The cloned Pokemon won't affect your save at all, but if you don't want to trade them you can catch a few new pokemon and have those hold whatever TM's you want to trade over. I'm the kind of person that likes to avoid those glitches just because they kind of ruin the experience for me, so I totally understand your hesitation. Your game is totally safe to trade over cloned pokemon, though. It treats them the exact same as any other normal pokemon. I would also recommend buying a cart dumper like the GBXCart to backup the save, as well as your main cartridge save. I backup the save files on the carts that I buy just as a way to keep their old files alive in some way. I know it's a bit silly, but I have a hard time deleting someone else's file.

I appreciate the feedback! I am comfortable taking 1 of each pokemon and some tms. That is really all. Anything that could be acquired in the game once I think is acceptable. I do have a cart dumper! Got save files on my pc with backups! I should do that with this file actually. That is a good idea.

I know how you feel, I just reset someone else’s file of Leaf-green, and they had all there pokemon nicknamed and I did one last sweep through the team and boxes before I reset them, as a final hoorah for all the lost mons. I will never forget the Marowak named “Boner”

If you sell a game, it’s kind of assumed you need to take everything off the cartridge that you want to keep. Because it’s not going to be in your possession anymore. It’s like buying someones old couch or mattress and finding a wad of cash inside. Finders keepers, son.

Gonna watch this later while im playing my new save on soulsilver :) have planned a 100% run

I’ve loved your videos and watched them several times each! I completed my leaf green living dex and needed a reason to come back to the games which now I’m working on a perfect iv team because of you! If I bought that game I would trade over what ever I wanted no question about it. I’ve been breeding Bagon and haven’t gotten the Ivs I wanted but do have 2 outstanding Bagon with 3 flawless ivs. I was curious how you would ev train one with attack, special attack and speed? Would you go fully into two stats or do even evs?

@nostalgicnighthawk

Ай бұрын

woow you watch them multiple times! Makes me feel good knowing that. A living dex takes a while to complete! Good job. Hope you train some beast pokemons. Outstanding pokes with 3 perfect ivs is really GOOD. I would only pick 1 stat to max for attack. And both special attack and attacking salamences are great. Those stats are both high! In deciding which to train, I would look at your overall team. A special attacking salamence can cover a lot more weaknesses with the moves it can learn. But its attack stat is higher than special.

Pretty sure a cloned pokemon is treated no different than the original, it is a clone after all. It still registers as a regular pokemon if you trade it to newer generations. Although I'm not sure they can still be moved to Scarlett and Violet

its almost impossible to get a fully legit event pokemon tho. I will attempt to give myself the gift soon however its still not 100% legit in a sense.

We've all known about emerald cloning for almost 20 years. it's really up to you what's justifiable or moral. i personally exploit the hell out of this. once i was able to get every TM and rare item why should I have to work hard to do it again? i have multiple lucky eggs (from XD lucky egg quest), leftovers, master balls etc. but that's just me and how i like to play.

I’m pretty sure it’s safe, and the amount of time you seem to put into trading stuff over justifies whatever items you can get, in my eyes. If my friend was deleting a save, I would definitely ask for their items.

I think the owner quickly lost interest after abusing the cloning glitch. I would take the TM's and every item you want but only one of each, like it was pretend to be in that one cartridge. Look for berrys as well 😉

Hey mate! Don’t see why it wouldn’t be OK sending Pokémon from that save file to your game. Pokémon has always been about trading, and despite these Pokémon/items being cloned, you’re only taking one of each, so you’re not taking advantage of cloning.

Honestly due to it being a glitch within the game I would say morally it’s acceptable. I would argue and say it’s a feature of the base game! 🤝

You bought it, you own it now. I don't see any ethical problem here. I'd trade all the items over and check the day care, but otherwise not bother with the pokémon unless they are shiny. With the number of copies you have, you can get as many rayquazas as you want anyway. - oh, and why not document your next walkthrough of Emerald? Could be fun
