OMFG i dont care what anyone says that clone stuff is like pokemon death XD but its cool for me i wont be trading or battling cept for ppl i know or trust enuf to actualy add to my d/p friend list . but i will admit its rather tempting to clone for so many reasons XD *battles with morals over cloned wurmples for master ball supply * >.> i hate cheaters !!!!! but dangit this is so good yet so bad BLEGH anyonoe want to offer their thoughts on it ?( i know its a bit off topic but it does directly effect shiniy catching and cloning and trading )
like do u now accept shinies gotten in a trade? when it could have just as easily been a cloned shiny !!! or how about ppl with say a shiny dratini , dragonair and dragonite becuz they cloned their shiny dratiny in the first place , do u accept all 3 or would only accept the oringinal shiny. i dont know ......one of the reasons im proud of the shinnies i do have is becuz i went thru hell to get them even the traded ones . like hours after searching to just want to quit and have the pokegods answer your prayers with a shiny . it feels good but now idk if i can believe ppl or share in their glory when they get shinnies ..... bad enuf ppl gs and ar and swear they dont , and there isnt no way for us to really tell.... blegh .........(i do want more master balls XD but .... blegh i hate cheaters and cheating)
yes its a glitch ppl , but that doesnt mean its "fair".......
On cloning it's copying the data exactly including hidden information right, but what's the chances for two shinys to actually be like that? If you clone a Pokemon that's low level and raise them with different move sets and EV's is it any different than catching 2 of the same Pokemon? Also because you're not using a cheat device, XD can't catch it as 'fake'... scary thought, yeah? ALSO after you clone how do you know which one of the Pokemon is the clone, the one in your party or the one in the box? Anybody know?
As for me, would I use it? Depends on the siduation. If a friend wanted clones of my shinys and was willing to give me clones of their shinys in trade, sure why not, trades don't count for this dex anyway and I have all of ONE person I trade with anyway and she has no shinys, so I get nothing, she on the other hand don't mind cheats (I GameSharked her a Deoxes when she requested it.) and as soon as she finds out it's possable she is bound to ask me to clone them for her. Besides I already have 1 of everything but Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, and Deoxes (The GameSharked Deoxes on my restarted FR don't count.), why clone them? Plus I use my Emerald as my 'DEX' and it has all my trained Pokemon on it, I don't have the required empty box to perform this glitch even if I wanted to. (moving them over to Sapphire is a hassle.)
Q: Would I ever use a cloned Pokemon to trick somebody into trading me a hard earned shiny?
A: NO.
Q: Would I use a cloned Pokemon in D/P's wi-fi?
A: NO.
Q: Would I trade for a cloned Shiny Absol?
A: YES as long as the person was truthful upfront that it was a clone. And if I ever was able to get a non-cloned shiny Absol I'd release the clone or give it to my friend.
Q: Would I clone my shiny Pokemon?
A: No to a point, I hate having doubbles of my Pokemon shinys and normal. Yes to a point, I'd like to clone my Bellsprout and Lairon just to evlove them.
Q: Will I try this glitch?
A: Tempting... I may try it to see if it works. Anything that comes from it though wouldn't meen nearly as much to me. I already have so many shinys that it's not as exciting when I find a legit one, making a cloned one would be
depressing, that and I'd go on a guilt trip as long as Route 66.
Q: Do cloned shinys count on a shiny Dex?
A: NO, for goddess sake NO! The first Pokemon counts (as long as it isn't a clone from somebody else) and after that PLEASE keep them to yourself, feel free to clone yourself as many as you want, just don't tell us about it.
In other news:
LDD's shiny update: Nothing new to report. *sigh* I did spend alot of time yesterday hunting, road trip, and got my Shiny Bellsprout from lvl 82 to lvl 100, and restarted raising my non-shiny Vulpix lvl 60 to lvl 76... I think.
