Ive been trying to breed a shiny for a long time now and have hatched numerous eggs. I recently got the Blue Ditto with the help of a game link and Pokemon Blue. So I'm in the process of making lots of eggs with my Blue Ditto and currently a Charizard, in hopes of hatching a shiny Charmander. Can I save the game right before the hatch, and turn the game on and off hatching the same egg until one is shiny or do I carry a bunch of eggs with me at once like I've been doing? This is for the Pokemon Crystal btw, Gameboy Color. Also, will the egg be a different color if it's shiny or does one not know until it hatches?
