Gen 6 Bad eggs from Wonder Trade?!?!

[Hikki]

I recently discovered that you can get a thing called a bad egg from Wonder Trade. It is not cause by hackers but a glitch in the system. Apparently if you hatch it or get it in close proximity to PC Pokemon they will be infected and bad eggs will infect all your PC pokemon. Then, your game will crash and it will NO LONGER BE PLAYABLE! Look here----> Procedures for dealing with a bad egg in your pc:

1. Do not touch the egg! That means no checking moves, stats, anything. It may have an item attached, do not attempt to retrieve the item!

2. The box the bad egg is in is immediately QUARANTINED.

3. Immediately remove all Pokemon from the quarantined box. They can and WILL
be corrupted if they remain in close proximity to the bad egg.

4. Do not , I repeat, DO NOT attempt to withdraw the egg. Do NOT attempt to hatch the egg.

5. Your primary goal is to save all your Pokemon from infection. Treat a bad egg like you would a zombie pathogen that spreads via air.

6. Your secondary goal is to avoid the Pokemon "-----". At all costs.

EKK! Scary isn't it? Wonder Trade at your own risk guys!

I belelive you can release the bad egg, unlike normal eggs.

Wasn't that patched ? I believe it was.
Plus, the "glitch" term is odd, as a Pokémon's data wouldn't glitch normally. So it means that Bad Egg spreaders either messed with their saves (PowerSaves or AR3DS if it exists, just to name a few), or really did weird things with their saves.
In any case, this isn't supposed to happen, and was technically a protection against hacked Pokémons.

Jup it was patched so that people who mess up their save can´t send their bad egg to others. (Why would people do that any way?!) If you totally mess up your safe and get a bad egg it´s your own problem now.

I am aware of this, and I remember a thread being posted about this a while ago. (I can't remember, but I think I made it myself)
The Bad Egg was a major glitch in the system, but, as of update 1.3 for Pokemon X/Y, this problem was completely eliminated, and had any associated bugs ironed out. Besides, the chances of recieving a bad egg are pretty low, so I wouldn't be worried.

how do you know if it's a bad egg?

You know how it is impossible to get or send eggs through wonder trade? You will either receive an egg through it or it will be an outrageous Pokemon like a shiny Groundon. But, like the others said, this has (almost) been completely fixed, except forr those hackers that want to ruin people games.
