I thought this would be Helpful.
 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQFT1FpQdsc It helped me, it works! *NOTE* im not sure if it works for crystal or not.

Very interesting, and very nicely calculated as well. All appears to make sense and nothing seems to have been damaged during the process so I may well give this a go at some stage to try it out for myself.

lolwut March 19th, 2009 3:48 PM

It works flawless. I now have a level 9 totodile, a level 5 chikorita, and a level 5 cyndaquil and technically i havent ran into one battle yet. Man this games gonna be easy now haha, all i need is maybe an ampharos and a heracross and maybe a slowbro

Bibliophibian March 19th, 2009 3:52 PM

Nifty. I knew about the cloning trick in G/S, but I never thought about trying to use it to get all the starters. I'll have to try it out for myself. :3

lolwut March 19th, 2009 3:58 PM

Just follow the video, it puts it into very simple terms. I did it a bit faster then the video so it took me about 5 mins and after about an hour of grinding before the first gym i have a level 15 quilava, a level 15 chikorita, and a level 13 totodile

Royal March 19th, 2009 4:37 PM

This video works, and there's also a cloning cheat...

lolwut March 19th, 2009 4:38 PM

Not trying to be rude but: I think we all know that haha

Royal March 19th, 2009 4:48 PM

Do you know the cloning cheat?

lolwut March 19th, 2009 4:53 PM

Yeah. You get the pokemon, deposit it, switch boxes and save, then withdraw it, switch boxes then when its saving you turn it off and voila you have duplicated your pokemon

Update: The only downside to the glitch is that the pokemon; totodile and chikorita (and their evolutions) aren't included in your pokedex. But the one you do originally pick does.

FastTonyDeNiro March 19th, 2009 10:19 PM

Awesome I knew there was a way to do this but I had only read explanations on it and they were kind of confusing. A video should be real helpful.

Arukas March 19th, 2009 10:22 PM

Pretty cool trick, thanks for the share :D

Haz March 19th, 2009 10:32 PM

I did this in my old gold game. I think it does work in Crystal cause my friend has it and said it did (I told him bout the cheat).

Limey-chan March 20th, 2009 6:31 AM

I just did this trick, worked a treat.

Something bizarre i've noticed though is that even though I can use Chikorita and Totodile okay, they aren't registered as 'owned' in my Pokédex.

Now you see them...

http://i40.tinypic.com/xkx2ys.jpg
Now you don't!

Bit gutted that they don't show up in your Pokédex but meh, at least i've obtained all 3 starters without hacking/trading etc :D

lolwut March 20th, 2009 7:30 AM

Yeah i mentioned that a couple of posts up. It's weird. But its not like when you evolve your guys they turn into something weird or anything. I have all of mine at their second stage now. Bayleef level 20, Quilava level 21, and croconaw level 19.

Limey-chan March 20th, 2009 7:59 AM

Do their evolved forms register in your Pokédex as caught/seen?

I've still got them all in their unevolved forms, training them all the way up to learn kick ass moves then letting them evolve. Makes the later stages of the game a hell of a lot easier. They're all about Lv 20 now.

lolwut March 20th, 2009 8:01 AM

Nope. Their evolved forms don't show up either. It doesnt even show that ive seen a chikorita, thats the funny thing

INTERPOL March 20th, 2009 12:52 PM

Actually their evolved forms do show up. I did this a couple months ago and I now have all three at their final evolution. the only pokemon that don't show up are the first evolution of the first two you cloned(ex. if you chose cyndaquil then totodile then chikorita, then only chikorita's 'dex entry will be there but after you evolve them the evolved forms will be there.) In order to get the first evolution in the pokedex you must breed.

lolwut March 20th, 2009 7:42 PM

oh my bad, you're right. Their evolved forms do show up.

aaronburnsyou March 20th, 2009 8:13 PM

Oh, I remember this glitch all too well. I've actually experienced with it probably too much for my own good, even to the point of fighting my rival the first time with a Crobat, and fighting Morty with an Umbreon that could use Shadow Ball.

I think the reason the pokemon doesn't show up in the pokedex is that since you turn the game off without saving, the game doesn't know that you even obtained the pokemon. I still don't know how the pokemon ends up in the PC though, but that must be the data registered first whenever you save the game.

(Also, if you take someone out of the PC that was there before, it will disappear, I think)

Quick question, does this work for R/B/Y?
I guess I could try but I'm to lazy.

Heather March 21st, 2009 4:38 AM

this vid is awesome! thanks it really helped. :)

Hmm.... I think it might actually.

Kayin March 21st, 2009 9:30 AM

I never knew about this. Thanks for sharing. Crystal was one of my favorite pokemon games.

I don't see why it wouldn't. It would just take a little longer considering you can't make the pokemon hold the pokeballs.

I think i'll go try it out real fast and let ya know.

IIMarckus March 21st, 2009 10:19 AM

This does not work in RBY because it is a variant of the GSC cloning trick, which does not work in RBY.

The monsters do not appear in your Pokédex because of the way the game adds to the dex. They will appear if you obtain a Ditto later in the game and breed them. Their evolutions will appear in the Pokédex when they evolve, as well.
