RE: Pokemon Emerald Cloning Glitch
Okay, I've known about this for a while, but only just read this here.
You do realise that this glitch can be very useful for baleeting irritating pokemon? Here's what I do:
1- I get the six (not five) Pokemon that I want to clone, making sure that there are at least two that are different (5 Spinda 1 Pichu)
2- I give them the items I want cloned, again making sure that there are at least two different (One Master Ball for each Spinda, and Exp Share for Pichu)
3- I get a crap pokemon that I don't really want (Pre-cloned Zigzagoon (Probably worth noting that this is me cloning for items, not Pokemon))
4- I deposit the six Pokemon I want to clone in a box, preferably side-by-side in a row. Now, the only Pokemon in my party is that crappy Zigzagoon.
5- I save the game.
6- Now I get out the six Pokemon that are destined for the cloning machine and deposit the Zigzagoon. Doesn't matter where.
7- Chat to the lady on the far right for a link multi-battle whatever challange. Select 'Open Level' and enter two different Pokemon holding different items (Spinda with Master Ball and Pichu with Exp Share)
8- Saving, don't turn off the power... Go on, blatently disregard a direct warning and turn off your console/soft reset et.
9- Now you will get a message reading 'Your save file file was corrupted. The previous save file will be loaded' That means you've succeeded. Even though your save file was apparantly corrupted, you will still be in front of the lady whose instructions you completely ignored.
10- Check your party. You should have all six of the Pokemon, with all the items you gave them.
11- Check your computer. You should notice two things: First, you have another copy of the desired Pokemon in your box. Second, you'll notice that that pathetic waste of space that was called a Zigzagoon is gone, permabanned from your game. Well done!!
It's also probably worth noting that this is near-impossible to stuff up, so if you do manage to screw up your save file, there's no-one to blame but yourself. Go hang your head in shame
