I'm hoping I didn't wait too long to ask this, but is it normal for some eggs to take a really long time to hatch? I've had it, uh... Let's see|

I think since the start of this month? I had two and one already hatched, but the second one still hasn't done anything. I didn't mess anything up, did I? If I did, is there any way to fix it? Will it still hatch, and if it does, would it be okay? I'm not even sure what it's supposed to be yet, but I'm starting to get worried.

let me know if the color bothers you!

[eclectictype]

do not worry!
some eggs take longer than others!
they are late bloomers
or hatchers should i say hehe :)
it seems that the "rarer" a pokemon is the longer it takes for them to cycle through to hatching
its a little weird but you get used to it!

colors are perfectly fine! almost all of my characters end up adopting colors after awhile too

[bertall]

You're sure??
What, uh|

What makes them rare, exactly? And how do you know which ones are and which ones aren't? Excluding stuff like Rattata, I mean.

[eclectictype]

honestly..........
while some are a no brainer others are stupidly asinine :P
but they are mostly straightforward!!!
like ones you do not encounter commonly in the wild or super duper amazing "legendary" types like dragon
so an eevee can take a while to hatch because it is technically a genetic anomaly of a pokemon and considered rare as opposed to the aforementioned rattata
actually what is your egg supposed to be if its alright to ask? :o

[bertall]

To tell the truth? I'm not really sure.

I only asked my friend to surprise me with a couple when he ended up with a bunch of eggs. The first one that hatched was a little blue bird-looking thing with cloud wings, but that was almost two weeks ago. If it was the same thing I think the other one would've hatched by now.

[eclectictype]

wow!!!! a surprise egg!!!
but yes that does make it a little more difficult to determine what the caramel center is actually :|a
still the first one sounds like a swablu!
i have one of those :)
they evolve into a bigger cloud bird that is also part dragon type for some reason?
maybe the other is a dragon!
so still i wouldnt worry so much about it not hatching right away
it will eventually! :D

[exeggutorhead]

I dunno some eggs take a while

some take even longer than they should like sometimes months longer

never heard of one dying or anything though so it's probably fine I doubt you'd be the very first person with a dud egg

[bertall]

Months?? Seriously?

[exeggutorhead]

yeah it wasn't one of mine but my girlfriend might show up and tell you the story

she thought it WAS dead

he hatched kind of creepy looking but he's a good pokemon

just uh

well hopefully yours won't be that late

[bertall]

What was even in it???

[exeggutorhead]

oh uh

Tyrogue I think it was called

In person;

[schachmeister]

[Because they live together and texting would be ridiculous.]

I really don't think you have to worry. See, my egg hasn't hatched either yet.

[Armin runs a hand over the warm surface of his egg, noting a few more small cracks.]

Though I think it will do so very soon.

[bertall]

_{[Well, unless someone is too lazy to get up and get something themselves. Bertolt has been guilty of it a few times, but shh.]}

Mine hasn't even moved. Pilvi's was doing that when it was getting close, but...

_{[Bertolt frowns a little and pulls his legs up under himself.]}

I don't want anything bad to happen.

[schachmeister]

[They are all going to get fat and lazy here. What an amazing idea.]

I think that sort of thing is understandable, though you are probably worrying too much.

What kind of pokemon will it hatch into? There might be some more information available about how long their eggs take to hatch on average.

[bertall]

I'd rather worry too much than not at all, though.

_{[He is a worrier, damn it!]}

But, um... I don't know. I told Sion to surprise me.

[schachmeister]

Ah.

[That... makes it a little hard to figure out what it might be. Unless--

logically thinking, if they take Sion's list of available eggs and cross of anything they know it cannot be they could still come to a likely candidate for Bertolt's egg.]

Well, we know it cannot be another swablu or a dratini.

[Being that it is taking much longer to hatch than Bertolt's other egg and the only available dratini egg had gone to Armin.]

[islandshore]

Some eggs take forever.

Dragons, especially.

Best advice I can give if you wanna speed things up is to grab something with Flame Body, like a Slugma or a Volcarona. Keep 'em close, let 'em incubate a bit.

Won't make them hatch automatically, but it does help.

[bertall]

I have an Arcanine, wouldn't that work too? Or does it have to be one of those two?

...Also how do you know what kind of egg you have? I asked my friend to surprise me with two and the first one that hatched was one of the blue birds with cloud wings, uh... Swablu?

[islandshore]

Pretty sure Arcanines have Flash Fire and not Flame Body. The key's in the ability. There might be other options besides those two, and other fire types could still probably help. It's just for the best results, I guess.

As for the eggs, you can guess based on a few factors. Size, color, weight. Obviously, a lapras egg is gonna be bigger than a diglett.

[bertall]

Where would I get one?

And um. It looks like a normal egg color to me. It's not that heavy either, but I guess that depends what people count as heavy?

[islandshore]

First spot that comes to mind is Mt. Mortar. It's usually a decent spot to grab fire types. Or if you wanna travel, Cinnabar Island's volcano has plenty to offer.

But again, that's a bit of a trip.

[callbacks]

look just whatever you do
dont try to put it in the microwave

[bertall]

Why would I put a Pokemon in the microwave?

[callbacks]

it might seem like an expeditious way to incubate but its one hundred percent not and also
eggs explode in the microwave

[bertall]

they what
please tell me you never put one in there

[callbacks]

not a POKEMON egg im not a monster
an eating egg
an egg for eating
an eategg
