Some aspects and contradictions of breeding in the games have spawned debate and confusion. | Some aspects and contradictions of breeding in the games have spawned debate and confusion. Those Pokémon which breed differently whether holding or not holding an Incense are also popularly debated, most especially if the Incense is necessary in the first place to make an excuse as to why the Baby forms could not be previously obtained. Also, some unusual pairings of Pokémon can be found within the Egg Groups, such as {{p|Sandslash}} and {{p|Arbok}}, or the [[HSOWA|popular example]] of {{p|Wailord}} and {{p|Skitty}}. | ||
One particularly unusual note is that {{p|Nidorina}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}} cannot breed, despite the fact that their pre-evolution and male counterparts can. No reason has been given for this. | One particularly unusual note is that {{p|Nidorina}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}} cannot breed, despite the fact that their [[Nidoran♀ (Pokémon)|pre-evolution]] and male counterparts can.

What's even stranger is that {{P|Manaphy}} is obtained by hatching an egg that is transfered from [[Pokémon Ranger]], but if Manaphy is bred with Ditto, the offspring will be a {{P|Phione}}, who can't evolve into Manaphy. | What's even stranger is that {{P|Manaphy}} is obtained by hatching an egg that is transfered from [[Pokémon Ranger]], but if Manaphy is bred with Ditto, the offspring will be a {{P|Phione}}, who can't evolve into Manaphy. | ||
