Can you save at the pokemon breeding center, being to ill your party with eggs, hatch them all, then check them at the IV calculator guy, and if you dont like them, instead of wasting time by releasing them/trading them away, can you just restart the game back at the breeding center and reget the eggs?
I ask mainly because I was told that the pokemons stats and all that are pre-determined when the egg is produced and is ready for pick up by the husband at the breeding center. With that said, getting different IV's and natures and what not on the hatched pokemon should differ each time right? All im doing is cutting out the releasing/trading away process...
Sadly no, that won't work. When the egg is generated, everything is already set. And they are set before the egg is even created, so it all depends on the rejection/acceptance of eggs to reset the IV spread and nature and such. And actually, if you have the Destiny Knot, the 5 IVs that are passed down are already generated before the parents even go into the daycare center.
(I'll try to condense this as much as possible into the most basic explanation)
If you DON'T have the destiny knot and/or are just breeding to get pokemon and/or egg moves and/or natures, the egg you get is already fixed, so saving before it hatches doesn't help, you need to keep getting new eggs in order to get the nature and ability you want. You COULD however save before the egg is generated, find out what it is and if you don't want it, reset and reject the egg instead of hatching a bunch of eggs you don't want, but that egg that gets generated will be the same so if you don't want it, you'll need to reject it as resetting won't help.
Now, if you DO have the destiny knot and want to breed for IVs, the same rules apply but also the IVs that are pased down are decided upon before the parents even go into the daycare. The easiest thing to do is get a bunch of Rare Candies from the GTS, then save. Level up the pokemon parents until you know what their IVs are and write them down. Reset game. Load game (so it is at the point BEFORE you used the Rare Candies) put those parents into the daycare center and save. Walk around until an egg is produced. Level up until you can figure out what IV's it has and most importantly which ones were passed down from each parent. If Hp, Att and Def are passed down from Father and Sp Def and Speed are passed down from mother (for example, they could be ANY 5 IVs) and those are NOT the stats you want passed down, reset and then run around till that egg is produced again and then REJECT IT. Then save. Repeat until you get the stats you want to be passed down. THEN, as long as you save right after you reject a previous egg, go into the daycare center, switch out the parents who have the stats you want (since you now know which stats are going to be passed down) then save, run around and the new egg will have the same stats passed down that the previous egg you hatched but didn't save except that the stats passed down this time will be from the new parents you put in.
It all depends on how complicated you want to get.
