Sooooo... instead of laying eggs like every other Pokemon Mew gives birth?

[–] pleb_maximus@feddit.de 57 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's from the first generation of Pokemon. The egg mechanic came with the second generation.
The first generation even mentions South America, real world references weren't a thing in later generations either.

Do you remember where they mention South America? Game or anime? Thanks in advance!

Same location as OP

[–] pleb_maximus@feddit.de 25 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Game. It's in the Pokemon Mansion on Cinnabar Island. They found Mew in the South American jungle.
Also Major Surge is called an American IIRC and a war he fought in is alos mentioned.

There's an old man in Surge's gym who says he served with Surge in the war iirc.

Mythical pokemon can't lay eggs so it makes sense that live birth is the method by which they propogate.

If Mewtwo had a baby would you name it Mewthree or Mewtwotwo?
