Cubone is just the Pokemon equivalent to every Rogue's backstory in DnD.
Now you realize that pokemon always had moronic design issues, Sugimori still has a point when he said they make pokemon have some drawback characteristics so they don't look too "tryhardy" but that gets sometimes gets too out-of-hand and leads to either very confusing mons or mons that are simply not fun to have or even look at.
>breed cubone
>the skull is still on despite his mother being alive
WHAT THE HELL
The mother's just a ghost after having the egg, apparently they're functional Pokemon according to the Pokeflute quest in Kanto so you'd never notice the difference.
You can breed them, so no.
The could've shed skulls, but dex entry nonsensically specifies that it's "dead mother", so frick knows. Maybe for them "mother" is some cultural figure in their tribal society not actual parent.
it's not nonsensical, it's the breeding system(created long after the conception of cubone) that's fricking moronic.
Easy out is that technically one could argue that breeding parents can't be confirmed as the actual parents of the Pokemon. Eggs are directly stated to not actually be created by physical reproduction and instead just sorta appear in unobserved spaces when Pokemon are in close proximity and the egg itself is just a makeshift cradle of sorts. So it's possible that eggs are just literal allegories for the stork excuse and every breeding pair are actually just adoptive parents.
it's just bullshit because if you put different pokemon with no compatible egg groups, how they wouldn't produce an egg if the explanation was true
Same reason not every couple can adopt, they don't meet the qualifications.
so basically homosexuals
And inherited IV and moves are pure coincidence? That's a really weak theory.
Pokemon can inherit moves by just being in proximity, according to gen 8. And maybe the adopters filled out an adoption paper saying they want specific genetics, who are you to argue what the series has canonically stated can't be confirmed even under observation.
I'm sure you felt how weak your theory is yourself by the end of writing that post.
The fact that you thought I was legitimately arguing for an unseen Pokemon adoption agency with a stork delivery system says a lot about you. But it's true that Pokemon heritage is unverifiable, and the eggs aren't directly produced from the female in the breeding pair.
No one witnessed pokemon actually laying an egg, it doesn't necessarily mean that the "eggs" are not produced from the female.
Eggs appeared when the "parents" were under observation. Unless you can prove that female Pokemon can remotely give birth on top of not having a gestation period, you can't claim the egg to be produced from them directly.
>Eggs appeared when the "parents" were under observation.
Link your sources. I don't remember anything close to that stated in the games.
Its on the Gen 2 zukan, which was translated here.
What's the current archive?
How the frick is the breeding system to blame? Any breeding system would make cubone entry nonsensical.
Cubone is just the best sign that GF doesn't give a frick about lore. They easily could fix it by stating in dex that it was/is believed that cubones wear their mother's skull.
Or for more radical approach give cubones/marowaks undiscovered egg group.
breeding is not sexual reproduction so the one you leave might not be the mother
>this thing that can only work if it were sexual doesn't work if its not sexual, so its sexual
They already wrote the world-in-universe to fit the mechanic though, there's nothing you should accept.
>his mom is a ditto
he was just larping for pity points
Yes, and so will all of ours
let's just accept that the breeding system is just a gameplay mechanic that doesn't actually reflect the world in universe
Let's accept that they were too lazy to fix it, just like they are too lazy to fix nidoqueen
nidoqueen doesn't need fixing, it's literally part of the lore and it has been so since 1996
>just like they are too lazy to fix nidoqueen
>he doesn't know
moron
I can't read moonrunes, homosexual
it's been translated. should be common knowledge by now
Then link translation homosexual
>pls spoonfeed me
it basically say female nidoran becomes sterile upon evolving but the male remains fertile
this book came out right after japanese red and green long before gold and silverbreeding mechanics were a thing. they later programmed it that way to be consistent with this book written by tajiri himself
>but the male remains fertile
What are the implications of this?
That Nidoran F is getting that big purple King dick.
Anon, your mom...
>that actual anon who said cubone was his favorite because his mother actually died
Yep, literally every single one (in-lore).
It's clear Cubone was supposed to be an extremely rare one-of-a-kind monster at first, hence why there's such a narrative focal point on it and Marowak when it comes to Lavender and the Pokemon Tower, but they backed out last minute and made it a regular-ass species.
Yup.
Problem?
Everyone's mother dies, yours will too.
bro.......
that's not nice bro...... why would you say that
Welcome to reality.
but i love my mommy man
Don't ever take the dex entries at face value.
Do you know how many species do this already?
yeah, i killed them all
