[Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl] Cloning + skipping trainer battle glitches

[Escther]

I recently saw this video made by one of my favorite Poketubers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeajESvSTaY

Basically there's a glitch discovered by The4thGenGamer that allows you to clone any Pokemon you want (even mass clone Pokemon if you wanted) and skip any trainer battle you want, including Cynthia. I wonder what this'll mean for speedruns lol. It's a pretty insane glitch, and I thought the EV training glitch in Sw/Sh was pretty out there. Do you think you'll use it to clone your favorite mythicals at some point?

The game has had a lot of glitches, it's really strange. Not sure if it signifies a poorly tested/rushed game or just some very unfortunate luck, but being able to so freely clone things like legendaries is crazy haha. I probably won't use it honestly.. feels wrong for me to. If I do I'd probably give the clones away for free, would feel a little strange trading those away unless the person is absolutely fine with it.

i wonder if this is something future patches would rectify?

I ain't interested in glitches like this.
Hopefully they'll patch it soon.

The game has felt a bit rough around the edges so far to me in general.
Still enjoying it though ^.^

I hope they keep these glitches in personally, they're never something you will see in an actual playthrough and it just seems like something that the speedrun community is having a lot of fun with and it's not something that really affects others, here's hoping ILCA turns the other cheek.
