== Odd Egg ==
Hey Pie, I know you haven't edited in 6 years, but I figured I would give this a try anyway.
I'm trying to track down where the claim that the Odd Egg has a 50% Shiny rate in the Japanese version of Crystal came from. The details of the Odd Egg itself are [https://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php?topic=8045.msg206452#msg206452 not actually in the game's code itself]; the Egg was generated server-side, so it seems as if it would have been difficult to know what the actual Shiny rate was.
[[Special:Diff/54588|You added]] the claim that the rate was 50% to the [[Pokémon Egg]] page in 2006. Do you have any idea where you got this information? [https://web.archive.org/web/20020424105050/http://www.serebii.net/crystal/odd_egg.shtml Serebii], [https://web.archive.org/web/20011007030448/http://www.geocities.com:80/meowth346/gs/faq/EggTicket/EggTicket.htm Meowth346], and [https://web.archive.org/web/20030424175247/http://upc.pkmn.co.uk/games/crystal/oddegg.shtml UPC] had listed this specific claim since 2001-2003, so I would guess it was just a commonly held belief in the fandom at the time. (I asked Meowth346, but he doesn't remember where it came from, which is fair enough after almost 2 decades.) But if you do happen to know how we know this probability, I would certainly be interested. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 08:33, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
