Wailord+Diglett=EGG?

*shakes head.* The largest Pokemon and one of the smallest Pokemon having an egg...

Poor Diglett...
 
Actually, people knew about Wailord breeding with Diglett, but HSOWA is still more popular.

NONE of the Pokemon, including Muk, have to "touch" anything to produce an egg.

Except whatever is fertilizing any egg that Muk lays, given the fact that it leaves trails of bacteria and such all over the place, meaning the mate is dead if it got close to anything Muk left behind.

Also, it depends on how the egg is fertilized. If fertilized outside of the body (which really only happens in water-dwelling animals in actual biology... and even then, not all water-dwelling animals do it that way), then, yes, it's just a matter of the male squirting his stuff all over the egg. If fertilized internally (a la most animals -- including, yes, birds and reptiles that afterwards lay the egg... because otherwise, the sperm wouldn't penetrate the hard outer shell), then you're still looking at two animals getting it on. The fun thing about Pokémon is that it never specifies which method the little buggers use, not that we particularly want to know.

Yes, I'm a geek. Just in case you wanted to point that out.

Probably because even if Diglett is a tiny ground-type, it's just not as funny as imagining a male pink Pokémon like Skitty on a huge female Wailord. *shrug*

It's an egg. Eggs come from only the female, so why do you need the male?

For fertilization, duh.

That's true, I just thought that Diglett would be more popular considering we never see it come out of the ground.
 
Well I tried this last night and it didn't take me long to get the egg!
​
 
That...is just messed up. I feel sorry for the Diglett. XD
I don't know what is worse though, Diglett and Wailord or Skitty and Wailord. :P Wouldn't it die before an egg would be made? XD
 
I'm scared on all sorts of levels...Diglett shoving it's very small dinghy up Wailord's...man I shouldn't be even talking.

As mentioned, Pokemon do not sexually reproduce. According to the game and show, Celebi appears whenever two "compatible" Pokemon are together and leaves them an egg to take care of. Assume the eggs are/were spontaneously generated by Arceus/Mew.

This is the answer people.

Actually, looking at the 'dex entries for Celebi, it says it brings an egg -- only when it appears deep in a forest. It never actually specifies that this is how breeding works in general, and even then, the egg would have had to come from somewhere. I'm not sure where in the anime it states that Celebi's essentially the stork, either. The fourth movie didn't establish this as far as I know, and I don't recall it being mentioned in an episode.

So, yeah, sorry, but it's actually not established that it works this way.

Edit: For further analysis, the 'dex entry that mentions eggs, as pulled from Silver:

When Celebi disappears deep in a forest, it is said to leave behind an egg from the future.

If anything, it actually implies that the egg was taken from a nest in the future, not that it was magically bestowed upon two compatible pokémon by a legendary. Even then, given the fact that Celebi's a rare sighting in the games, it's more implied that this is a rare occasion. Any other explanation that the games offer as to how the egg came to be is that it simply "appeared" and that the caretakers "don't know how the player's pokémon got it."

Screw that crud with Celebi. That is just something they put in there to make it "kid friendly." All of us here know how it really goes down. XD

Leaves them an egg.. pssht. I really doubt that was Nintendo's big plan for breeding. And since when do people take stuff from the show seriously?

And what game did you hear that from? I am curious. If it is Gen 3 then it is possible it says that but any other gen and you are lying. =]

*Points up.* I like this person. I agree. Which is why I say poor diglett... Oh well, some like them big! LOL

Seriously though, the breeding is weird, but it does make some cool movesets. I have a Lv. 100 Adamant Muk that knows Focus Punch, Shadow Sneak, Poison Jab, and Substitute. It works really well!

So what you're saying is that you're going to ignore a concept that the game designers intentionally placed in the game to answer a question about Pokemon reproduction... and then bring up fallacies regarding Pokemon reproduction.

Just because you don't like an answer doesn't mean it's invalid.
 
Yup, Wailord + Diglett = Egg

When Gold & Silver was first introduce, you will run into Day Care Center before you can head to Goldenrod. One of the day care people would say, "we have no idea where the eggs come from." lol, have anyone ever told them about sexual education before? omg, those were some good days.

Yes we all know that the Pokemon world do not sexual reproduce. wtf? lol.

You'll see this a lot: random people in the games like to remind you that no one has ever seen Pokemon breeding or laying eggs (e.g., that one girl in Solacea Town). As far as the Day Care people are concerned, that quote should be enough to illustrate that there most likely isn't any sex involved. I would like to think that at least one of them keeps an eye on the Pokemon they're in charge of, and would thus notice any sexual activity. If the Pokemon are just friendly, and all of a sudden an egg appears between them, I'd probably say "I don't know where that egg came from".

I think the problem here is that y'all are trying to relate Pokemon to IRL animals... which is a big mistake. Do you think real-world rules apply to a universe that was created by a freaking goat?

Yeah, when you are playing games, they will tell you about hints. Just like the library from the Sinnoh region.
Don't get me wrong. I like games that are different from real life as well. Games like Gears of War and Call of Duty does show realistic themes to our nature. But to be honest, I lose interest to games that are realistic in our nature. To me, it just shows repetition, so I play them in rare occaions. I love fantasy games the best. You got a good point that Pokemon doen't always have to link in real life. I just think it is humorous that what they did with Pokemon about the breeding idea with Celebi. Because of that, it me felt entertain. By the way, I prefer Arceus as a raindeer then a freaking goat.
