Gender: Difference between revisions
→Pokémon: Regardless of whether this affects the talk page discussion of the final subheader's title, gender differences are fundamentally different from everything else in this section and do not belong on an equal footing with the rest.
(→Gender-based evolution: It's hideous because of how long this template is. Making the pictures smaller so it takes up less space.) |

[[Generation IV]] premiered minimal differences in sprite between two Pokémon of the same species. For example, a male {{p|Raichu}} will have the full tail seen in previous games, while the female is missing the very tip of it. [[Generation V|Generations V]] and {{gen|VI}} would introduce Pokémon with more drastic differences in appearance. | [[Generation IV]] premiered minimal differences in sprite between two Pokémon of the same species.

The Nidoran family is a special case in terms of gender. Introduced in [[Generation I]], before gender was known for all Pokémon, {{p|Nidoran♀}} and {{p|Nidoran♂}} are considered separate species of Pokémon and indeed have many differences, from appearance to moveset. However, all Nidoran Eggs have a 50/50 chance of hatching into either Nidoran♀ or Nidoran♂, confirming that they are related. | The Nidoran family is a special case in terms of gender.

In a manner similar to {{p|Nidoran}}, Eggs produced by {{p|Illumise}} may hatch into {{p|Volbeat}}. While {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} are in the {{egg2|Undiscovered}} in the games, likely due to being [[legendary Pokémon]], Latias have produced Eggs containing {{OBP|Latios|M05}} in the anime, confirming that they are similarly related. | In a manner similar to {{p|Nidoran}}, Eggs produced by {{p|Illumise}} may hatch into {{p|Volbeat}}.
