Which came first: The Pokemon, or the Egg?
Tickles:
The philosophical question now revised for pokemon. Don't think of it in terms of the game, use your imagination. I believe it started with the egg that held Arceus, and then came everything else.
LeoReborn:
The Pokemon: simply because of two things.
1) No warmth, No hatching, and Eggs cant create anything O.o
2) Where would the egg have come from?
Ez:
seeing as it's Pokemon, a cartoon, i don't think logic has to take place so i believe the egg came first for your same reason.
TrainerX:
If the creator of everything always existed, it couldn't have hatched from an egg because it already existed. If it hatched from an egg, then something else must have created it.
There's a problem with that statement though.
How could the creator have always existed if it didn't have a point in time that it came into existence? If it hatched from an egg, then how did the egg come into existence in the first place if it's the creator. If it was an egg, something had to have created the egg. But if it didn't hatch from an egg, it already existed, but there's no way to explain how it would be possible for something to exist without coming into existence first.
This can also be applied to religion and the belief that space already existed.
There's no way to really explain it, it's beyond human comprehension, so even if we found proof, we would still never be able to truly understand it.
So there really isn't a correct answer, because no one knows, and no one probably ever will know.

There actually is an answer, the creators of Pokemon know, like i said logic doesn't have to take place in a cartoon but in real life no one would know because whether the egg or the chicken came first is irrelevant because both of them are an object. The question is how was the first object made?
