    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

    The spoiler contains a link to Bulbapedia with information on Pokemon eggs.

    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.
     
    I wouldn't mind since when I'm trading eggs to other people I often trade the wrong one since they all look the same.
     
    That'd be cool but it'd be hard to do, like Waffle-san said. Also, imagine the egg getting a different cracking animation, like the pokemon coming out of the egg. Hard to do but thatd be super awesome.
     
    Yeah it'll most likely be a hard job to do, but I think the result will be greatly appreciated :D
     
    NOOOOOO I love my mystery eggs! That's the whole fun of sending your friend an egg!
     
    I like the idea personally. The Eevee one May had was great. but we'll see what they do with Eggs.
     
    i guess its cool... its not rly a necessary implement though. its also cool not knowing what pokemon ur going to get from an egg too.
     
    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.
     
    They Should, For example take https://Gpxplus.net/ They have Eggs for even legendary pokemon and novelties! Nintendo can make at least pokemon that do hatch out of Eggs!
     
    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)
     
    I see what you mean, even though there are so little amounts of Eggs in the anime, they all have their own different looks, and that is unique, so it would be fun to have it like that.

    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.
