Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

Egg group?

When the researchers heard this name, they exchanged glances and saw confusion in each other's eyes.

Since Dr. Kongmu has not yet obtained any specific research results, he naturally has not given it a name. Many assistants and apprentices can only watch Dr. Kongmu typing on the computer with a somewhat different mood.

"Isn't it a general way to classify Pokémon based on their morphological characteristics? There should be other factors that influence it, such as attributes, living environment, etc. Have you divided the Pokémon into egg groups?"

"Oh!"

Dr. Soramu pressed the send button heavily, anxiously waiting for a response.

Originally, he just wanted to try to ask and learn about the evolutionary magnetic field. He didn't expect that this Steelix actually did research on his question.

I heard that this Steel Crow seems to have an irregular schedule and is often very busy... Kong Mu felt worried.

......

At this time, the Marrokomon Group Building.

Wang Jin was lying on the sofa. He looked at the time and saw that it was almost half past six. Just as he was about to go wash up, his notebook started to ding again.

Someone sent a message, and it was his good friend?

Is it Dr. Yamanashi or who? Yew? Soragi?

Wang Jin clicked on it immediately and saw Kong Mu’s message right away.

"Factors that affect the egg groups..." he muttered, guessing that the other party might not have completely classified the egg groups yet.

The egg group is the key to determining whether two Pokémon of the opposite sex can lay eggs. Without the egg group, the only way to help the Pokémon you have cultivated reproduce is through your own experience, which is the inheritance of your family.

The classification of egg groups is indeed not only based on morphological characteristics, but also has a lot to do with the living environment of Pokémon.

For example, Pokémon that live in water all year round cannot reproduce even if they are very similar to some terrestrial Pokémon.

According to the original book's division by Dr. Hollow Wood...

Wang Jin did not hesitate or be stingy, and directly listed the specific division methods and sent them out.

Egg groups can be divided into sixteen categories, which are derived based on morphological characteristics and living environment:

[Monster: Like a monster, or more wild. ]

[In water 1: Can be amphibious or polyamic. ]

[Insect: Looks like an insect.]

[Flying: It looks like a flying creature such as a bird or bat. ]

[Land: The largest egg group. Most Pokémon that live on land belong to this group.]

[Fairy: A creature that looks cute or has legendary supernatural properties. ]

【Plant: Looks like a plant. 】

【Human form: walking on two feet. 】

[In the water 3: Invertebrates in the water. ]

[Mineral: Crystalline or silicon-based organisms. ]

[Amorphous: having no fixed appearance.]

[In water 2: Vertebrates such as fish. ]

[Ditto: As the name suggests, Ditto is the only Pokémon in this group. It can lay eggs with all Pokémon except the Undiscovered Group and Ditto Group (regardless of gender). 】

[Dragon: A Pokémon that looks like a dragon or has dragon-like qualities.]

[Not Found: Cannot lay eggs with any Pokémon. ]

[Unknown gender: This is not an egg group in normal life, but in some special occasions, Pokémon are classified according to this, and it is also considered an egg group at this time. Pokémon in this egg group can only lay eggs with Ditto. 】

The role of Pokémon egg groups is mainly reflected in aspects related to reproduction and genetics. Pokémon belonging to two egg groups can form linked inheritance. This method of inheritance can connect unrelated Pokémon and allow them to learn moves that they cannot learn normally.

In general, the egg set is a groundbreaking discovery in Pokémon breeding.

Ordinary breeding houses will now be able to determine whether two Pokémon can lay eggs based on the egg set, instead of going to great lengths to help two Pokémon develop feelings for each other, only to find out in the end that the two Pokémon are completely unable to lay eggs.

the other side.

Classifications of egg groups popped up one by one on the computer screen.

Dr. Kongmu opened his eyes wide, reading eagerly, and his hands were still subconsciously copying down, fearing that the information would grow wings and fly away in the next moment.

The researchers standing behind him also concentrated their attention at this time. What they saw in front of them was an almost completed research result. It was much better than the previous somewhat mysterious theory and was something truly useful.

A few minutes later, Dr. Kongmu's nerves were tense. He clenched the egg group classification he had just written in front of him and suddenly stood up.

But under the gazes of many apprentice assistants, he slowly sat down again.

Kong Mu just wanted to ask about the other party's research progress.

Unexpectedly, the other party sent such a complete research result... The egg group classification here has been completed, and only the known Pokémon are left to be filled in. Of course, the specific unknown parts still need to be asked to Steelix.

Holding such a straightforward research result, Kong Mu couldn't imagine that there really was someone like Steel Crow in the research community. Such a researcher who could truly selflessly share his research results and was full of scientific research spirit...

Even Professor Oak has to keep the projects he is researching a secret and not let others know about them.

Everyone is afraid that others will steal or plagiarize their research results.

"Nowadays, there are actually people like Mr. Steel Crow." Kong Mu choked up for a moment. He had been doing scientific research for so many years, and this was the first time he met a colleague who showed complete trust in him. And this was the first time he got the final scientific research answer without a long period of groping.

This teacher, Steelix from the Galar region, is a true role model in the scientific research community!

Seeing this, an assistant in the back quickly reminded:

"Teacher Kongmu, if you don't reply, Teacher Steel Crow may go offline."

"Oh!"

Kong Mu finally reacted, his fingers trembling as he tapped the keyboard, but he finally typed out what he wanted to say:

"Teacher Steeljaw, thank you very much for your generosity! I swear I will never embezzle your research results. May I ask if you have completed the classification of known Pokémon?"

Wang Jin on the other side yawned again, and waited for Kong Mu's reply. He thought carefully in his head. Although the currently known Pokémon were not as many as in later generations, there were still hundreds of them..... He really forgot how to divide some of them, and it was troublesome to type them out.

Then...

Wang Jin replied casually:

"Not yet. I have a lot of things to do here. If possible, you can go straight to the classification. I remember that you seem to be conducting related experiments as well? By the way, I am just giving some suggestions, which cannot be regarded as research results."

"How could that be!" Kong Mu was a little too excited. "I understand your situation. Don't worry, when all the Pokémon are classified, you will definitely be the first one to sign the paper!"
