Cloning doesn't work for me...

[TellMeBoutIt716]

I put my level 100 Zapdos with a masterball up for trade against a level 100 Zapdos and turned the game off at the 8th tick of the clock but no error message came up when I turned it on and now I have a Japanese level 100 Zapdos and no master ball and the moves suck and I have nomore heart scales! This sucks

someone traded with you and took ur pkmn

Yeah, that's a risk you take when you try to clone something. You should've requested a level 10 or below Zapdos, so then the only people who can trade you while you're cloning are hackers.

...Don't ever ask for level 100 Zapdos. That's your first problem. ;D Next, since the error message never came up, you must be turning off the DS too late. You have about a one second gap to turn off the DS and it'll clone correctly. I suggest turning off every computer, Wii, DS, whatever to make sure it's not using the internet to make it stable. Then try turning it off at about 7, 8, or 9 spins. If you do too early, your pokemon never goes through. At the right time, it'll go through but it'll back up your save file and show the error message. It depends on your internet... It might work at 17 seconds (real time clock, not DS thing) since that's what it does for me but I have a high speed connection. But if you just have a wireless router, turn off when it blinks. Not many people have one so just stick with guessing and luck.
I think they're already threads like these but oh wellz. -.-
