Risks of Cloning

[*MiSs_MaGiUs*]

I'm just wondering all the risks of cloning with GTS. Is there a chance I'll lose my game?

[ShadowTails]

There is a chance you'll lose the Pokemon you're trying to clone... and a lot of people frown on cloned Pokemon. It's your choice if you'd like to risk losing your Pokemon or not.

[*MiSs_MaGiUs*]

I'm doing it to get rare candies I was just wondering if it was worth it but if you only lose the pokemon then I could just use a crappy one right?

[Punishment]

Just use a Bidoof if you are going to clone items. ^_^

The new Pokemon games are backed twice so you dont need to worry about losing your data as you have a backup save file.

[wakachamo]

Don't worry about losing your game, though - Diamond/Pearl uses a backup system where it always keeps a 2nd copy of your save file, so you'll never ose it.

[*MiSs_MaGiUs*]

ok cool...thanks!!! I would die if I lost my game, as I'm sure we all would, so I just wanted to make sure. I won't be to broken up if I lose my bidoof :)

[Aciel]

the only true risk is ahacker that might have a arseus if u offer something for it

[alex-zeal]

I heard that some people get banned from GTS for cloning

[Goldenhammerhead]

no the server is just too busy and it appears as if they have.

[Eon-Rider]

I'm not sure if this is completely true or not but it also makes your wireless router non-Wifi compatible. After failing at cloning, my wireless router has been slower than usual...

[alex-zeal]

It happend to me :\
but then a week later it let me back on :)

[Goldenhammerhead]

no you guys are just supersticious or in a coincidence.(i hope since i have attempted,failed and succeeded at cloning before)

[alex-zeal]

well, scine then, i have done three clones without problem :) so i dont know what happend

[Goldenhammerhead]

see what i mean.there are 10 million people that use that server. coincedence.

[artyinthebank]

I got banned for like 2 hours tops.

[ultima2096]

you dont get banned from wifi, and nintendo certainly dont have the power to alter your computers hardware to stop your router doing anything.
EDIT:...K aparently some banning is taknig affect but its eractic. thought i better edit, before i get a millon YOUR WRONGS! :embarrass

[Lord Mike]

They don't have mods on there, do they? I mean, you rightfully paid for the game, so you should be able to have access to every feature without the risk of being banned.

Only when ya use the features right and not for personal gain hehe

[ShadowTails]

I don't see any reason to clone... for me personally, if I want more than one Shiny I am quite capable of going into a grassy patch and chaining Pokemon... Though I wish I had some level 90 something Linoones for Pickup XD... Maybe I'll work on that...

[Michiru552]

ppl can be too lazy to chain tho ya get the "It takes too long" line most of time

[ShadowTails]

Well, if you know what you're doing it really is a good way to pass the time XD.

[Michiru552]

ppl are lazy tho.
I'm newish to game and I managed to chain a shiny today. Which I then traded for a event Pokemon ^^

I was at the but between Heath and Veil and I managed to chain the evolved version the bird thing and got a shiny ^^

if you just want to clone items there are other threads of ways to do it

[*MiSs_MaGiUs*]

Can u point me in that direction???? I gave up on cloning with GTS because its not even worth the time it takes.

[baseballdude]

I know a glitch for cloning items in D/P:

Get a Ditto and a Pokémon that knows Thief, Covet, etc. Attach the item you want to clone to Ditto. Then go to route 209 (I'm not sure) and use the VS Seeker to fight a couple. THey'll have a Meditate and a Machop. Get the Meditate out of the way, then use Ditto's Transform to turn into Machop. Use Thief or Covet in your Ditto. Then just kill the Machop. After battling, both your Ditto and your other Pokémon should have the item attached!

I think this happens because when you use Thief or Covet in a trainer's Pokémon, he/she will get the item back when you have another battle. But this won't happen with your own Pokémon, that's why you need to have Ditto. I think it copies some data of your foe that makes the game think it is your foe, so it returns the item to Ditto.



i copied this i will not take credit from whoever it was who found it

[*MiSs_MaGiUs*]

Thanks a lot !!!!!!! I'll try it out

[ShadowTails]

That glitch only works in the Japanese version last I heard, you're stuck with the GTS or you can go on Wifi with someone and manage to clone a Pokemon, one of my friends lost his Gengar because I lost the signal and he and I both had an Alakazam in the end...

[artyinthebank]

Wait, how exactly do you get shiny pokemon?

[*MiSs_MaGiUs*]

Just search for a thread explaining how.

[Near]

I never knew that Nintendo could kick you out of WiFi, can they bann you from anything else besides the GTS?

[Random]

No they cant ban you from anything else. The only reasons i know why they ban you from GTS, is either from cloning, or if their server is down, and you cant log in for a while.

I don't want to scare anyone, but my Pokemon game got completely earsed when i tried the GTS clone trick. I got a blue screen of death from a DS game!! Lol.

It's just lucky it was my unimportant Japanese save file :D

Funny, i had a friend, who owned a Japaneses pearl, which i dont know how, but it got the "blue screen of death" also, he didn't why or how. Maybe he did the same thing, but this happened before the english version came out.

Yup same here, it just said my data was corrupted on the back of a Blue Sreen, maybe it was Nintendo's evil way of killing cloners. lol

But yeah sucks poo really!!

I dont think the Nintendo could of predicted cloning would happen in GTS, maybe theres something glitchy with the japanese games(considering theyre more glitchly then english versions), if you do cloning on them, they probably mess up your game.

Also are you able to start a new game after that happening, cause my friend couldn't start a new game save when he got that screen?
