I've got High Plains as well, which I think is a little weird -- I moved out of the REAL High Plains years ago, before the 3DS ever came out; there are no High Plains anywhere in California but Game Freak set it that way anyway.

As for the "bad egg" stuff -- I SERIOUSLY doubt the "contagious" nature the article seems to mention. It's true that you can't release a bad egg into the wild, so it's possible that a streak of bad luck combined with this fact could eventually fill up your boxes with bad eggs if you wonder trade a LOT, but we're looking at modern software design here. This isn't Red/Blue. The "bad egg" is an error handler (much like Missingno) but I can't imagine it would set off data-corrupting bugs in unrelated parts of code like Missingno did.

@Ashy
Now I must put tons of bidoof up for trade! All the bidoof!

yeah not cool man

I hate it when people catch junk pokemon and put them in the Wonder Trade. I feel like a douche throwing them back in when I get them from other people. I have put a lot of Volt Tackle Pichu's (that I bred) and Female Ivysaurs (that I caught trying to get the hidden ability one) in and I hope that people actually like those. xP

I save my eevees for GTS. Well, every now and again I'll do a wonder trade with one.

But I just lol'd literally. I put a fletchling in wonder trade....got a fletchling XD It was beautiful

Then I traded a bidoof for a fletchling...then a fletchling for a bidoof lol

i normally put my hatched egg pokemon in the wonder trade >w< where im trying to get shiny pokemon and certain genders/stats.

so like starters and then i have put a good number of fossil pokemon out there xD

I put an eevee up for a houndour. If the pokemon only has trades up for a legendary I say screw it and put up an eevee saying I want that pokemon XD

yeah ive got a fair amount of pokemon i want by putting up an eevee or a ditto, remember, japanese people need other region things too :P

I don't care about regions really...I just like the exp bonus from someone else owning it.

i care about regions.. better shiny chances >w>

i trade my vivillons a lot of times for the jap people offering.. D: most people ask for crazy trades!

I do the -wander in circles training- ...is that a green ursaring? IS THAT A SHINY?! I MUST HAZ! -catches- -pets first ever shiny caught- my precious.

lol xD i think my first shiny was a mareep way back like when mareep was in the proper gen (2nd?) its kinda my goal each time to catch one or trade my old one .. so im waiting on the pokemon bank so i can move Candy to my new game :)

My first shiny was a Stunfisk. I'm not sure if it has terrible IVs or what, because it really sucks. I actually like it's shiny too. :/

My last one was a shiny Mienfoo in White 2 i just remembered

The pattern on Vivillion's wings changes in accordance to the region in which it is caught. This is why a Vivillion from a faraway land is more valuable than it might otherwise be.
