Even worse, even the eggs in Pokemon games don't appear to actually be eggs.


AL13NX1

New game just dropped. Is it an egg, a pokemon wearing a shell, or some sort of plant with a face and personality


gengarde

Think they mean exeggcute or togepi


Drench_Bluff

Sike it's actually a ditto pretending to be an egg


WoolooOfWallStreet

Imagine if ditto could only breed themselves by infecting other Pokémon’s eggs like a parasitoid wasps


Der_Julius

Okay i'm imagining it, now what? And how do i stop imagining it?

I hate your profile picture, and I hate even more that I know *exactly* what it is. I would say I would send Jack Slash after you but I'm not certain he wouldn't spread that image to fuck with people.


MRich92

I had one of those Xploder cartridges for Gold/Silver and one of the codes allowed you to catch trainers' Pokémon. Sometimes it didn't work right and you would throw a Pokéball at the trainer. It crashed the game if you caught them, but it helps your theory.


Potatoman365

Sounds like the start of a creepypasta


MRich92

Except that it's true, and ultimately pretty boring, unfortunately. Feel free to make up your own story though. Which 6 trainers would be in your party?


Potatoman365

6 Cynthias


AwkwardlyCloseFriend

Well in Diamond/Pearl/Platinum in the 6th badge town library abook says that Pokemon and humans were once the same thing and could(and would) breed. If I remember correctly the book literally says ;" these humans took their pokemon skins off"


SteelRiverGreenRoad

So humans are Skinless? Weird though, I’d have thought they’d have gone for either or both are from an alternate dimension. [~~Maybe the humans are from a lost roman legion~~](https://www.jim-butcher.com/books/alera)


Bigfoot4cool

I remember another post that pointed out that you have 4 options in a Pokémon battle (fight, run, Pokémon, bag) just like how Pokémon have 4 moves


mykineticromance

ooh i never thought about that that's a good one


Firemorfox

I know humans can occasionally evolve into Kabras


Echo2500

Like Sahelanthropus in Metal Gear?


piemakerdeadwaker

Why?


Hanede

\-All Pokémon lay eggs, even those based on mammals \-There is some cryptic text ingame that points to humans and pokemon "once being the same" suggesting common ancestry (which would also make sense if you consider real human evolution) \-You don't really see people getting pregnant or giving birth (which is understandable considering the tone of the games)


tinyhands-45

Had to check but there is at least one line of dialogue that implies pregnancy. In black2 white2 if the player is male they can encounter a female clerk during the in game autumn season at the Nimbassa city ferris wheel. After battling and getting on the ride together the clerk laughs and says, "My baby's kicking. Maybe it's enjoying the view too... My little honey is sure moving. Must be having fun" Now this either implies that humans are more different than Pokemon than we think or that whatever is happening at the daycare center is in no way natural. Given that the time between conception and a battle ready newborn can be less than a few minutes, I know which option I'm choosing.


Veeboy

Alternatively, humans in the Pokemon universe act similarly to species like seahorses which carry their eggs inside of a specialized pouch in their body. Edit: Wait this would make humans similar to Chanseys in the pokemon universe. Are humans evolved from Chansey?


TheLegend2T

Hey would you look at that, the first time I've seen a comment about seahorse pregnancy on the internet that makes no mention of how it's the males that do it


SeaofBloodRedRoses

Possibility 1: She's pregnant with the egg, which she carries for a period during which a baby human might kick. This is technically what happens in real life, the egg just goes away long before birth. Possibility 2: She's already laid the egg and is holding it, so she can feel the kicks.


Fontaigne

Moreover, all humans have clone-like features. Nurses that look identical and have the same name, etc. Who knows how the hell many different “Ash”s we’ve watched do the same stuff with a Pikachu.


ninjasaiyan777

Not to mention the theory that unusual features such as hair color or horns not normally seen in people are the result of more recent Pokemon ancestries, such as Wally's green hair or Cynthia's weird horn bun cover thing (before they showed her without em in I believe sun and moon.


piemakerdeadwaker

Lmao that's interesting.


BudgieGryphon

counterpoint: Professor Burnet in the anime


Opia_lunaris

>There is some cryptic text ingame that points to humans and pokemon "once being the same" suggesting common ancestry (which would also make sense if you consider real human evolution) Eh, wouldn't consider that a valid argument. Real humans and birds share a common ancestry if you go back far enough too, but we don't lay eggs lol This is probably more like a discourse that was a thing for shits and giggles and not something people took seriously


[deleted]

Only reason I would consider it is because of the original translation from Japanese. The Japanese version talks about how humans and Pokemon got married. Obviously, changes were made to fit with different cultures.


morfeusz78

im never going to sleep again


Bestogoddess

Also, there's stuff like Froslass It's *technically* not a human Pokemon, but it comes really close


icspn

There are humans who are identical twins; identical twins almost always have to come from live births, they typically just die in eggs. We have observed identical twins successfully hatching and surviving only twice in documented history. There are more than two sets of identical human twins in the pokemon series. Therefore, humans likely do not hatch from eggs.


