Cloning...?

Pyro Yoshi

Objection!
I suppose you could call this cloning? Anyone with a flash cart, access to two D/P games and 2 DSs (if you don't, you can still give your thoughts)... I have two questions.

Let's say you...

1. Catch a rare/legendary (in my case Darkrai).
2. Back-up the save file to the computer before making the trade.
3. Trade Darkrai to the other game.
4. Reload the save file from the computer.

Would this back-up still have Darkrai when the game is loaded? If so...
Can this second Darkrai be traded to the second game again?
 
I guess it would work.

Though it's not much better then loading your save file onto your computer and altering it, IMO (In terms of how greatly it would be considered cheating).

I need an in-game one. But cool.
 
Thanks everyone.

Of course. It's purely hypothetical. Anyway, I don't have access to 2 DSs or D/P games :(
 
how do u back up ur file to ur comp??
 
You need a flash cart, to begin with (And it's technically illegal to be downloading games onto them, but nobody seems to get in trouble for it), and just some kind of attachment to load the save file into your computer.
 
I wouldn't call using a flash cart in an illegal fashion to do things not possible with an actual game cartridge "not cheating".
 
True...

This should still be possible without the aid of a Flash Cart; this Flash Cart method is the theoretical "lazy way".
 
I see. Oh well, I don't want to clone pokemon.
The way without the Flash Card wouldn't really be cloning (as it involves trading the rare and then restarting <_<) but it's up to you.

Just to clear a few things... my flash cart's main purpose is to play music and videos. The reason it has the Pokemon Pearl... game is to use the Darkrai glitch without accidentally stuffing up my original cartridge. Also, this cloning is strictly for creating a party of multiple Darkrai and laughing at my friends' reactions.
 
I hope there is a glitch, because this kind of cloning IS consitered cheating.
