Hey guys,

Here is an idea that popped in my head while getting excited over this new Pokemon game.
I'd really love to see that they would make unique sprites for every Pokemon's egg. These eggs/sprites shall be based on what will hatch from the eggs.

They've already done it in the anime, they for example made special eggs for a Mudkip, and one we might all know: Togepi. I'd think this would be a cool enhancement for us breeders out there (like me).

I'd love to see how you guys think about it :D

I think it'd be something that'd be hard to implement but as Pokemon continuously evolves I could see it being possible. I think it'd work better from type to type though so only having 17 different types. I mean water type eggs can't vary that much between them.

This is something that would really personalize each and every Pokémon and really make those people who say that The Pokémon Company are running out of ideas and just recycling older Pokémon and basically meshing them together, for the most part, as far as concepts go. I really don't understand why so many people feel that way, because from what I've seen (yes, even with Mijimaru) is that each of them seem to be very different than any of the other Pokémon, which seems to be a daunting task when it comes to make a new game since there are so many Pokémon as it is, it seems to be really hard for people to assume that every one of them are going to be brand spankin' new. But yes! I would really, really love to see individualized Pokémon eggs per Pokémon.

Yeah I just took a look at them and that's exactly what I was thinking of :D
I am already getting excited over something that doesn't even exist (yet :P)

Logistically, this makes the most sense and those who want new pokemon eggs would be pleased with this change. I know I would be a big fan of it. It would also be a middle ground for people who don't want to lose the randomness of eggs, because you'd only know the type, not the exact species.

Yeah it'd be tough to make a unique design for every single first-in-its-evolutionary-chain pokémon but I could definitely see them making eggs a color that corresponds to their type like the TM discs, as Waffle-san proposed. That seems perfectly manageable to me but I doubt they'd go all out and design an egg for every single pokémon.

being able to differentiate between eggs, (other than the Date) would be a huge help to the big time breeder, but it would also kinda kill the mystery egg giveaway thing, since you could probably tell which poke it is or at least the type. if they do this at all that is. :)

But a Porygon egg looks VASTLY different from a Clefairy egg, as does a Togepi egg.

Fun fact:

The Happiny egg you receive in D/P version actually has a slightly different sprite from the other eggs you otherwise obtain.

It just look cute!
But if it's not that neccessary that can have it left out.

It'd be nice, but I won't accept. Mystery Eggs are mysterious. And if we imagine each egg is like 40x40 pixels, around 600 of these sprites won't be easy, especially that these spriters get paid, unlike us, and the Toy Soldier I created in TerraWorld that they ripped me off and used, with no credit to me. who aren't paid for ROM-Hack Sprites or Game Development. So, no, fat chance.

Yes, this. :'D Well, I don't want them to literally take the designs (though it'd be SO hard to get used to a new "official" set of eggs after completing my non-legend dex on GPX+ xD) but I LOVE the idea that GPX+ ran with. I love looking at eggs and trying to guess what's inside.

I think it'd be neat if you could just find eggs lying around in the region, like abandoned outside of Pokémon nests or something, and pick them up and wander. You might not know exactly what's inside but the patterns on the outside of the egg could be a hint. :D Something like that would be pretty cool but I wouldn't see the use for it otherwise. u_u

Alternatively, still pulling ideas from GPX+, each egg could have an extra description. So not only does it tell you how far along the egg is, but there could be a personalized description for each egg. That way you could still tell what an egg was by checking its summary but otherwise, if you're just grabbing randomly from a box, you can still do mystery eggs giveaways.

Individual Eggs would be so much easier, then I wouldn't have accidentially traded away my Bonsly when I was trying to give my friend a Dratini
