Another change introduced in Emerald is the ability to inherit [[nature]], which also influences stats. If the mother (or Ditto) is holding an {{evostone|Everstone}}, the baby has a 50% chance of inheriting that Pokémon's nature. It should be noted that Ditto always acts as the "mother" in a breeding match-up, so in Emerald, a female breeding with a Ditto does not have a better chance of passing down natures to its offspring; the Ditto does. | Another change introduced in Emerald is the ability to inherit [[nature]], which also influences stats.

In [[Generation IV]], in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, inheriting natures remains the same as in Emerald. However, in the Johto remakes, HeartGold and SoulSilver, inheriting nature was changed a little. Whichever Pokémon is holding an {{evostone|Everstone}} will pass down its nature, regardless of gender, or whether it is breeding with a Ditto.<ref>[http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?p=5667076 Everstone breeding working on males] - PokéCommunity forums</ref> Another minor change that is present in all Generation IV games, is that the passing on of natures via an Everstone will not work if the Pokémon are from different real-world countries (e.g. Argentina and Spain). This restriction is lifted in Generation V. <ref name="guide">[http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3322452&postcount=664 RNG Research] - Smogon fourms</ref> | In [[Generation IV]], in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, inheriting natures remains the same as in Emerald.
