4th Gen Risks of Cloning

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

Can u point me in that direction???? I gave up on cloning with GTS because its not even worth the time it takes.
 
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
 
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...
 
I never knew that Nintendo could kick you out of WiFi, can they bann you from anything else besides the GTS?
 
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'm just wondering all the risks of cloning with GTS. Is there a chance I'll lose my game?

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?