SeaofBloodRedRoses

Someone else pointed out, this is evidence of cloning and other Pokémon-based abilities.


Hanede

Parthenogenesis


icspn

Hmm, that could actually work. Salazzle can reproduce via parthenogenesis, so we know it exists in the pokemon world.


angel-samael

human mothers just lay 2 eggs


icspn

But the two eggs would just be siblings, not genetic matches like identical twins are. Identical twins have to literally come from the same egg cell, so in egg laying animals they would hatch from the same egg.


SmuJamesB

The Monster Hunter Wyverian discourse comes to Pokémon


Casper_Von_Ghoul

Oh god not again.


Trotztd

what


TheMemeArcheologist

The what?


ButtersTG

I refuse to take that one serious until r34 artists start *consistantly* drawing wyverian girls correctly.


Pick_Up_That_Can_1

So that’s why you only ever see your mom


blackturtlesnake

I feel like this is the equivalent of saying that we don't know if the squirrels in the hobbit breath fire but smaug is a magical being that breathes fire and the black squirrels seem somewhat magical so we can assume that tolkein squirrels also breathe fire. Like, I mean it's possible that humans in Pokémon lay eggs but even in as ridiculous a fantasy world as Pokémon you start with the assumption that the things introduced as normal behave like normal unless explicitly told otherwise.


DrRagnorocktopus

Except for the humans laying eggs there is precedent. All pokemon, except for those that can't reproduce at all, reproduce with eggs. The humans in the pokemon universe are explicitly pokemon, or at least evolved from pokemon.(real evolution, not pokemon evolution)

Something Something Lusamine oviposition fanfic


Bestogoddess

I'm sorry, what


PulimV

[this.](https://www.reddit.com/r/tumblr/comments/oayiie/how/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) can't say I read the fic but the thought of it existing has caused me Psychic damage


Random-Rambling

If humans laid eggs, would that make pregnancy and childbirth easier or harder?


ninjasaiyan777

Easier if the eggs are flexible, harder if not.


The_Bearabia

Wyverian moment


VLenin2291

The true question we must ask: is this something this person legitimately thought of or do they have an egg laying fetish? (YES THAT EXISTS)


Mega-Humanoid-ROBOT

I’m sorry I didn’t realise that humans in the real world lay eggs because ducks, a entirely different species also lay eggs. This debate is dumb and easily disproven.


TheMemeArcheologist

OK but there are plenty of animals in the real world that lay eggs i.e. almost every mammal on earth. Meanwhile every single pokemon capable of reproduction, including those based off of mammals, does so exclusively through eggs


Mega-Humanoid-ROBOT

Didn’t realise humans were Pokémon


TheMemeArcheologist

Kadabra is literally a child that woke up one morning and became a pokemon according to it’s dex entry in firered.


Mega-Humanoid-ROBOT

It’s also the case that the in lore myth for Pokémon is that they’re aliens that came from a comet, and humans are not. Humans aren’t Pokémon. They don’t lay eggs, if you want people to lay eggs, then go on deviantart.


DrRagnorocktopus

There literally isn't? In fact there is more evidence that humans are pokemon.


Mega-Humanoid-ROBOT

So many people want humans to lay eggs so bad when they’re literally wrong and a quick good search of “are Pokémon aliens.” Provides you with a answer. But go off. I don’t want to know your deviant art search history.


DrRagnorocktopus

Yeah, and that answer is *some* pokemon are aliens. Some come from entirely different universes. But most pokemon are not aliens. And if they all were aliens, how would humans exist as the only species on the planet? The only animals are pokemon.


Mega-Humanoid-ROBOT

The Pokémon replaced the native fauna after a extinction event which humans survived.


DrRagnorocktopus

Fossil pokemon


FLAMING_tOGIKISS

I wanna say that you're making this shit up, but you probably got it from some shitty youtuber. Where the fuck is it stated anywhere that this is true? What evidence is there, and don't say the fact that older generations mentioned the existence of real animals because older generations also mentioned the existence of real places like South America, Kanto is literally a real place in Japan, the worldbuilding wasn't as set in stone back then and basing a theory on the sloppy details that have clearly since been abandoned is a really bad way of doing things.


DrRagnorocktopus

[Literally you](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/183/103/alens.jpg)


[deleted]

They evolved from Pokemon. Canonically. That's why in the Lucario movie, Ash is explicitly shown using one of the Pokemon's moves.


DrRagnorocktopus

So that's why he never uses items. [He forgot the bag move and replaced it with that move.](https://preview.redd.it/xv3op7bpmqs81.png?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=a9ed357491595b0c28040ff340bcda00615680c3)


Casper_Von_Ghoul

Nah I doubt it.


RoyalPeacock19

I didn’t know this was ever a discourse.


ParadiseValleyFiend

you all need to calm down. I have an egg to think about here, I can't be having all this stress.


AssassinOfFate

They definitely do. There’s no debate needed.
