List of cloning glitches: Difference between revisions

'''Cloning glitches''' are [[glitch]]es in the [[Pokémon games]] that enables a {{player}} to make an exact copy or "clone" of a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. While a cloning glitch has been present in at least one game of each [[generation]] so far (except [[Generation V]]), the methods to achieve it vary from game to game. Most of these methods involve exploiting the relatively long save times of the Pokémon games to interrupt the [[Save|saving]] process when only a portion of data have been saved successfully. Like most glitches, there are negative side effects, such as the potential loss of the Pokémon to be cloned or even corruption of the saved data.
