Ok thanks,yeah didn't want to trade a legendary for a clone. Is the shiny zubat thrown into the jirachi deal? if so that'd be cool. is the jirachi a clone? (not a problem i just like originals better) Oh by the way is The one in the box is the original and the party one is the clone? huh, thought it was the other way around
LOL, wait, didn’t I see on your thread a while back that you were going to clone the Egg with an Action Replay save feature anyway?
Yes, you are giving me several nice Pokémon and you had mentioned bad luck with shinies so I thought you might like a Zubat? Jirachi is cloned yes, but I suppose I could reset
Ruby or
Sapphire and download a new one for you.
Well, the way I see it, the one in the Box is the original because it existed first. When you save, the contents of the Boxes are recorded in the save file. Then when you talk to the Battle Tower attendant, she tacks your current party onto your save file over whatever party you had when you saved, but doesn’t change the save file’s Box data. Think of it as if it were an Egg: the Egg in the Box would have been walked with for fewer steps. Although, ontologically, I would say it’s less like cloning or copying and more like what happened to Crichton on Farscape, except for that difference of a few steps. But, hey, it’s essentially your Celebi now, so I will respect your opinions and wishes on the matter.

I'll trade you a Shiny Trapinch, Shiny Vibrava, and Shiny Flygon if you've got Cyndaquil and Totodile.
I don’t right now, but I can easily breed them. You could even have the eggs pre-hatching if you want. May I ask about the origins of the shinies? Are they cheated or caught real? I assume they are the same Pokémon, cloned and evolved?
