===Spotlight on: Pokémon eggs===
===Who's that Pokémon: Palkia===
* '''Pokémon eggs''' were introduced as a major franchise mechanic in [[Generation II]] along with the introduction of [[Pokémon breeding]].
* '''Palkia''' (Japanese: '''パルキア''' ''Palkia'') is a major character who first appeared in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''.
* According to a girl in [[Solaceon Town]] near the [[Pokémon Day Care]], no one has ever seen a Pokémon lay an egg, and so it is not confirmed that this is how they appear. The [[Day-Care Couple|Day-Care Man]] always comments that he does not know how the egg got there when giving it to the player.
* Palkia engaged in a massive battle with {{an|Dialga}} in [[Alternate dimension|another dimension]], where it got injured by Dialga's {{m|Roar of Time}}. It fled to [[Pokémon world|the dimension]] of {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|the rest}}. Palkia's presence caused the other dimension to be disintegrated into the Ash's dimension little by little.
* {{p|Manaphy}} is the only Pokémon in the [[main series]] games to be depicted with a unique egg design—all other Pokémon use a generic egg sprite.
* Palkia was followed by Dialga, and the two started to fight in [[Alamos Town]]. Only magnifying the volume of the song "[[Oración]]" was able to soothe both Pokémon and cause them to stop fighting. After the insisting of Ash and {{an|Dawn}}, Palkia returned things to the way they were.
* In the anime, as well as some spin-off games, eggs' shells are shown to have physical appearances of the contained Pokémon.
* Palkia was only mentioned in a flashback of its battle with Dialga in [[Alamos Town]] in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.
* ''[[EP263|Address Unown]]'' reveals that Pokémon can see outside their eggs.
* In ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', it was revealed that Palkia and Dialga's fight was caused by their dimensions intersecting due to {{an|Arceus}}'s awakening. To prevent the two from fighting again, [[Sheena]] used her powers to touch a Pokémon's heart to reach Palkia and explain, ending the feud with Dialga once and for all.
* In [[My Pokémon Ranch]], [[Hayley]] will trade her {{p|Mew}} for an egg after there are 999 Pokémon in the ranch.
* Palkia helped protect Ash and friends from Arceus's attacks, but it was seriously injured alongside Dialga and {{an|Giratina}}. When Ash and the others successfully changed the timeline, Arceus healed Palkia and the other two, and Palkia returned to its own dimension to live peacefully once more.
* In [[Pokémon Battle Chess BW Version]], a {{p|Victini}} egg acts as the equivalent of a king piece in chess. The egg can take three hits before it hatches, and Victini can take one before fainting. If this Victini faints, the controlling player loses.
* Palkia was shown to know {{m|Spacial Rend}}, {{m|Aura Sphere}}, {{m|Hyper Beam}}, and {{m|Protect}}, which it all used first in ''The Rise of Darkrai''.
* Despite the concept of Pokémon eggs not yet being introduced, [[Mr. Fuji]]'s {{p|Doduo}} was shown to have hatched from an egg in ''[[PS013|Sigh for Psyduck]]''.
* Also before the introduction of Pokémon eggs, {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} eggs appeared in [[Pokémon Snap]].
