It only takes a few rules working in tandem to create an amazingly complex system. The most evident example of this is found in Conway’s Game of Life[1], but you can see a similar phenomenon with the mechanics behind Pokémon breeding[2]. You have the Pokémon first divided into egg groups, apply mechanics for passing down of stats and traits, and add in some effects of various items. Most of the time, the rules are quite boring but what results can be quite interesting[3]. It is only on a rare occasion that it is the rule that becomes the point of interest, and in the mechanics of Pokémon breeding that rule goes by one name: Ditto[4].
