Why not?

Why not making the Egg from diffrent Types look diffrent?
like an example (fire gets red dots...and so on?)
pretty boring don´t you think saaaame old pale color

Because making the different in-game sprites would take up the ever so precious memory space.
I thik the may fit a lil better under the diamond/pearl disccussion thread.

well do they need so much space?
do they need so much blank spaces then?

There are 16 egg types
Not to mention the various combinations/permutations of eggs from pokemon with multiple egg types. That could lead upto 240 different eggs and, depending on how much memory each sprite would take, could lead to a large amount of memory taken up.

Lol @ blank space. If they could put this random junk in, they would put it in. Space IS limited.

And it's not like everyone stares at the eggs before they hatch.

Rolf !Throw a Master ball at a level 3 gyrados Will ya get a grip im just thoutin about Pimping stuff up

..... What?
And you can't stuff in 16 different egg sprites, or it would take up too much memory that could be used better for other stuff.

And because the game designers didn't want to.

Egg are misterious, we mustn´t know what´s inside (put a lot of eggs in your box from diferent mothers, then try to discover after amonth).

And yes, this belongs to D/P discussion forum

You din't pay attention to my post. there are 16 different egg types. BUT several poekmon have dual egg types like horsea is water/dragon.
Which means they'd have to put in space for about 240 egg designs to cover all the possible permutations of the egg types.
If it was just 16 then it would be easy... but it's actually closer to 200

and at that point, your discussion wouldn't be about why there is only one egg color, but why each pokemon doesn't have it's own individual egg color

like people have said it takes up too much space, but it would be cool for egg spirtes tho
