The term "'''Bad EGG'''" in the [[bp:Generation III|Generation III]] Pokémon games and later "'''Bad Egg'''" in the [[bp:Generation IV|Generation IV]] games, refers to an error handler which was presumably, originally used by the game developers to refer to individual Pokémon (as eggs) with [[bp:stats|stats]] which do not conform to the original
However, since after [[bp:Generation II|Generation II]] Pokémon in one sense are simply eggs with an additional byte with a value of 01 (ON) it is possible that a hatched Pokémon would also be taken by the game as a 'Bad Egg', which could suggest that the game developers did not expect other game developers to accidentally invalidate the checksum of a gift Pokémon with variable characteristics for example.
