"General"?
I went to the Egg Lottery today, to decide if I wanted to give it a shot. On the list of eggs I could toss into it, the first one (ID# 115928) is apparently in my General box. I have no such box that I'm aware of, nor have I ever had a box with that name. Is Pokemon #115928 even mine? Where is it?

Re: "General"?
yeah, its yous - looks like an old bug where basically wherever the egg came from instead of putting it in the box it should have, it decided it didnt have that box to put it and then placed it wherever it liked.
I've moved it to your default box.

Re: "General"?
That egg does indeed belong to you but it's in Haru Totetsu's box. We did used to have a bug where Pokémon would be assigned to different user's boxes (but those different users couldn't access/use them, so don't worry about that) but I thought we fixed it a long time ago.
Unfortunately we don't track Pokémon movement so there's no way for me to know how it got there. It could be a remnant of that bug from a long time ago or a more recent, unknown bug. Until then all I can do is put the Pokémon in your 'Default' box and wait to see if such an issue crops up again so I can track it down.

Seems like WK_WC is too fast for me.

Re: "General"?
Weird. Well, I'll see about hatching it, then. Maybe finding out what's actually in it will tell me where it came from in the first place.
Edit to add: Well, that was fast. It hatched into a Tropius, which almost certainly means it came from breeding and failed (for whatever reason) to go into my Eggs box. Dunno if that helps you find the error or not. I'll put this one someplace safe to keep from donating it to the Range, just to make sure it exists for whatever you might want to look at. I've named him "Errant Weirdo" and moved him to my "Hoenn (252-386)" box.

Re: "General"?
yeah, that was the main location of this old bug - so not something we should be worried with until more users find that there is a new bug there.

Re: "General"?
Unfortunately there's not really any data it could provide to help track down the bug. The only way to track down the bug would be to determine where it came from. As you said it probably came from the Breeding Centre but as that's one of the most used features of the AA I would guess it's a remnant from an old bug, else we'd be seeing a lot more people experiencing this issue.Mordecham wrote:I'll put this one someplace safe to keep from donating it to the Range, just to make sure it exists for whatever you might want to look at.
