew, but arceus created mew. Its like how the first life from this planet didnt derive from anything but everything derves from it.
7. And not to mention the multitudes of legendaries despite them being genderless and one of a kind (Emerald battle frontier, anyone? or how about the Colosseum/XD games? or how about FR/LG [there is the part where Entei/Raikou/Suicune are running around Kanto despite the fact that the 3 beasts are not supposed to awake for another 3 years.]?)
That link i gave you explains how there have been multiple sightings of the dogs, Ho-oh ect. It is likely that multiples have been caught accross time. Basically in that thread it was hypothesised that many legends are extremely rare pokes, last of their species etc. The games never stated that they were one-of-a-kind, although if you can find an instance of this I'll happilly admit I'm wrong
I can't really say the same for the manga, but they did state that Misty was some rich lady in one manga, and yet was not mentioned to be that in the games,
Games came first, manga/anime was the contradiction
plus, they made some of the gym leaders rocket members (or ex rocket members, in Blane's case), when, with the exception of Giovanni, it wasn't the case at all in the games.
