Yes. Babies and eggs are quite fragile.

[...Thanks. After a pause, he blinks and says--]

...Hm. What is the difference between edible eggs in this world and Pokémon eggs? Are Pokémon eggs technically edible? [Another pause.] I wonder what would occur if one were to crack an egg open.

[ghoststanning]

Considering that my current theory that the Pokemon is grown in a pocket dimension inside of the egg shell, I'm pretty sure eating it would be a bad idea all around.

[Yeah Ray's distracted again. Congrats, Egon! His arms are now around you again.]

... Actually, know that you mention it, the egg shells seemed a lot tougher than most normal shells. Not that I tried breaking it, but just by knocking on it I could tell that they felt unusually thick.

[Luca hisses softly at Egon's comment. Venkman pats her on the shell reassuringly.]

No, they're not gonna break your babies. I won't let them be that stupid.

Egon, at this point, I've given up trying to figure out what's going on with the food here. It just leads to headaches.

[pkemeter]

If it is a pocket dimension, the shell would have to be powerful enough to prevent the dimension from expanding beyond its confines. Which would mean that all Pokémon inherently have trans-dimensional powers, which is not entirely beyond their demonstrated power. [They spit fire and do psychic stuff, dimensional barriers would be no problem. Wait until they see a real Chansey egg--Egon will lose his goddamn mind.] ...I'm sorry about forgetting the Inkay again. But at least this gives us another excellent opportunity to observe the hatching process with a larger sample size.

[ghoststanning]

Which might explain why the shells seem as tough as they are!

[Sorry Venkman he's just all in on the egg stuff now.]

It's a shame we don't have any shell fragments to study, huh?

[neverstudied]

It's fine, Egon. I'll be fine. Just don't bite my head off if I don't take perfect notes on the hatching or whatever. Especially if I have to "observe the hatching process" in a body cast.

... Actually, I might just go ahead and send you guys a couple of the eggs. That way, you can watch it yourself, and Ray can have his Inkay the moment its born.

[pkemeter]

Of course not. We would still have endless opportunities to observe the hatching process regardless of whether you are indisposed. [uh........] Could you? That would be excellent. I forgot to collect any shards that remained after Kölliker hatched, and I did not find any evidence for Denver. [it's fine eggs are their lives now]
