I keep getting unknown pokemon, like a circle with a question mark inside and when I catch one, it turns into a bad egg. That is my question, why does it turn into a bad egg and does it ever hatch?

Do you use an AR and you get those question mark Pokemon?

I get those alot. They turn into Bad eggs because they aren't a real Pokemon. Bad eggs do hatch but, they take a very long time to. People tell me they freeze your game when they hatch but,I never got one of mine to hatch yet so, I don't know if your game does freeze.

I have just submitted my guide on missingno's (that ? pokemon) and Bad EGGs. A Bad EGG is a missingno in an egg. Don't do this anymore until you have read my guide, because Bad EGGs can screw up your file data.

To get rid of it, trade it over to fire red/leaf green and put it in Box 1 slot 1. Now use the code in loadingnow's guide to get a Mew to replace it. Do not move the Mew, just save.

Sounds like someone Gameshark'd your game and gave it a bad code. You might want to restart the whole game from the beginning to remove the bad code.
