Faba's Fabulous Theory Corner: Where do Pokémon Eggs Come From?

[Maniacal Engineer]

Well hello there, Pokémon fans. Maniacal Engineer is unable to come to the phone right now, so instead I, the great Faba, will regale you with scientific theories of the universe.

Today's theory stems from the Day Care Centers that have existed in the main series games since Generation II. In most of those games, you may deposit up to two Pokémon to have them gain experience as you continue your journey, without having to train them yourselves. Truly an inspiration for those who want to work smarter, not harder.
However, if you deposit certain combinations of Pokémon, as well as either one male and one female, or one male or female and a Ditto, the Day-Care Staff will occasionally discover Pokémon Eggs with your Pokémon.
How do those Eggs get there? This is a mystery that has puzzled the world since 1999, as seen in this informative image below:

So, where do Pokémon Eggs come from? Well, I, the great Faba, will Endeavor to explain this most perplexing conundrum.
In an alternate universe known as Earth, there are many tales dating back to ancient Europe, of a creature called a stork, which would find baby humans in caves or marshes and bring them to the homes of adult humans.
Adults would indicate their desire for a baby by leaving treats for the stork in their window sills.
These tales were validated by the renowned author and scholar, Hans Christian Andersen, in his charming book The Storks. Additionally, scientists weighed in on this matter, as well, and refer to a certain set of brithmarks on a child's neck as "stork bites."
As you can plainly see, there is incontrovertible evidence for these tales of storks bringing baby humans to their parents in this alternate universe, but how does that apply to us?
Well, while we don't have any Pokémon named "Stork" in this world, we do have the Pokémon Swanna and the Pokémon Pelipper.
While neither are identical to the "stork" of Earthian tales, they are indeed similar enough that I, the great Faba, declare them to be our universe's equivalent to the "stork."
In other words, the Swanna or Pelipper deliver the Eggs that they find in caves or marshes to the Pokémon in the Day Care Centers. As for why they are not noticed by the Day-Care Staff, that is easy. Being Pokémon themselves, the Swanna and Pelipper blend in and are therefore able to deliver the Eggs on the sly.
But Faba, you might ask, which came first, the Ducklett or the Egg? Fear not, my young friends, for I, the great Faba, have an answer to that, as well.
You see, at the beginning of the universe, our Lord and Savior, Arceus, brought forth the first Pokémon Eggs into the Universe after creating all of time and space in six days.
Of course, since I, the great Faba, say it is so, that, of course, makes it so.

Nonetheless, here are some questions to consider to get conversation rolling. You don't have to answer all of them or any of them in your post as long as you're staying on topic and within global forum rules.

• Why do you agree with this theory?
• Outside of the main series Pokémon Games, what evidence can you find that either supports?
• What other in-game evidence can you find that supports this theory?
• Why is any evidence that disproves this theory wrong?
• Why is Faba a better theory crafter than Maniacal Engineer?
• How frequently would you like to see more theories composed by I, the great Faba?
• What other types of theories should I, the great Faba, write about?

On behalf of the Aether FUNdation, as its Assistant Branch Chief, I would like to apologize for the above theory. Our Branch Chief Faba has a bit too much of an... ego which sometimes hinders his ability as a researcher, as he believes that his theories are correct even though there might not be enough evidence supporting them.

To prove said point I will reply to the questions he asked:

Why do you agree with this theory?
I do not agree with this theory since I have access to Aether FUNdation's data and there isn't enough evidence supporting the theory.
Outside of the main series Pokémon Games, what evidence can you find that either supports?
I exist inside the main series Pokemon games so there's no way to know what may exist in the outside.
What other in-game evidence can you find that supports this theory?
Nothing. On the other hand there is lots of in-game evidence that disproves the theory.
Why is any evidence that disproves this theory wrong?
It is not wrong.
Why is Faba a better theory crafter than Maniacal Engineer?
Who is Maniacal Engineer? Whoever he is, he is probably a better theory crafter than our Branch Chief, Faba.
How frequently would you like to see more theories composed by I, the great Faba?
I would like to see more theories but only if they have enough evidence.
What other types of theories should I, the great Faba, write about?
We shall discuss it later in Aether Paradise in private.

Thanks a lot. I wanted to go to RM13. But I can’t now. At least this makes up for it.

• Why do you agree with this theory?

Because it’s correct.

• Outside of the main series Pokémon Games, what evidence can you find that either supports?

Pelliper can easily carry an Egg in it’s beak, and Swanna can fly thousands of miles, so it could carry an Egg while flying.

• What other in-game evidence can you find that supports this theory?

Pelliper and Swanna and their pre-evolutions can be found in every main reigion but one: Kanto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos, and Alola can find Pellipers and Swannas. Pellipers could easily fly to Johto from Kanto.

• Why is any evidence that disproves this theory wrong?

Because apparently people think this is wrong. It really isn’t.

• Why is Faba a better theory crafter than Maniacal Engineer?

I could go into great details about why.

• How frequently would you like to see more theories composed by I, the great Faba?

Millions.

• What other types of theories should I, the great Faba, write about?

I want to know... Why does Mewtwo have 2 Mega Stones but was created by humans? Mega Stones aren’t just made like that...

I see your research is going well, Faba. Although I must ask what you are doing in this dreadfully unfashionable location

 

[Maniacal Engineer]

It is decidely unfashionable, Madam President, but in order to gain worldly knowledge and continue my research, I must often go to unfashionable places.
This is the burden of an intellect such as mine.

Hmm, an April Fool's day thread about something that is part of the games.. interesting..

I believe that Arceus creates the eggs. So, when we drop 2 Pokemon, male and female, and are in the same egg group, after some time, Arceus will bless them with an egg. And when the egg hatches we discover that the baby has 0 IVs and a useless nature

praise arceus

I'll give my explanations to this seemingly greatest mystery of the PokeWorld where in fact it is just a simple inarguable observable fact but whatever person tends to romanticize this simple happening by mystifying it with a thick layer of doubt due to the superstition of the action of mating is "unsuitable for children".

* The daycare couple possess super conservative mindset where thinking romantic relationship between two people should be kept private, openly showing off one's relationship is consider illicit and should be banned.
* One day, they saw a male pokemon f*cking with another female pokemon, right at their backyard.
* They are no human being, they are pokemon, you can't blame them for their natural instinct to reproduce offspring. But still, they don't consider this is something "suitable to be known by young trainers". So, they covered up the truth.
* But this is daycare center, the couple is not the owner of those pokemons, the owners of those pokemons had all the right to know that their pokemons produced offspring in here, and they have all the rights to claim ownership of those offspring. So, the couple cannot cover the fact that one's pokemon reproduced an egg that eventually will born into a child of those parents.
* After deep pondering, they realized the thing they don't want the young trainers to be interested in is the romantic (aka sexual) relationship between one's pokemon and another pokemon, not the offspring themselves. Hence they lied, saying here is an egg that is offspring of one's pokemon, but the origin of the egg is unknown. They lied because they don't want children to become interested in romantic (aka sexual) relationship, regardless of the target subject is non-human.
* Further development: They lied this lie for many years, the couple had already get used to saying such line of "Here's your pokemon egg, but I don't know where it come from". Additionally, they now had Alzheimer, they had long forgotten why they say this, they just utter this line whenever pokemon reproduced an egg and its owner need to claim ownership of it.

This is the true story. End of discussion. Period.


Alternative interpretation: Maybe Pokemon Egg is indeed appear out of nowhere, because they are in fact DigiEggs.
