Hi all
Just a notice, we recently discovered that someone got into a moderator account and started hard deleting a load of key and legacy threads...around 150 threads have been lost dating back to 2007 and some weeks ago so we can't roll the forums back.
Luckily no personal data could be accessed by this moderator, and we've altered the permissions so hard deleting isn't possible in the future
Sorry for any inconvenience with this and sorry for any lost posts. -

Thanks yougirasu, we'll try to get everything in the club taken care of, but if we need additional help we could use yours. I'm thinking give this thread another week, and then we'll start up the new one next weekend. Oh, and I added you on twitter, lucas666.

Can I join? I'm against cloning pokemon myself! Where's the fun in cloning when you can have more fun going to events and obtaining the legendaries in the wild? Legendary pokemon are awesome! And cloning seems pointless in my book.

It looks like you need to add or move around some tags in your signature if you want it to display the picture. If you copy and paste the following, it should work pretty well:
That uses the links you already have in your signature. Just remove the asterick * characters from the opening URL and IMG tags and that will look like this:
If that's not what you wanted, maybe send me a PM or VM and I can help you out.
As for the new club, I'll set up some rules and details on the new club and at least show them to Diggy this weekend, would anyone else like to see it before we go ahead with the new thread?
EDIT: Wow, you post fast... When I refreshed the page there it was XD
Code:
If you believe that pokemon deserve to be cared for please join our club

Hmm, slow times indeed. I'm currently busy working on getting my Saturday free as I refuse to miss the Heart Gold/Soul Silver TCG Prerelease and since I hate my job I'll do anything to avoid it on that day. I've got a Job interview today as well so if I hear from them I'll definatly just ditch work and go and have fun for the first time in nearly 8 weeks... I'm also working on a chart to help me with reffing in the ASB thing so I'll be around working on that if anyone needs to PM me or anything (I suspect that it's going to take me quite a long time with 467 attacks to cover...).
So, Arcanum, how's the plans for the new club coming along?

I haven't started working on the new thread, nor had any contact with kirkeastment or leebui - but I haven't been pursuing them very hard because I don't know a good way to contact them and stalking is creepy. I was about to bore you with how busy I am, but I'm sure everybody is in a similar situation (467 attacks in ASB? I hope that's not a backlog of attacks you have to ref for).
Because I can't contact L or K, I'll be putting up a list of prizes I can provide myself, including some of the less spectacular ones on the current list. After I start up the new thread, anyone who is interested in contributing something that isn't already on the list will be free to do so, and when I get a hold of Leebui or kirkeastment we can sort out the rest of it. My intent at the moment is to either do a manual search or write a script to search this thread to determine which members / points should carry over, and then every month I'll check who posted and update their points for them.

Guys, I totally forgot! A long time ago, I found out how to clone pokemon on my games, and tried it out. However, doing so caused several problems with the games, like my yellow version obtaining a virus that deleted my pokemon. It took a good friend of mine to help me get rid of the virus and even though we got rid of it, there was no way I could get my pokemon back. So, to this day, I am and always will be against cloning pokemon.

Well, I'd have to work hard at it but it may be possible for me to gather the pokemon Box eggs if you don't have anyone to get them for you and possibly the stat berries, except for the Leichi, as well as the PBR Poke's but I wouldn't be sure how to reset for them...But using wifi will, as usual, be hit or miss since it's not actually ours that I use.
I loled a little at you thinking that might be the amount I have to ref, it's not I'm on a mini break doing what I'm doing. That's every available attack in the games so far. I'm listing them and deciphering them in my own way so that I'll be able to understand things better when I'm reffing and have a better gauge on the energy uses and damage dealt within the battles. I decided to do this after a match where I made quite a few mistakes was cancelled and I thought to myself, maybe I should look over the attacks and sort it out so I can understand everything clearer. So that's what I'm doing clearing things up for me, it won't be easy as some attacks aren't covered clearly within the site descriptions and aren't used enough to be properly covered (I may be one of the few people who's used harden within a match, lol) but I've already listed the attacks, their types (although there may be a mistake or 2 in there) and the attack style (physical, special or otherwise). I'm now working on the damage/energy terms so I can have a rough guidline, number-wise, as to how much the LO's have decided that each attack should drain/inflict. Should keep me busy well into the weekend...

I never managed to get my hands on Ruby/Sapphire Box, so that's something I really can't do. I'll have to check how extensive my berry collection is; the PBR pokémon shouldn't be too terribly difficult, but if I have trouble getting those prizes out to somebody, I could list you as a secondary provider or something (can you tell I have no idea what I'm doing? XD).
That sounds like a really good thing to do for PASBL, and I hope after you're done it makes everything much easier.

Keep following this thread so you can join the new club when we post the link to it. I'd say cloning is pretty rampant, whether or not its popular I couldn't say. There's no sure fire way to tell, but when people are willing to trade something rare (legendary or shiny, especially events) there's a reasonably good chance they're trading it so willingly because they have many of them or obtained them easily, and cloning is amongst the simplest solutions. In my attempts to catch all the pokémon "legitimately" I've mostly traded with members of this club who I trust to trade un-cloned pokémon.
Also, is the 5th generation rush of new sppfers starting already? Or is this a heartgold/soulsilver wave?

*Slaps Head* I didn't realise that you could get Leichi Berries on PBR, I just thought and checked so in theory, I could grow the berries although I've never really tried on Pearl as the Mulch stuff confused me a little. So I prefer to stick to Ruby and get the others as imports from Colosseum/XD and just grow them there, but I might see about digging out my pearl and just giving it a go for berry growing. Although the one big problem with the berries on PBR is the cost of them, the original stat boosters were 15k in XD/Colo and they're 19.2K on PBR, plus the Leichi, Lansat, Starf and Enigma are all 38.4K each.
Plus, I'm not even sure about wiping the save off my Wii, I know it has a format memory section but I've never looked at it in depth. Does it wipe all the saves on the Wii or can you select specific games saves that you want to delete (like you could with a PS2 memory card for example) if it's the former then I'm much less likely to be willing to provide the stuff from that since I plan on getting Monster Hunter Tri as soon as it comes out over here and wiping a save from a game like that is something that you tear your hair out over. I find it hard deleting a save just to start a new game on the original that I have since it takes days for you just to get your character acceptable gear.

I'd like to know how to tell the difference myself. It helps to know which are clones and which are originals.

As far as I'm aware there's no way to tell if a pokemon's a clone or not. The safest way to do a fair trade and not get a cloned pokemon would be with a friend who you know wouldn't clone or with any of the members in this club who've sort of taken a vow not to clone (I say sort of because there's no official vow or anything like that, we just reject the option to clone).
I'd still like to know the method to get pokemon with perfect IV's via the RNG, but it looks like I'll have to google it. I'd love a perfect Gallade *drools over keyboard*

I was just curious on cloning (Not a member of the club, but would like to be,). I have never tried cloning but recently I have thought about it to get masterballs (In case a random shiny that is dangerous, Geodude with Selfdesturct or a Medicham in Snowpoint City) or get the Lati's and Legendary dogs in every version I have (I wouldn't need it but it would be nice). I checked and it would take about 32 times of restarting a Fire Red or Leaf Green to get all 3 on every version (R,S,E,D,P,Pt,Lg,Fr). And 16 for the Lati's. If I were to ever do that, which I seriously doubt too much risk, and I only did it for that and for non-trading purposes would it still be 'against' the club's objections to cloning? I don't want to be a firebrand. I'm just curious.
