007 [VIDEO/ACTION FOR VIOLET; BACKDATED TO THE AFTERNOON OF THE 12TH]
[Well, it's a nice day for October, which isn't saying much; it's far less hot than it was last month, which is a mercy. It has been cloudy for most of the day, but there have been moments of sun throughout, which... the female Nidoran slightly behind Kayneth seems to be taking advantage of take a nap in a fleeting sliver of sun.
Of course, there's no dozing off happening with her trainer, who is probably going to talk about science or something.]
I suppose that if you asked me six months ago whether or not I'd be able to stand this place by this point, I would have denied the faintest possibility of it. Nevertheless, while I can't say I'm happy with my situation, at the very least I'm not bored. I suppose it's not much of a surprise to anyone who's actually been paying attention to them, but Pokemon are far more fascinating than they have any right to be.
[...he gives a somewhat meaningful glance to the Nidoran, as if expecting her to demonstrate in the near future...
...
...nope, still asleep. He will have to have Words with his Pokemon later, but for now-]
Has anyone really considered the mechanics of how Pokemon that are bred in captivity hatch with moves their parents know that they wouldn't have learned otherwise? I had known of this phenomenon before, of course, but I've only seen the results of this particular quirk in detail very recently. I suppose it's not something I would be overly concerned with if it were something that they didn't hatch with, given that it would be very easy to justify the immediate transfer of knowledge that way-but, as it stands, it seems as there's some other dimension to it.
Regardless, I suppose this is something I should look further into. How many moves is it possible to breed onto a given Pokemon, anyway? Is it theoretically infinite, or is there some limit to it?
