Does that mean they were hacked, and the verification code missed it because everything else about them was legal?
Anyhow, the idea of verifying a pokemon's legality based on what route it was caught in seems a bit odd as a deterrent to save hacking, as what route it's supposed to be in is public knowledge, and thus wouldn't seem to be an obstacle to coming up with a convincing counterfeit.
Nothing wrong with those hatchlings as long as everything else is legal about the pokemon and the pokeball is one they can actually be captured in. Pokeball inheritance is a thing in pokemon breeding starting in generation 6 of the main series (so long as the pokeball isn't one of the two uninheritable types: the Master Ball and the Cherish Ball). I'm talking more about nonsense like the shiny Incineroar in a Premier Ball I received over WT in Sun and Moon (Incineroar, at this point in time, can only ever be in a normal pokeball), or the Beast Ball Porygon2 that showed up at an official competition early in Sun and Moons' lifespan (Regardless of game origin, Porygon and its evolutions can't be in a Beast Ball since there's no wild Porygon in Alola)
Location is something that needs to be checked anyways so hackers can't be lazy if they do hack pokemon in. If you're too lax with your protections, that's just asking for trouble. And yes, location doesn't affect anything, really, but an illegitimate location captured serves as proof that the pokemon was hacked in somehow. It's an easy thing to check, too, so neither the devs nor potential hackers have any excuse to not check it to make sure it's correct.
