    We both got the pokemon normally, he caught his Feebas, I caught mine and maxed it's beauty to get Milotic.

    Now, if the egg hatches, and wrecks my mates game, we are gonna sue Nintendo and get Million and Million of Dollar.

    And 2 Free DS's and Pokemon Pearl and Diamond each.

    And Million and Million of Dollar again.

    Somehow I doubt you'll get millions of dollars just because you got a bad egg. Nintendo will probably fix your game, or even pay for a new one with some extra goodies, but they'll laugh in your face if you file a lawsuit for millions of dollars.

    I think it's a reasonable enough case.

    They/Game Freak put Bad Eggs in peoples game, intentionally, and then released it to the public, knowing FULLY well that the Bad Egg corrupts the file, It was MADE to wreck the file, and thus, it should be illegal for a gaming company to release a product knowing fully well that it can corrupt and no longer function properly.

    I mean HELL they put the thing there INTENTIONALLY TO SCREW THE GAMES UP.

    Million and Million of Dollar.

    If they did put the Bad Eggs in intentionally, it would have been a warning to people NOT to use cheating devices. If the bad egg occurred in a corrupted game file (which can happen, like Jake said), then they'll probably give you an out of court settlement, like a free DS or something.
    But if you plan to take Nintendo to court with a settlement fee of million and million of dollar (which you need to pluralist or Nintendo won't even take you seriously), then the judge'll simply laugh and bring on the next case.

    Sueing Nintendo will get you know where. That sounds like such a noobish comment. Even thoguh I am a noob myself (not to Pokemon, just to PC), I think your blowing this way out of proportion. Stop now, please. I can see you getting stuffed toys or DS's or whatever, but not cash. Besides, i'm sure some little kid had tried to sue them by now but hasn't prevailed.

    Did you read through this thread earlier? I believe an answer can be found somewhere....but since you asked, a bad egg is basically a glitch in the game that puts an egg in your box when you use a code from Gameshark wrong, or just by an unexpected time. Although, it is very rare to happen without cheating.

    As for pics, I don't have any but i'm sure some does.

    When A bad egg hatches, it corrupts the game and causes a crash. I don't think you can get rid of it either...

    The chances are very rare right? I just started playing Pokemon again after a few years of hiatus and I certainly don't want bad eggs. Somehow I doubt that bad eggs can corrupt the entire game. It's probably just a minor glitch that probably would be fixed in future games.

    Okay the Bad Egg didn't pop up in the box, its was in the party instead of Milotic.

    The Million and Million of Dollar thing was a joke, but there is no way in hell that it's a glitch.

    It has it's own name and own summary which means it was programmed into the game and therefore is not a glitch.

    If it does ruin my mates game, we WILL be complaining and whinging and calling Nintendo at all hours day and night until we get something, like 2 FREE DS's when they are released.

    You people have no idea how many cars we washed to get our SP's and Fire Red/Leaf Green/Ruby and Sapphire.

    Actually I can tell you:

    - Each car we do we get $10 for, the games are $70 each and the SP's were $180 each when they came out.

    $180 x 2 = $360
    $70 x 4 = $280
    $360 + $280 = $640

    64 cars we washed.

    If the game corrupts we will be very angry.

    I was amazed at how quickly we had everything though it took us about 2 weeks.. If that.

    I had a bad egg on silver and I did not even have a gameshark or replay nor did anybody else that walked into my house.The only reason I could think of was trading pokemon from R/B/Y versions.I also beleive this was intentionaly placed in the game.
    Although, I did try trading missingno to my silver.I was some sort Slowpoke with a messed up name that messed up both our Red AND Silver versions.Then we could not trade it for some reason because "It was an abnormal pokemon" the nurse said or something like that.

    The corruption stoped as soon as Missingno was gone.but the bad egg stayed. :\

    Okay...

    1. I'm pretty sure the bad egg thing is kind of like a catch-all for just about any breeding or trading glitch the game comes across. Like, say your link cable got screwed up, or something weird happened with your wireless connection. In any event, maybe the bad egg is kind of like the "catch" clause for any "exceptions" that might occur (Yeah, I'm using coding lingo... I'm a computer scientist; so sue me. I'm just using what I use at work. :/) Whenever the game comes across something it doesn't like during breeding or trading, it just creates a bad egg, and then the user has the option to stop that process (by storing the egg away and never touching it) or just let what was gonna happen happen and lose their game. Anyway, that's what I think.

    2. Sue Nintendo? Yeah, I can just see the judge's reaction to your claims:

    Guy 1: Dude! This game is totally whacked! Nintendo needs to compensate us for our mental anguish and severe nervous disorders brought on by the tragic loss of our beloved Pokemon!

    Guy 2: Yeah! What he said!

    Nintendo Representative: We feel that replacements for the cartridges are ample compensation. And as the game is incapable of corrupting the hardware of the Nintendo DS, no replacements are needed for them.

    Guy 1: But what about our Pokemon! Our games are fried! You can never replace them!

    Guy 2: Yeah! My poor lv. 100 shiny mew... (sniffles)

    Judge: I can't believe that you boys are wasting taxpayers' money and the court's time over imaginary creatures represented by game code... I rule in favor of Nintendo corporation. They will replace the afflicted game cartridges, and no further compensation will be made. Case dismissed.

    And that's just if Nintendo's feeling generous. You can always restart your game. You haven't REALLY damaged your hardware. It's just the game file that's corrupted.

    Now, if you're telling the truth (and I'm going to assume that you are) then there can really be no telling what caused the glitch. But I would think that anything that says "bad egg" would be enough cause for alarm that you wouldn't try to hatch it. I mean, it doesn't take a whole lot of intuition to see that something's not right. I would just trade whatever pokemon you want to keep over to another cartridge and start that one over. Really, there's nothing else you can do at this point, unless you want to play the game with that time bomb in your PC. :/
