1: You don't have to use the same species. In fact, some people encourage you to use different ones.
2: Baby Pokemon, like Pichu. Can't get them via catching.
3: Bred Pokemon can be born knowing moves that their species cannot otherwise learn, or know them at a much lower level.

[Furtuka]

They don't need to be of the same species, they just need to have matching egg groups. Or have one parent be ditto. The species of the pokemon is determined by the mother, unless it's a ditto in which case it will be the species of the father. Also bred pokemon can inherit tm and level up moves from their parents, even ones that they would not normally be able to learn. Also there's a bunch of people who puppyfarm them to obtain specific natures.

[Bluerobin]

The main reason I've seen it done for competitive play (after egg moves and natures) is because of the way the stats/leveling up works. Basically part of what determines how high a pokemon's stats are is an innate value that is partially passed down from parents, so a lot of breeding and some luck is the only way to fully max out stats.

[SirAaronIII]

Natures influence stats, so that's part of it. If you make one of the parents (I think it's the mother but I'm not sure) hold an everstone, the baby will have a 50% chance of having the same nature.

There are exactly 151 pokemon.

I don't keep up very well with the pokemon news as often as other things, but I'd certainly say the guy Slowflake on youtube does, so when he's doing an lp of some sort I usually get most of my pokenews from him.

I still hold the notion there's 251. Gold and Silver added stuff that I'm okay with.

I reject your nostalgia and cry out 649 with the force of some highly dramatic metaphor!

That's like... triple what there actually are. Come on, man. Be serious.

[Aklyon]

webadict, you forgot to count Missingno and the others, unless you count Gold/Silver/Crystal instead for the space after the 151 but before any of the items and stuff in the games.

There are far too many buggy Pokemon...

That could work. I think there's enough of them.

[Aklyon]

Theres enough usable ones for an almost full party, at the least.

My favorite part about playing Pokemon was the sheer number of fake cheats that were available.

Have slightly less but less spaced out (and more unusual) than that.
