please give me some examples of homosexuality in "human-like" pokemon. I'm trying to prove someone wrong

erm, i'm not really sure what argument you're having...but there are instances of same-sex pairing behavior in a variety of pokemon, including some that fall into the humanlike egg group. this is best studied in single-sex pokemon such as jynx and morgrem. in fact, a study a few years ago about prosocial behavior in throh revealed that the packs of five that throh travel in regularly mate with each other both as a method of strengthening pack bonds and as a way to de-escalate arguments; there were high incidences of mating following spars, and if one member of the pack initiated mating with another, the rest of the pack would often join in.

outside of these groups, we see some other examples of same-sex mating as appeasement/de-escalation behavior. the more social the pokemon is, generally the more frequently nonbreeding mating occurs. for example, the ralts line will sometimes engage in mating in response to stress behaviors from members of their group, and this includes mating between same-sex individuals.

less common are examples of same-sex pairs outside of these social behaviors, but wild same-sex mated pairs have been documented in the ralts, abra, gothita, and toxel lines. this most often occurs between male individuals (with the exception of gothita) and in situations where opposite-sex individuals are lacking, but i've also seen reports of same-sex ralts line pairs forming even when there were plenty of opposite-sex individuals to choose from, indicating that there may be some aspect of sex preference when these pokemon choose mates.

Something that just happened:

*Someone walks into pokemon center with a weird looking Bibarel*

Me: "Oh my Arc, that Bibarel is so interesting!"

Person: "Thanks! Her dad was a Dragonite!"

Then, I slowly came to the realization that Dragonite and Bibarel are in the same egg group.

Basic Pokémon Worldbuilding Headcanons

Decided to write down my base worldbuilding assumptions about the Pokémon World, in case anyone else would like to share them;

Pokemon types are not fully a human-made classification system, but rather a metaphysical property of a Pokémon’s aura, the same aura that Lucario and many other Pokémon manipulate; the ‘frequency’ of their type is unique to them, and the combination of types makes its own unique ‘frequency’, much like coordinates on a chart with 18 different axiis on both sides.  This means that classification was first made and named by psychic humans who could sense them, until humans developed machinery for proper classification. The formal classification of a type is conditional on being detectable by modern technology, which is why the Fairy type remained unclassified for years, as it was very similar to Normal type in makeup.

This energy is also how Pokémon can be contained in Pokeballs and transferred electronically; Pokemon are naturally capable of converting from energy to mass and back again, though the exact mechanics of this transformation only became known in the 90’s as advances in science allowed the Pokémon Storage System to come into existence.

Psychic humans, of course, as we know, exist. Up to 5-10% of the population is some form of psychic, the extra 5% having psychic potential of some manner that, while not offering powers of any kind, makes them extra vulnerable to psychic effects or attacks.

This fact mixes explicit canon with my own headcanons; evolution for Pokémon is a process entirely separate to aging or the biological meaning of evolution in our world. Pokémon evolve for a variety of factors that are often connected but not always related to aging; if their territory is suited for them and would not support their larger evolution, many Pokémon simply choose not to evolve, leading to strange (for humans) sights like encountering elderly Treecko. As Grovyle are significantly larger than their prevolution, the Treecko would have had to leave his family behind to seek new territory, so it simply never did. Evolution is not the process of aging for Pokémon, though it’s often intimately connected with it, most Pokémon are fully capable of reaching maturity and breeding prior to their final evolution, so many simply choose not to do so for their own reasons. 

The act of evolution consumes a large amount of energy in a short period of time; this is the cause of the glowing light seen in the anime and some games, while others feature large bursts of swirling wind, the method of energy dispersal can vary, but all evolution causes some form of sudden energy discharge.

The process that is described in our world as natural evolution, and this is explicitly canon, does occur to Pokémon, though often it can be much more rapid than in our world. For example, and this is implicitly (though not explicitly) canon, Electrode and Voltorb’s species was originally a species of Apricorn mimics; this is implied by the Temple of Sinnoh’s statue of the original Lord Electrode, which has no dividing line between the upper and lower halves. As Pokeballs came into existence, they pivoted to mimicking them instead.

Pokémon breeding is more complicated than canon presents, obviously, but the base premises the game uses, of “Egg Groups”, is fundamentally still correct. Pokémon reproduce in different ways based on their species, but all Pokémon capable of breeding are in some form capable of laying eggs, often with the more mammalian Pokémon simply being ovovivaparous, giving live birth to their young, but still having eggs inside their bodies rather than placentas.  Under stress or other conditions that make it more favorable, often these Pokémon can choose to lay their eggs rather than develop them internally. Despite most technically being capable of doing so, most Pokémon simply do not choose to breed outside their species, and in fact, interbreeding between species in the wild is a likely sign of a disturbed ecosystem.  Obvious incompatibilities due to size can be overcome through artificial insemination, and Pokémon breeders often use these technologies to help create more effective battlers. As in canon, male Pokémon pass on very little to their offspring. To elaborate on that fact, male Pokémon pass on their aura to their child more than genes, and this leads to the influence of the father on a Pokémon expressing themselves subtly, often offering the capabilities to learn moves that may not be natural to their offspring. Very occasionally the father’s genes will express themselves in minor physical differences to an average member of the species, but this is very rare and usually very subtle.

