Well, inspired by HSOWA, I thought about a breeding question. We know that two Pokemon(in the same egg group) can mate, for example a Raichu and an Azumarill. So, do you think that inter-breeding would occur in the wild? I mean, are there wild Pokemon who practice this? Also, if the Azumarill produces a Pichu child and Raichu and Azumarill returned to their flock, would the Azumarill be allowed to stay(Not belonging to the same species as them).
Inter-species breeding

Personally, I think that you would and should get a hybid pokemon. For example, I breed my white lab with a black lab, I get a brown lab, not a black or white lab. But being that there are no hybid pokemon, The pokemon would probably be like the ugly duckling, and not be accepted.
I also think that in the pokemon world( not the games) breeding would be more restricted, ie, more like biblical kinds.

I have a feeling that although if the world of pokemon were indeed real, this sort of thing might occur, it would be very rare. And if it did occur, it's unlikely that the couple would stay together, unless each broke off from his/her own respective Pokemon herd.
It seems impossible gameplay-wise though, since you can't catch Pokemon with egg moves.

The inter-species breeding was done just for make breeding easier.
Instead of getting two the same starters (which is impossible without trading) you can breed Ditto or some other compatible Pokemon and you'll get the starter you wanted. Easy, isn't it? And without unnecessary trading blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda.
But in anime such things aren't possible, I think.
In my FanFick, which I never published, it wasn't possible.
Like I said, it's a game facilitation.

I imagine interspecies breeding would be possible(To a certain extent... I'm sorry, but I just can't nor do I want to imagine a Skitty and a Wailord breeding.), but wouldn't be something that occurred often in the wild.
In fact, I figure it'd be almost unheard of outside of captivity, and should it occur, it'd be more out of... erm, desperation than anything else. Kinda like a survival instinct or something: Sorta like... "Well, it doesn't look like I'll be seeing any of my OWN species for quite a while, so I guess if I want to pass on my genes, you'll have to do. ;>_>"LOL SO ROMANTIC, NO?
Am I making any sense here? I hope so, but that's probably not the case.D:
Basically what I'm trying to say is that if interspecial breeding ever occured, it would almost solely be because it's the only viable option, which, outside of captivity, is highly unlikely. (Not to say that it would NEVER occur in the wild... although it'd be pretty unlikely, nature is pretty unpredictable, and... well, I'm sure Pokemon occasionally get uh... urges. XDD;; *shot* ) And the only reason I say it would occur in the first place is because well... Pokemon seem to be really adaptable little buggers, so them having egg groups as a survival thing doesn't seem THAT unlikely, I don't think. Uh... yeah. D:
As for the offspring... well, Pokemon aren't necessarily like animals(Seeing that they uh.. SHOOT LAZORS and whatnot.), so they could just end up having 'normal' offspring(By 'normal', I mean that they look normal, not necessarily that they behave normally.), but the possibility of *physical* hybrids doesn't seem too farfetch'd[/*shot for horrible pun*]. I figure it'd be something that you wouldn't see often, however, seeing that hybrids would more than likely be recieved none-too-kindly by other Pokemon. Yeah.
For the most part, I think the offspring would look like either of it's parents(Most likely the mother.), but would probably be a little 'off' in some ways, be it temperment-wise or simply move-wise.
And uh... yeah. *brainfart* D:

When I say hybrid, I mean btw, like biblical kinds. Like the marril and pikachu lines are both mice, so a pikachu and marril would create a hybid between them. Or, the meowth, skitty, glameow lines could interbreed and create a hybrid

I'm rolling with the Pikachu Special's conjecture that Pokemon are all one specie, with different Pokemon, despite their incredible dissimilarities, are in fact different breeds. In this case, the question of breeding isn't genetic, but rather in terms of equipment--how the creatures reproduce and if it's possible for two types to actually go at each other. Skitty-Wailord is still the ultimate enigma, of course.
If this is so, then perhaps the genes that say what type/breed a Pokemon ends up are dominant and come from the male. In games, the inheritance of attacks is the only noticeable result of interspecies breeding, but if the games were better-equipped, I'd imagine that crossbreed Pokemon would show some evidence, likely cosmetic and minor, of being born of two different Pokemon types.* For instance, a mix of male Pikachu and female Azumaril might result in a Pikachu with blue stripes instead of brown.
*Unless of course the child is born of Ditto, in which case the offspring is nearly a clone of the parent, save with a few tweaks to the DNA introduced by a Ditto's fancy-ass reproductive system.
