Despite [[time]] being an introduced concept in Generation II, the amount of time left until a Pokémon hatches from its Egg is instead determined by the number of steps taken by the player when it is in the party. | Despite [[time]] being an introduced concept in Generation II, the amount of time left until a Pokémon hatches from its Egg is instead determined by the number of steps taken by the player when it is in the party. | ||
Eggs utilize the same memory allocation as Pokémon, so the coding structure is very similar. What would be the [[friendship]] value in a Pokémon is the [[Egg cycle]] count for an Egg. Unlike friendship, this value counts down after every 256 steps (255 from [[Generation IV]] on), rather than increasing. When the count reaches zero, the Egg will hatch. The number of Egg cycles required for an Egg to hatch is determined by its species and is determined at creation. | Eggs utilize the same memory allocation as Pokémon, so the coding structure is very similar.

If multiple Eggs end their final Egg cycles on the same step, the first egg obtained will hatch, and each subsequent step will hatch another. | ||
The number of Egg cycles that an Egg has left determines what is displayed on its status screen. When an Egg has more than 10 Egg cycles remaining, it will display, "Wonder what's inside? It needs more time, though." When the Egg's cycles have dipped below that, but are still above 5, it will display, "It moves around inside sometimes. It must be close to hatching." When the Egg has less than 5 cycles remaining, it will display, "It's making sounds inside! It's going to hatch soon!" | The number of Egg cycles that an Egg has left determines what is displayed on its status screen.
