Unlike animal eggs, pokemon eggs require a stimulating environment in order to hatch. Whether this involves an attentive parent or a robust environment, some catalyst is needed to initiate hatching. If these needs aren't met, an egg can sit for years or even decades in a dormant state until the right stimulation comes along. Parents who struggle with getting their eggs to hatch may take them to a Mystery Dungeon, which are one of the quickest ways to hatch an egg.
