Hi, /vp/,
I've found something very surprising when breeding some Pokemon in my Pearl game.
When I was trying to math out some specific breeding step counts, I found that it took 1380 steps to hatch a Magikarp. This would mean each egg cycle (if there were 6, as Bulbapedia says) takes 230 steps, not the 255 steps that everyone on the entire Internet says is the case.
To confirm this, I obtained a Rhyhorn egg and walked 2299 steps. At that point the egg's description said, "What will hatch from this? It doesn't seem close to hatching." Then I walked one additional step and the egg's description had changed to "It appears to move occasionally. It may be close to hatching." This means that going from 2299 to 2300 steps changed the number of remaining egg cycles.
I also just hatched a Starly and it took 3680 steps to hatch, which is 16 egg cycles of 230 steps each.
So egg cycles are—at least in my game—230 steps.
Could anyone confirm or refute this with their own experimental data?