Pokémon that are not biological in nature and/or in the No Eggs Discovered egg group tend to reproduce in their own unique ways, but due to unknown reasons, speculated upon wildly by scientists, usually still produce some form of egg in the process of reproduction.  For example; Magnemite and its family reproduce by two or more Magnemite collecting magnetic minerals together into a roughly egg-shaped ball, which eventually solidifies into a Magnemite egg. This type of reproduction is common to most Pokémon in the Mineral egg group. Most Ghost types are capable of natural reproduction, despite their appearances, and simply collect energy together during reproduction that coalesces into an egg once a male Pokémon has provided their aura.

one of my friends reblogged a post of yours (very cute art btw) and i checked your blog and saw the header. i want to hear the rest of that theory please

Back during the 1800s when scientists were still discussing theories on evolution one theory that arose was that the development of an embryo at certain stages represented the entirety of the genetic evolutionary chain of the animal, and diverged accordingly to meet environmental needs, with the similarities at certain points showing that pretty much every animal could potentially be related. Its a little bit goofy in hindsight but it seems to be something the pokemon Mew might be based on, having (in gen 1 at least) that resemblance to a weird lil fetus thing while also having all the genetic code for every pokemon

If thats the case, and the Pokemon world follows the logic of recapitulation theory as opposed to this worlds version of evolution, it can be theorized that pokemon and humans are extremely closely linked, having a very real singular common ancestor, which would be Mew.

This would explain why some humans have such supernatural abilities instead of JUST pokemon, and why some trainers are drawn to a certain type of pokemon to specialize in. Like, there's human who have psychic powers and show extreme displays strength stamina and resilience and its treated as just a normal occurrence. Theres also those religious texts in the Canalave library in Sinnoh that have folk tales regarding humans and pokemon being relatively close for a time, and in Pokemon Legends Arceus some characters just live with pokemon as family members

yada yada yada humans and pokemon is the same, [insert 'Did You Know That Vaporeon' copypasta here]

#its not really a theory worth much #its a video game people can just be mutants without consequence or thought #but heres the tag I'll end on #pokemon breeding

I'm going to start a mini series of posts where I go over ways how to safely breed pokemon since a lot of people don't know how it works or how to create an environment where the pokemon feels safe to breed or have a family. Don't worry, the posts will NOT be nsfw in any way! It's more going over how pokemon will court each other and stuff they do to care for their eggs and young. Keep in mind that most of the posts will talk about pokemon of the same species courting, but if you want to know how to breed 2 pokemon of different species, you can just ask and I can make a post on that.

I was texting my brother about the new pokemon games today when I realized my 7 year old son was trying to read over my shoulder.

Where do baby Pokémon come from?

Someone clearly slept in health and biology class.

Well, contrary to popular belief, most warm blooded pokemon will give live birth, typically if both parents are of a similar species.

Ex: two Bidoof mate and have a small gaggle of doofs.

However, the "eggs-ample" of pokemon having eggs come mostly from the breeder interface.

If a "compatible pokemon" can breed with them but their species is pretty different, they have the ability to lay eggs.

Ex: a Nidoking and a Ditto mate, and the Ditto produces an egg.

It's a pretty detailed process from there, but TL:DR:

Some pokemon give live birth when with a pokemon of a similar species, and others have eggs based on their species or adaptation of their biology to produce offspring.

I can't get into more detail here, haha.

Thinking of breeding my Skeledirge, named Jalapeno, with other Pokemon to get some sort of fluffy Fuecoco, any suggestions of Pokemon I should try?

Given you're a Pidove enthusiast, what's your stance on breeding "fancy" Pidoves? I have no intention of doing so (I think wild-type Pidove are perfect as they are), but I was curious about your perspective on that kind of selective breeding.

as with any selective variant breeding, i don't think there's anything wrong with it as long as the breeding is done responsibly, with all the requisite health tests/avoiding inbreeding, and as long as the variant isn't harmful. breeding for fun color variants/certain feather patterns? usually okay! breeding for super tiny beaks or pidove with such intense feather dance displays that they start to bald? unethical.

it's also important to consider what happens from an evolutionary perspective, too. some people breed pidove to have exceptionally large masks as unfezant, and it can get to a point where the unfezant can no longer fly because their masks are too heavy. whatever you're breeding for in a pokemon, it still needs to be able to perform its natural behaviors. fancy pidove aren't inherently bad, but the resulting pokemon needs to be able to live out its life happily.

//Most of the crossbreed pokemon have been pretty tame, like an Altaria/Togekiss crossbreed, or a Pikachu/Clefairy crossbreed. But you know what? I wanna do some fucked up ones because pokemon egg groups can be so weird. So give me pokemon that are absolutely nothing alike that you'd wanna see a crossbreed of. The only rule is that they have to be in the same egg group.

I just remembered the first time I managed to breed a Pokemon egg and hatch it in Pokemon Emerald! I managed it by accident because I wasn't really aware of that mechanic at the time and it hatched into a Barboach in the route to the left of Fallarbor town. Even though I was pretty young I still remember it all these years later and how exciting it was. It's always what I think of when I see Barboach now :') it's a pokemon full of good memories 💙🩶

I know the remakes removed or altered the dialogue about the new-ness of Pokémon laying eggs, for obvious reasons, but I still love the idea of Professor Elm as a Pokémon Professor focused on Pokémon breeding. Because, well, that’s an important aspect of Pokémon and taking care of them. Plus, he’s such a pathetic willowy wisp of a man that I can’t help but find the idea of him being a mom to all sorts of Pokémon adorable and hilarious.

Science side of rotomblr I have a question Does a Pokemon need to be in the exact same egg group? Or can they only share a single egg group and they can breed?

sure let's do another update

get out of there, you are not an egg

I'm going to keep my back to you and close my eyes because I trust you, buddy---

OOF THE ATTACK CAME FROM THE FRONT hi

The moment my boy hatched! Egg #578. Sadly does not have Long Reach like his mother 😔

handsome snake man!!

I didn't get a proper screenshot but I found this by mistake while looking for a shiny Oricorio.

well that's two more shiny birds

now to breed a shiny Quaxly.
