In ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]'', it was shown where starter Pokémon come from. Each region has special breeding grounds for starter Pokémon. The [[Pokémon League]] sends these breeders the Pokémon eggs for them to hatch at secret breeding grounds. The breeders then hatch, care for, and raise the young Pokémon until they are ready to be proper starter Pokémon for new Trainers. As these young ones are virtually defenseless, the locations of breeding grounds (or even the knowledge of their existence) is a secret unknown to most in the [[Pokémon world]]. This is likely to guard against unscrupulous individuals or groups (such as [[Team Rocket]]) from poaching the young Pokémon. | In ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]'', it was shown where starter Pokémon come from.
