Hello Everynyan! Welcome to the forty-eighth instalment in the Video Games Forum's new weekly series of polls!

Centered around the Pokemon series of video games, these polls will be based on the various different aspects of the popular video game franchise. Every Monday, a Video Games staff member will post a new poll that'll remained stickied up on top of the forum. Suggestions for polls and questions can be sent to Joshawott or Zeb and they could possibly used for new polls (credit will be given, of course).

With that out of the way, here is the poll:

If I've planned a Pokemon on my team to have an egg move, then yes, I do. For example, last time I played Platinum I bred Mean Look onto a Ralts to get a Mean Look Gallade for those runners, and on Black 2, I'll be getting a Yawn Umbreon to play the role of sleeper.
 
Depends on the pokemon. But usually no,to think of it now it really would be useful!★
 
Not really, Mainly because I don't play competitively, and just catch and go. I may have done it once or twice though.
 
I've only bred for moves once to see what it was like; it was getting Aromatherapy for a Blissey. After that, I decided breeding for moves was too much of a hassle.
 
Not anymore since I got my hands on Action Replay... I don't breed egg moves, sometimes it makes me mess up IV breeding. :| Weird, I know.
 
It really depends how good the egg move is. If it's really useful like, let's say Recover for Sableye, then I'll breed for it.
 
Nope, I don't. I'm much to lazy to bother doing it. I've only ever done it once, and that was to give Aipom Fake Out. I only did this one, because Ambipom is my favorite Pokemon.
 
It depends on how long it would take and how useful I think the move might be for that Pokemon. I know, sometimes it's "recommended" for a particular build, but really? If a Pokemon can know both Volt Switch and Baton Pass, I'll probably skip the breeding and teach it the other move with a TM. Still, if the move is really useful, then I would go through the hassle and teach it to a Pokemon...hopefully I'd have an everstone and can get the nature I want from the mother though...xD
 
Very rarely do I breed egg moves for the main play-through, unless I think the move in question might be fun to toy around with (like my Me First Zebstrika).
 
Really, I'm only one of four that add on some moves all the time when breeding? I think your poll is broken, or at least I hope it is.
 
Nope. Takes too long and is not always worth it.

Different story for nature breeding, though.
