In some ways, yes. Although there have been cases of breeders ending up with a surprise batch of eggs, and having to scramble to find them homes. Not to mention finding Pokémon with matching egg types to breed in the first place, and learning which moves can be passed on...

Then again, I can also see how people would prefer one over the other. I'm definitely grateful to have the job of a breeder simply because I don't find much enjoyment in battling.
