Well it depends on WHICH clone you look at.
For example, look at Mewtwo. He was bent on world domination since he broke out of Giovanni's lab. Now look at ditto. We've all heard this theroy, failed attempt at cloning mew. They don't care what happens. They are just as, lets say ignorant, to the outside world as much as other pokemon. It all depends on perspective. |

I have to specify my opinion.
I think of 2 different things when I think of clones. An actual clone and a replication. A clone I believe to be legal. A clone is using a glitch (PC Glitch of GSC, Global Trading Station glitch of D/P) or a clone using a cheat device just takes your Pokémon and makes an exact duplicate. It's like "Well, what if I make a mistake while training, or want to train something 2 different ways, but I only have one of it!" Competitive Breeding or whatever you call it is supposed to be like randomized cloning, since you can't really control ALL the IVs. But through cloning, you can keep the original, and have a copy for testing, usage, or whatever. Replicating is different. Replicating is the use of a Pokémon Hack program (Pokésav, Pokégen) to make a Pokémon and use a custom GTS server to upload and download your PKMN files. You can copy down stats, IVs, moves, ID numbers, hidden values, and WHATEVER you want to a T, I still wouldn't consider it legal. It's not organic, like finding something in the wild, or getting it as a gift and making a copy. It's going to the factory to make a fake and pass it off as real. |

As with PRS, I consider clones legitimate. Programmatically, all the Action Replay does when you enable a clone code is disable the "deletion" command when you pick up a Pokémon. Normally, it is copied to the temporary "hand" location and deleted from the old location. However, when you use a code, it tells the game to skip the deletion command, thereby leaving a copy in the original location as well as in the hand.

I think of it as a bit of something that should be familiar to anyone acquainted with computers. Think of it as copying a file, to the game: essentially identical information. If the oriunal is legal, same thing goes for the copies. Even then, though, I only clone when I am trading things.

Strictly speaking, they are legit.
Cloning is a glitch in the games, thus you are utilising an inner glitch, not using an external device (Action Replay) to crack codes. This is proven if you use a cloned team and battle with it in the WiFi Club and save a battle video. The video will be saved normally and the system will not detect any error. Any migrated Pokémon from Emerald you find across the GTS is most probably cloned. When we played Emerald, cloning was the coolest thing to do. |

When you glitch the game by not saving the game completely, it usually means that the game got to save in a way that it's a partial save, which usually results in a corrupt file, but due to the timing, makes it valid. This does run the risk of corrupting the current save file, though this can be rather easily mitigated by saving once without cloning first, thanks to backup saves on Gen III and newer. |
