Prior to that shrinking localization, I had heard something of it mentioned years before from a rough translation of something from Gen 1, but I just assumed it was forgotten early lore, like all the stuff with Celadon University, since (at least in the West) nothing capitalized on it. It was a shock to see that brought up again after all these years.
Pic related is something similar, a translation of Promotional Material for HGSS (maybe even GSC?) where Professor Elm discusses a discovery about eggs that totally changes how people should perceive them. For the life of me, I cannot find the original Japanese promotional letter again, but it is out there - just like the Celadon University brochure eventually got uploaded.
