i was trying to breed pokemon and it wouldnt work. I got two pokemon that were in the same egg group, but not the same type does that affect it?? i dont want to use Ditto!!!
 
Were they the same gender? That's the only thing that comes to mind. If they're in the same Egg Group they should breed.

Unless they haven't bred yet. Are you sure the Day Care man said they prefer to play with other Pokes?
 
it happened more than once. the pokemon were in the same family but one was electric and one was fire. then one was water and one was ice. i checked after walking 5,000 steps and still nothing. i jus hope that i can breed pokemon, something i was really looking forward to. i jus want to know is there a way to find out whether or not they will produce an egg before leaving them at day care?
 
Google helps as well, knew there was detailed information about the old man sayings somewhere:

The chances of getting an egg depend on the parents' species and ID number (both visible and hidden ID numbers). The following cases may occur:

Same species, different ID numbers
The chance of getting an egg is 69,3% (has a value of 70).
The old man in the Daycare will say: "The two seem to get along very well."
Same species, same ID numbers
The chance of getting an egg is 49,5% (has a value of 50).
The old man in the Daycare will say: "The two seem to get along."
Different species, different ID numbers
The chance of getting an egg is 49,5% (has a value of 50).
The old man in the Daycare will say: "The two seem to get along."
Different species, same ID numbers
The chance of getting an egg is 19,8% (has a value of 20).
The old man in the Daycare will say: "The two don't seem to like each other."
Different egg groups
The Pokémon are uncompatible and therefore will not make an egg.
The old man in the Daycare will say: "The two prefer to play with other POKéMON than each other."

If the Pokémon are in the Daycare and are compatible, every 256 (0xFF) steps the value mentioned above is compared to a random number generated by the game, if the value is higher than the random number then an egg is produced, if not the same process will be repeated after 256 steps. The higher the value, the better it is.

The random number is between 0 and 65.535 (0xFFFF). Multiplied by 100 and divided by 65.535 (and rounded down by the game as usually) produces a number between 0 and 100, creating a chance of an x in 101 chance of getting an egg.

When the egg is created, the game generates and stores a random number between 1 and 65.535. When you take the egg from the old man in the Daycare another random number (between 0 and 65.535 this time) is generated. Those two numbers combined are used to created the personality value of Pokémon that will hatch from the egg. The personality value determines its Individual Values, gender, nature, ability, shininess, its spots if it's a Spinda29 or its evolution if it's a Wurmple30.

Therefore, once the egg is obtained from the old man, the Pokémon that will hatch from it is determined forever. If you want to hatch a different Pokémon from an egg without having to make multiple eggs for some reason, SAVE the game before getting the egg from the old man.

As a secondary result from the above, it becomes obvious that no matter if a parent is shiny or not, it is completely random if an offspring is shiny or not.

How many steps are you taking before? You sometimes have to go quite far before the thing decides to give you an egg.
