Thanks and can you post a new topic about Latias and Latios, Skii?

Should the Latis be able to breed like Manaphy?

~Rene~ December 26th, 2007 7:42 AM

No, I don't think so. Because Latias and Latios can't breed with other Pokemons.

Erm, I don't really understand that question. By "breed," do you mean "create some watered-down version of the bred Pokemon *koff-Phione-koff* just for the PokeDex and truly epic lulz?"

Because if so, I strongly disagree with that question.

txteclipse December 28th, 2007 12:43 AM

About the current question, I think the tradition of no breeding legends should be continued.

As for the Japanese intro to Heroes, I read about it, but I haven't actually seen it. There's no explanation of where the Dew comes from, except that the Latis have it, so we're only left to guessing.

~Rene~ December 28th, 2007 2:16 AM

Nice answers, everyone. I will post some pictures of Latias and Latios later.

~Rene~ :t025:

Eruption December 28th, 2007 3:12 AM

I suppose Phione is just copied off Manaphy.

A baby of the Latis could look different though.

I am not sure about a baby Latias/Latios. Does it need one, Skii?

~Rene~ :t025:

Eruption December 28th, 2007 3:37 AM

Nope it doesnt need one.

I was just being more detailed with the topic.

I see, I agree with you. Because the Latis can't breed.

You know, this topic is making me realize that Nintendo is quite contradictory about the tendencies of the Latis. Although one cannot breed the Latis in the games, there's evidence (even in the games) to say otherwise.

Here's a quote from the Emerald PokeDex about Latias:

"They make a small herd of only several members. They rarely make contact with people or other Pokémon. They disappear if they sense enemies."

The unedited Japanese version of Pokemon Heroes also shows more than one of each Lati in the legend described in the movie's first two minutes.

The only logical explanation for this is seems to be that the Latis cannot or will not breed in captivity. If we really want to get scientific, I know a story about how a wealthy man kept several cheetahs of both genders in captivity. However, for some reason, the cheetahs lived long lives and died without breeding.

The reason behind this was that because they were caged, the female cheetahs could not run. Apparently, running causes the female cheetahs to ovulate, allowing the species to breed.

Do you guys think that something like that applies to the Latis and maybe even a few other Legendaries?

Yeesh! Sorry for the inactivity guys, recent computer upgrades meant I was very busy and my internet was inaccessible ^.^;

Well, I wish they could breed, but they cant, and they have a legitimate reason not to (gameplay-wise, that is). Being legendaries ("good" legendaries, not like Manaphy), they are already powerful when you catch them. Because you only see them once in your game, their stats and nature are random, and if youre lucky, then you get a good legendary. But if you could breed them, then you could breed to get the perfect nature, moveset, IVs, etc. and they'd be too powerful desu~ And then also their rarity would be diminished. =/

From just a non-gameplay standpoint, yes, I think so, because all surviving species of sentient beings can breed (unless they're immortal o_0, which, we already know, the Latis are not), and they all need to breed to keep the species and gene pool alive. It's basic Biology! D:

~Rene~ December 29th, 2007 9:18 PM

Nice answer, Ratiasu-kun. I will post the next topic now. Here's one:
Did you use your Latias/Latios in battles or contests?

~Rene~ :t025:

txteclipse December 30th, 2007 9:32 PM

I know I do. I have a level 100 Latias pretty much permanently in my party. It doesn't have that great of IV's or any EV training, but it has a rather nice moveset and can still bring on the pain.

~Rene~ December 31st, 2007 2:45 AM

Did you use your Latias/Latios in battles or contests?
No, I haven't caught a Latios yet in Emerald.

~Rene~ :t025:

Skymin December 31st, 2007 3:49 AM

I'm so close to catching a Latios! So, no, not yet.

Eruption December 31st, 2007 3:57 AM

Why taunt me with these 'Did you use your Lati In...?' topics. :(

Sorry, Skii. I will change the topic about Latias and Latios.

~Rene~ :t025:

Eruption December 31st, 2007 4:13 AM

No need.
I was joking.

Still wish I had a Lati though.

Okay, I see. Did you caught a Latias or Latios already, Skii?

~Rene~ :t025:

txteclipse January 3rd, 2008 1:50 PM

Sweet! Look at this theme! Finally the Lati's get some recognition!

I take it Forest Grovyle drew these? Going to have to go see what's with the sudden Latification of...well...everything.

Volta. January 3rd, 2008 8:49 PM

Hm.. are we looking at the one titled, "Forest Grovyle's Legendaries" then? Heh, Ive been using that since forever! I wouldnt notice any change in theme cause I always use that one desu~ ^_^

After logging out and resetting my cookies, it looks like they have defaulted to this one for a bit! 'Probably just changing things up a little. I still wish they'd fix that multi-Quote button, though...

Yes, I saw it just now. I like the Latis theme made by Forest Grovyle.

Eruption January 4th, 2008 5:39 AM

I saw it too. It looks great but I prefer the Azure Sky skin.
