Bad EGG = MissingNo?
 
I just got a bad EGG trying to trade a Pokemon from my Ruby to my Sapphire. It was supposed to be a Raichu, but it ended up turning into a Bad EGG. I wonder if the bad EGG is a MissingNo or not? I think this was caused by a bad link cable. If the bad EGG does hatch, will it delete your game, or will it just hatch into another egg?

Nessie August 25th, 2004 11:12 AM

Don't worry pal, there is not proof that bad egg can harm your game, it only uses one existent space in your boxes, so put it in a box, if you want to get rid of it, you can substitute it in the box1, space 1 for another pokemon (with a game shark).

This bad egg is produced by a gltch in game, or some people that make mistakes with GS,but it's not harmfull, and never hatch.

HellishHades August 25th, 2004 12:56 PM

Bad Eggs can cause your game to regularly crash/hang. That's reason enough to get rid of them.

Bad Eggs are created when a Pokémon's data is not properly encrypted. When the game tries to decrypt the data, it doesn't create a valid Pokémon, so it puts a Bad Egg there instead. Since the game properly encrypts a Pokémon's data when you catch it, I highly doubt that Bad Eggs could be created without the use of cheating devices, lest you traded while your battery was low (an unfinished monster would be traded, and hence, a Bad Egg).

As Nessie suggested, you should overwrite the Bad Egg with another Pokémon created by a cheating device.

sometimes if your pokemon that you put in the daycare is holding an item it can turn out to be a bad egg,i tired it once with a pikachu holding a master ball and the egg hatched and my screen turned black

Nessie August 25th, 2004 1:22 PM

Woaahh that is really weird, my bad eggs never hatched they appear as a result of my butterfingers with the game shark, but i deleted them later.

AdamHays August 25th, 2004 1:48 PM

thats what happend i saw something that said to do that to duplicate an item and that happend

Toothache August 25th, 2004 1:50 PM

And this is why cheating in your game is a bad thing...

BigBoss August 25th, 2004 1:53 PM

Bad Egg=Destoyed game if you use the fast egg hatch code on it for a LONG time. just leave your bad eggs alone.

HellishHades August 25th, 2004 6:09 PM

Don't save your game if you get a Bad Egg from a code. If you somehow lose your head and save anyway, then use a correct code to overwrite the Bad Egg. It's as simple as that.

zsun_44 August 26th, 2004 1:14 AM

bad egg just simply destroys your game permanently. it usually occurs when you entered an invalid gameshark code. so if you have the bad egg, DO NOT hatch it. i wish there arent any bad eggs in emerald.

TikalFan2K4 August 26th, 2004 4:40 AM

I know there's a Missingno in Ru/Sa, but it's only with Action Replay. (It looks like a Mac floppy disk with a question mark)

And, I really hope Emerald has all 386 Pokemon.

There has to be Bad Eggs. What else would the game put in that Pokémon's slot if it has invalid data? If a Pokémon's data is not properly encrypted, then it could cause even more serious damage to your game if it were not displayed as a Bad Egg.

At least you can get rid of Bad Eggs, and they are isolated within that Pokémon's data. You cannot do much with a Bad Egg (eggs period, for that matter); it's better to have Bad Eggs than to have strange variable values running about your game. Imagine what damage it could cause if you could take a corrupted Pokémon into battle. You can't do such things with a Bad Egg, which makes them safer.

Yes, there is always a good explanation for things, this should shut up those people that always cry ''nintendo created bad eggs because they want to punish us for use cheating devices!''. :badsmile:

Jay12345 August 26th, 2004 11:48 AM

You cheaters diserve it, cheating is for people who can't beat the game on their own. I mean seriously, pokemon is very easy to beat the game, but finishing the pokedex is a bit harder. Nintendo did the egg thing for money because you need both games for all pokemon.

It takes the fun out of it if you cheat...

HellishHades August 26th, 2004 12:28 PM

Breeding and/or catching a decent Pokémon for battle is quite time-consuming in itself. EV and level training on top of that makes it even more time consuming to raise level 100 monsters. Restarting the game to get additional TMs and held items is another factor.

After I have beaten the game, I use the Action Replay to save me the time of raising proper level 100 Pokémon, because I simply do not have hours upon hours of time to catch and train near-perfect Pokémon. Cheating doesn't always have to take the fun out of a game.

Jay12345 August 26th, 2004 12:37 PM

I have 23 level 100 pokemon on Gold, without cheating.

Charizard, Feraligator, Blastoise, Pikachu, Flareon, Dragonite, Unknown Z, Menagium, Typhlosion, Lapras, Lugia, Ho-Oh, Scizor, Heracross, Pinsir, Shiny Gyrados, Shiny Rapidash, Mewtwo, Articuno, Moltres, Zapdos, Furret, and Ledian

Some of those were traded of course.

Nessie August 26th, 2004 1:36 PM

Congratulations Jay, you earned this medal!! XD.

I only ''cheat'' (cheat?, cheat what? XD), to get TM's and some shiny's like Charizard (sorry, but i won't reset my game until i get a shiny charmander in fire red).So, well if you think is cheat is ok, but i like my shinys.

Jay12345 August 26th, 2004 2:17 PM

Uh dude, I mean a gameshark.

It dosn't matter if you reset like 500 times untill you get a shiny starter, I'm saying actualy hacking into the game to get 99 master balls and a full pokedex. It just takes all the fun out of wining.

I give that to you, you are right, but (there is always a but), when you had finished the game,and have the pokedex conplete since a year ago...the best thing is...raise teams, that's what i like, rise teams to go with friends and have fights, it's the only reason why i still have my ruby version, for the fights!.So, you must know that to raise teams one need many TM'S and stuff like that.

Jay12345 August 26th, 2004 2:32 PM

You don't need many tm's, most pokemon have good leveling up moves. My Sableye is at lvl 100 and is very good. I only used leveling moves, and I haven't lost a single battle.

Simon August 26th, 2004 2:46 PM

What does 99 Master Balls and a Full PokeDex have to do with winning? Capturing some Pokemon doesn't gaurantee a win.

In my book, in-game battles versus the idiot trainers don't count. As a matter of fact, in my book, any battles not played online against real battlers don't count.

You have a point, my friends are reallly tough, i don't wanna face them with a EV's messed pkmn.

I have to raise them with good EV training, and also care for their IV's, not time to mess a pkmn in the elite 4....(mess, because of the undesired EV'S).

Jay12345 August 26th, 2004 2:58 PM

Yes I know, because everyone knows computers are very simple. They most likely use a random move generator and they are only given an item once in a while. For example, in the 5th gym in ruby where you fight your father, I went to the strength room, and the trainer didn't use his X Attack until the fourth move. Also this other one used moonlight on full health.

Anyway, I don't fight computer trainers anymore unless they see me, Humans are a lot better.

HellishHades August 26th, 2004 3:23 PM

There will always be different levels of cheating and people who accept different levels of cheating (or not at all). There will also be people who like to battle in-game, and those who like to battle competetively (with infinite TMs, near-perfect IVs and EVs, et cetera).

This thread was created to help TikalFan2K4, not to debate the ethics of cheating and/or how you should battle; and I think we provided the information he needed. frostweaver or some other RSE mod should lock this thread.

HanaTanaka October 10th, 2004 6:06 PM

Bad egg? I hate my Ruby, it's completely glitched up, so tell me how to get a bad egg. I don't care if it wrecks my game, I just don't want my Ruby anymore. And isn't a bad egg supposedly a MissingNo inside it when it hatches?
