Introduction of Egg Pokemon?

[Greencat]

What do you think is going to happen with the introduction of Egg Pokemon? I'm wondering if they are going to pretend they haven't been discoved and/or give you Togpi or someother Pokemon OR maybe not even do it at all. What do you think?

[wraith89]

As in Bonsly and Munchlax and the likes? Probably. They did that in FR/LG... and it's Gamefreak we're talking about. Anything could happen. The fact that you need incense to breed the newer baby forms means they'll just put the incense out of reach or something.

[randomspot555]

I remember way back in Gen II, incest was programmed into the games so that those two Pokemon won't breed.

That was taken out in Gen 3.

Hmm.

Hmm.

So was that why my two Electabuzzes were brimming with energy? I caught BOTH from the wild and couldn't understand why that happened. Is it dependent on similar IVs?

[chycorita]

Since Johto didn't have a regional dex, I think all the pokemon will be available...(With the incense)

[AtomicGreymon]

I don't think Greencat is necessarily talking about the Pokemon you need incense to breed.

But wasn't one of the main points at the beginning of the original Gold/Silver that you were sent on an errand to Mr. Pokemon's house to obain what was supposedly a Pokemon egg? The big deal at the time of the original release, was that Pokemon breeding and eggs was a totally new concept to both the gamer, and the game characters. For whatever reason, the various Pokemon Professors hadn't yet discovered that Pokemon can breed just like any other biological lifeform (duh, guys ).

But now that Pokemon breeding is such an old concept for the people playing the game, it might make the beginning of the remake seem a bit odd, as we're all used to it; but the people in the game have never heard of Pokemon eggs before. At least, if the remake is done exactly as the original.

Its almost guaranteed that Johto will have a regional dex in the remake.

Also, the omnipresence of egg pokemon is impossible for game freak to ignore; HGSS would lose huge popularity if you couldn't breed in it *cough* new egg moves */cough* among other things, and loss of popularity = loss of money. Game freak needs money atm, badly. They're more then willing to edit gen II to make us happy. And if they aren't, then they'll put in the orange islands like the Sevii islands in FR/LG. I might add that at one point, I never left the Sevii islands in Frlg, which seems kind of sad.

[Greencat]

Yeah, that's what I meant, TM2-Megatron. =/

I don't know where people got the incense idea.

I'm wonderign is how are they are going to introduce it this time. Last time, it was new, but after everyone knowing about it, what are they going to do?

[FLOOTENKERP]

I think they will just discover it once again. This should be in the speculation thread, shouldn't it? It's a simple question, not a sarcastic rhetorical question.

[Klaatu]

Finally, the inceses have an excuse for existing

To prevent you from breeding newer pre-evos till you get far enough.....

This really depens on how much they are willing to change the games. Considering Togepi it should be the same.

[Greencat]

I'm not talking about the Inceses. I already said this 2 times. >_>

[Endless Eden]

well it is a direct remake certain parts of the story will change(i think)but eggs should remain the same(the whole mr.pokemon thing)

[Fallen]

They'll probably just end up giving you an egg to avoid confusing the younger fan base.

[Aarux]

They'll probably just give you an egg and say, "We've never seen this type of egg before." or "Eggs are rarely found in Johto, we'd like you to give this to Prof. Elm for examination." Or... something.

I don't think they'll pretend we don't know about eggs.

This sounds most likely. Game freak is probably going to do that to avoid the confusion as stated above.

[FLOOTENKERP]

It's not a big deal. There's a guy in Hearthome City that says eggs were discovered in Johto. It would cause confusion not to rediscover the egg.

That could happen or maybe he'll say something that reminds old players and tells new players where the whole egg thing came from so they know how it started, at least thats what i think will happen.

[FLOOTENKERP]

Or they will stick to the original plot. It's really not that big of a deal, how much confusion could it cause?

[Aarux]

Uhh... if I never played G/S/C and knew what Eggs were by playing games that came out later, and got HG/SS, I'd be confused.

If Nintendo put that the game took place a long time before eggs were found, then maybe... just maybe it'd work.

I agree. I bet they'll question on what is in the egg, rather than what is the egg itself.

What would cause more confusion is to have a guy say that a scientist in Johto discovered the Pokémon egg, and have no discovery at all. And if a kid never heard of Johto, then it would cause more confusion for the hiker to tell you about Johto in the first place. See where I'm going at? This is a remake; Why not rediscover the famous Togepi egg?

[Aarux]

That's just my opinion on what should happen.

Rediscovering it would be fine, I just find it pretty stupid since we already know what an egg is.

Purely... opinion.

[Mewtwo Ex]

However this is a remake.

[pokemonfan]

Ok, I never played G/S/C but from what it looks like I think this should happen...

They should give you an egg, say that pokemon eggs were discovered a long time ago by a scientist in Johto, tell you that pokemon eggs are rare and wonderful things, and that the full extent of pokemon breeding remains unknown to pokemon professors. Then you run off happily ever after with your pokemon egg.

Yeah... that sounds about right.

Mr. Pokemon (That's his name, right?) is the one who discovered them. I think.
