Pokémon breeding: Difference between revisions

We don't actually know that Pokémon LAY Eggs. In fact, we DO know that Eggs are not like normal eggs beyond appearence.
(We don't have an article called "Power items", so it's better to use the term we use elsewhere and add clarifications rather than making up a term just for this sentence.)

* When a Pokémon hatches from an Egg during both [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]], it is at [[level]] 5. However, many Pokémon from the wild can be found between levels 2 and 4, which is below the level of newly hatched Pokémon. This oddity had since been addressed in [[Generation IV]], where all hatched Pokémon started at level 1.

* Despite conventional wisdom, no negative effects occur from inbreeding Pokémon in [[Generation III]] onward. Conversely in [[Generation II]], it is not possible for related Pokémon to produce any Egg with one another, despite related animals in real life still being able to produce offspring despite their genetic relationship; this was simply due to the manner of which [[individual values]] were stored in the [[Generation II]] game's data structure.

* The [[Pokémon Mansion journals]] (which predate Generation II's introduction of breeding) describe Mew giving birth as opposed to laying an Egg. These were not changed in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
