Wanting a little http://www.pokemasters.net/images/games/ruby_sapphire/rs230.png (Lv 5) and wanting to hatch it from an egg. So what's the trick. I put it in with a ditto and I can't seem to get em to make a baby (Don't like eachother). I put it in w/ a Nidoran F and no luck there either (Prefer to play with other pokes).

I thought it was that the males could breed with the females and you had a 50% chance of gettin one or the other. I at least thought that the ditto would work, but so far it hasn't...

Thanks in advance to anyone with some help!

NoA's sub-par translation strikes back!

"They don't seem to like each other" doesn't means they won't breed. They DO breed when that message pops up. They just take a bit longer...

And yes. If you breed a female Nidoran (Since Nidorina/Nidoqueen can't breed at all...) with any compatible Pokémon, you have a 50% chance of getting either female or male Nidoran. That also helps you on getting certain Bred-on moves on male Nidoran. You can breed the Ditto with the male Nidoran, just wal a lot and you'll get an Egg eventually. The translation can be confusing at times, I should know...

Can you still get a nidoran female if you breed a ditto with a nidoran Male/Nidorino/Nidoking.

Nope. Ditto always produces Eggs of the other Pokémon it's breeding with. If you breed it with a Male Nidoran or the evolved forms, the offspring will ALWAYS be a Male Nidoran. If you breed a Female Nidoran with Ditto (And no, Nidorina and Nidoqueen can't breed at all. Not even with Ditto, which was possible in GSC.), you'll ALWAYS get a Female Nidoran from the egg hatching.

which was possible in GSC.

Actually it wasn't, I have the old guide and it puts both of them in the No Eggs category.

I know it's not that important but just to straighten this up...

I tested it many times back when my Gold worked. Nidorina and Nidoqueen DID breed with Ditto, and produced a Nidoran Female. It doesn't works anymore in RS (Or FR/LG), though.

What I don't get is why Nidorina or Nidoqueen can't breed.

Really? Wow. I...never thought of it like that.

Actually, since pokémon are ovipirous (sp?) menopause is not really the right term. But many creatures have a breeding period after which they are no longer fertile. For some bizarre reason this applies to Nidorinas.
