    The most disturbing part IMO is that they often insist they’re not “real” eggs and nobody really knows how it works.

    Now comsider that apart from a slip here or there in early material, most pokémon canon assumes there are no non-pokémon animals in this universe. How the hell do they know what a “real egg” is?

        The real question ANY of us should be asking, is if humans laid eggs instead of live birth, would we eat our own regularly-laid infertile eggs?

      Maybe some of the bird types lay “real” eggs, how exactly they would differ from other eggs is beyond me though lol

        Egg Bomb is a move. Also, the Chansey line has an actual egg on its belly pouch. Why those are real eggs and pokemon eggs aren’t is a real mystery

          That makes sense. To pokéworld humans, real eggs are just the ovoid shit pokémon use as a weapon or carry around for absolutely no discernable reason. Thus, the capsules they use to deliver new pokémon when they reproduce are “fake eggs”.
