Eggs?

[alteredegoX]

Ok, feel free to close this or whatever but I've recently started to wonder something.

I'd understand that whenever an egg has appeared in any of the series' no body sees this happening and it's always a place that appears to know about the eggs and what they need. But I've been thinking over Ash's pokemon and began to speculate why none of his pokemon create an egg whilst they're all being kept at Oaks. I could guess there would at least be two possibilities due to his Bayleef, with Bulbasaur or Sceptile, but I havn't really been able to think of any reason why this doesn't seem to occur.

So I'd like to hear over peoples' theories on that subject.

Simple, in the anime it probably takes more than egg groups for Pokemon to breed. And Ash doesn't need a baby Chickorita.

Also, female starters are hard to find, and it's likely that all three of the above mentioned are male. Just because Bayleef acts somewhat feminine, it looks exactly the same as male or female. If they have ever given confirmation of it being female at any point in the series, I haven't seen it and would appreciate a link to an episode synopsis.

But I am pretty sure Chickorita is female :/

I like your theory, maybe when they go to Pallet After the Battle Island arc they find that Bayleaf had a egg with Sceptile or Bulbasaur. But I see Dawn getting a next next generation pre-evo that evolves into a second generation pokemon. I think Stantler would be a great pokemon for her.

I found this on Bulbapedia.com

Bayleef is confirmed to be a female. In Chikorita's Big Upset, the local Nurse Joy refers to it as a she.

Like ShinyVaati said, there is no need for Ash to have his Oaked pokés have babies, why would he need a baby Chikorita or a baby Grimer or Krabby or whatever for? he Oaked the pokés for a reason, he doesn't need them anymore.

And if you deposit your pokémon in the box, they don't breed right? you need to put them in the daycare, so pokés being Oaked kinda is the same as depositing them in the box.

And yeah I know Animé =/= Games
