Oddly enough, it's not labelled as "Bad Egg". Has the term changed for them?

Some people are calling them mystery eggs. Personally I'm part of the crowd that wants to see more proof of these existing, because their appearance (in the video citing them) came out one day after release.

I dunno, there are just some things that don't fully add up. Might be just a wanna-be hacker's attempt gone wrong now is being turned into creepypasta.

I think if the term for actual Bad Eggs is "Bad Egg" in the fifth generation games, I'll have to file this down as "dubious".

We could also call them Mystery Eggs, yeah. I suppose I'm used to that term from emerald.

Apparently this is less of a hack and more of a game-breaking bug.

Corrupted network packets?

I've heard something about this before, including both Pokémon completely disappearing and Pokémon turning into Bad Eggs. According to Bulbapedia, they likely are Wonder Trade errors and are dangerous to the entire PC box.

With this knowledge, I hope Bad Eggs don't become widespread once the Pokémon Bank releases.

If a trade goes wrong at the wrong moment, data corruption ensues. This is probably what happened.

Somehow, I think a Patch 1.2 is incoming.

Is it just me, or Is X and Y almost as glitchy as Red and Green?

Now I'm kinda anxious about Wonder Trading. I was hoping to eventually have a wonderful plethora of foreign Pokemon to breed shines with. Then again, doesn't seem all too common.

I was always fascinated about how game developers made these things to "solve" an internal problem. Try to access a non-existent Pokemon for some odd reason? Missingno.!
Walk/Surf/Cycle/Verb out of boundaries? Mystery Zone~
I find it interesting, just these little things not meant to be seen.

Maybe its the best for me that I dont get X or Y (since I dont have either or a 3DS yet) once most of the bugs and glitches have been patched and fixed. Its funny though that a lot of this stuff hasnt happened in the past few games. Guessing its because its running with new types of features that the game cant handle or read? Im no tech guru but thats my guess anyways.

I have had a bad egg thing happen to me once and only once on my firered one time. I had a lv68 hitmonlee, then somehow after awhile he turned into a badegg even though he was in my party and eveything.

Oh, that reminds me that I've gotten the Bag Egg before in LeafGreen. (In the last picture, I had renamed the box to "BAD EGG.")

If someone somehow gets a Bad Egg in a game, is it possible for said Egg to be removed by Nintendo support (provided that it's the physical copy and can be delivered)?

Probably, but Bad Eggs really should have a working Release button. I don't get why you can't release an egg.

Seeing as this is one of these very rare, but possible game-breaking bugs that seem to lie in how Internet connections aren't perfect, I think there might be a patch in the future that prevents and attempts to repair this bug.

Think it's likely?

I'm not entirely sure. It seems the Bad Eggs are a rather isolated case, and there isn't really any proof of how the bad eggs were "delivered" to his game. For all we know, it could be a failed hacking attempt.

I guess we should be glad that this is a freak accident - it doesn't seem like that it's affecting too many players.

I'm pretty sure every Bad Egg is spotted.
Oh, wait.

Jokes aside, I hope there's some sort of fix for this soon. I'm quite sure Nintendo doesn't want another Lumiose City incident on their hands.

Lol, this is the worst Bad Egg ever. Double negative.

Ive never had a bad egg. D:

So I've been wonder trading a bunch of Pokemon that are taking up box space like a bunch of Gabites I got when I searched for a hidden ability (which I never found) and then I traded a bunch of Mienfoos I got when searching for a Modest natured one back in White Version. So should I stop wonder trading or do you guys think this is just a fluke? I have over 600 Pokemon on my X and I don't want any corruptions.

Certain illegal Pokémon have made it through in the past, such as Gen II and V starters with Hidden Abilities (Contrary Snivy, for instance). However, they have since patched this hole. Snivy with Contrary can still be bred for more such Snivy, but neither the parents nor children are allowed on Rated Battles or in tournaments. There is a chance that Pokémon like these could turn into Bad Eggs, but the latest Bank rules have pretty much blocked most illegal Pokémon.

Here are several relevant definitions:

Kalos Pokémon: A Pokémon bearing the blue pentagon on its status.

Legal and legitimate: A Pokémon obtained fairly within the game.

Legal, but illegitimate: A Pokémon created with a third party tool that does meet the specifications of that Pokémon that can be obtained within the game.

Illegal: A Pokémon created with a third party tool that does not meet the specifications of that Pokémon that can be obtained within the game.

Hacked: An illegitimate Pokémon, which can be either legal or illegal.
