This came up during an IM conversation I had with Karin.
(20:26:06) GuardianLune: actually, Nidoking can breed.
(20:26:12) GuardianLune: only Nidorina and Nidoqueen can't.
(20:26:24) Lady Vulpix G: Really? That's odd. Why would they do that?
(20:26:54) GuardianLune: I really have no idea. It has something to do with the fact that a female Nidoran can generate both female and male babies.
(20:27:27) Lady Vulpix G: That's what Iwas thinking, maybe the coding was easier that way.
(20:27:28) GuardianLune: Nidoking can fertilize other pokémon... And it can breed with Ditto if you only want male nidorans.
(20:27:32) GuardianLune: Probably.
(20:28:02) Lady Vulpix G: I don't think it makes sense, though.
(20:28:06) GuardianLune: Since nidoking has really no say in gender of the nidoran that comes out, the female would be the only one that matters.
(20:28:16) GuardianLune: it was probably a coding decision.
(20:28:21) GuardianLune: It doesn't seem logical...
(20:28:22) Lady Vulpix G: But that sounds like a good topic to discuss on GD.So, what do you all think? Why can Nidorino/Nidoking breed but not Nidorina/Nidoqueen? Why can't male Nidos who breed with Dittos have female children? Does this make sense to you, or do you think it should be different?
