Odd mating pairs..?
 
Okay, I dunno if this has been discussed before. I did a search but did not find anything.

I was sitting here, playing Sapphire, and I left my male Torkoal at the Day Care Centre. I already had a female Sandshrew there. When you talk to the guy outside, he says they don't really like each other, but after a while, he's got an egg for me. At first, I thought there had to be some mistake. I accepted the egg and went on my way, but when I came back a while later, there was another egg.

I'm wondering, a Torkoal and a Sandshrew? How is that possible, and what kind of baby would come from that? This ever happen to anyone else?

Alexithymia~ May 22nd, 2009 11:05 PM

It is possible.
A sandshrew/Torkoal.
Yes. :D

The egg groups don't have to make sense, we're playing a Pokemon game XD Nothing else makes sense.

Theta Sigma May 22nd, 2009 11:14 PM

Heh, apparently. I'm carrying one of the eggs around to see what hatches from it. Baby Torshrews, anyone? :o

white lancer May 22nd, 2009 11:22 PM

How about some Hot Skitty on Wailord action? ;)

The egg groups are just so strange I sometimes think they just drew them out of a hat to determine it. You could pair together, say, a Diglett and a Ninetails, or a Mareep and a Shiftry. There are too many strange combinations to list.

Definately Skitty on Wailord.
I mean, how could something so tiny can... well yea... with something so huge?

I mean in Pokemon, fishes turn into octopi and rabbits turn into playboy bunnies XD

lolwut May 23rd, 2009 8:26 PM

Yeah, pretty much none of the egg groups make any sense, just like the skitty-wailord pair a bunch of people mentioned above.

Well...try to MALE Pikachu O_o
I'm being 100% serious here, too. I got about three eggs from two MALE PIKACHU.
...only one of the eggs ever hatched though.

Those were probably the results of hacks...

Doubtful. Everything on my Sapphire version works properly, and the fact that I bought it from a legit store(K Mart) and not a used game store like a flea market/GameStop lowers the chance of it being a hack. That's the only out of place thing that has ever happened, and it was only once(I've had my Sapphire version for about five years, and this happened about four years ago). It was probably some sort glitch.

Yea it was probably a glitch, then.

Theta Sigma May 23rd, 2009 10:22 PM

Heh. Well, the first egg turned out to be a Sandshrew. I wonder if it's because the mother was a Sandshrew, or is it random?

If the latter's the case, I'd ought to drop off my new Absol with something. Hehe, 'twas my first time running into an Absol EVER. It was love at first sight, he was so beautiful. <3 :P

its weird how Wailord and Rattata can have kids,


:t354:TG

It's odd, but it works. As long as the two loves each other, deep inside, it'll work. This is what happens in real life relationship, so I don't see what's wrong with it in the Pokémon game. :P

Until they realize that the parts don't fit because their egg groups are incompatible.
But forget that. Ditto on ANYTHING.
HOW DOES THAT WORK.

BLARGH *Couch* Cheesy *Cough*

No, it's all somewhat logical, if you turn it around and think about it, in a warped sense of mind.. Well, if we know what happens when two people... express their love... Why shouldn't a tiny cat have children with a whale? They are both Mammals.

Awwwww :9

Love truely knows no boundaries. Just take Pokemon for example.

Micro May 24th, 2009 6:46 PM

Wailord and Skitty are definitely the oddest mating pairs, but I guess size doesn't matter, it's Pokemon. :P

It's not random. Whatever Pokemon the mother is, that will be the kind of Pokemon the baby will be too. The moves are gotten from the father.

Anyway, it all depends on the parents' egg groups. If both Pokemon are lets say, in the Fairy egg group, they can breed.

Anddd....
I don't think in-game sprites have feelings, not to be rude or anything....

The Ditto transforms into the other guy before they.
But that also makes me wonder why a Mew/Smeargle with Transform can't breed with everything.

The Pokemon that is in the egg will always be the female of the pair. Where as, the male with pass down egg moves.

Well, according to Ditto's Pokedex entry in DPPt, "It has the ability to reconstitute its entire cellular structure to transform into whatever it sees."

I'm pretty sure other Pokemon with Transform can only copy the appearance of another Pokemon.

castform and shuppet i think is a weird combination and castform is normal type and shuppet is a ghost type.

consider normal moves do not hit ghost pokemon and ghost moves do not hit normal pokemon.

so if you ignore changing form the two should not even be able to touch each other

there fore not BREED

( This goes for any ghost pokemon with castform)
