Ripple in Time 3/8: Hatch 9 eggs
Simple question. Similar to most of us, I am currently on 2/8 of the Celebi quest. Looking forward, I saw that 3/8 will require hatching 9 eggs. My question is simply:
If I start incubating eggs before I have completed 2/8, will those 9 eggs count tomorrow when they hatch?

Normally it depends on when they were Hatched, not when they were first Incubated. So if you incubate them now - when you're doing 2/8 - and they hatch BEFORE you have finished 2/8, they will not count toward the 9 Eggs hatched.
About the only thing you can do "early" in these quests is gaining the required Medals or Levels, like "Reach Level 25" in 3/8 and 7/8 "Earn a Gold Johto Medal". Everything else has to be earned at the correct time.
Which is a bit annoying, as I've pre-walked 4 Eevee's and I'll need to walk 2 more during this quest (or the same one's over, no significant difference there) but hey. It's not like having to evolve a Magikarp!
You won't have to walk two more. (Edit: seems like you will, because the walk an Eevee task comes up twice.) You can evolve both the Espeon and Umbreon from pre-walked ones, just rebuddy them to evolve during the right time of day, and then walk another one (Edit: two) to meet those quest requirement(s).
Frankly, I'm hoping to trade for a lucky Eevee in the next few days so I can power the resulting Espeon up cheaply and replace my current top one which has so-so IVs. (Edit: still hoping to do that.)
