I have a hard time counting the gender ratio as being in lore fact over in-game mechanics, most creatures that would have large disparity of males over females, would have likely gone extinct long ago due to near impossible breeding requirements.
 
Unless I guess we accept general egg groups as being natural, but then again, most male heavy species still would have likely died off

You forget about dittos and controlled breeding to prevent extinction. I think Pokemon would be a world that would do everything to prevent natual selection from occurring.

That assumes Dittos are natural and not man made, and controlled breeding seems to have a somewhat spotty existence in our world, with only some species getting such care, and many dying off because people didn’t care for them

You say that like they wouldn’t be used for breeding. And in a world where each mon has potential for combat and even an 11 year old has access to places designed for breeding mons, I doubt it would be an issue. My concern is shiny breeding in that world.

Ever played Mass Effect? Krogans also produce one child at a time, but reproduce fast enough that they have to make the species sterile in order to prevent them from conquering the galaxy.

@Meanlucario  
Hmm… true. The rate is vague. Though how all those varied creatures all reproduce so similarly is probably the odd part… is that the mark of Arceus, who is said to have hatched from an egg? Or are the daycare staff just scamming you?

Because there’s nothing unrealistic about a blue whale and a house cat creating an egg together!
 
Though to be honest, I kind of like the silliness of it
 
but hey, if the god of the pokemon universe is also a pokemon, it probably would make sense
Latecomer

@Littlecabbit  
Really, I could probably go on a whole rant about how Pokemon would make about ten times more sense as a pure fantasy series…but in the end it probably is “better” to teach kids to admire science and scientists and the wonders of nature and technology. Even if it gives us overthinkers headaches.

I feel like something like this would have happened some time after Huey was born; Ash is cuddling with him, but then he suddenly starts mew-ing for his mama. So then Newtwo just stands there looking at Ash with an unamused expression as she wordlessly takes her baby back.
