Another cloning method present in the early Pokémon games involved the exploit of the [[Pokémon Storage System]] and the fact that the game needed to save every time a Box was changed. During the saving that takes place when switching the Box, first the Pokémon data on all the PC Boxes is saved, and then the Pokémon data on the player's [[party]]. In Pokémon Gold and Silver if some Pokémon are deposited in the PC before switching the Box, interrupting the saving process (turning the power off or reseting using the Virtual Console menu) at the right moment (ideally, after the "Yes/No" box disappears and before the "A" in "Saving" appears in the dialog Box, but after the Box has appeared) causes said Pokémon to be present both in the Box and the player's party. This method, unlike the trade method, allows the player to clone up to five Pokémon at the same time, as well as in Generation II, clone items by making the cloned Pokémon hold items before cloning it. In Pokémon Crystal instead the player must interrupt the saving shortly after the period in "Power" appears out in the dialog box, but before saving sound effect plays. | Another cloning method present in the early Pokémon games involved the exploit of the [[Pokémon Storage System]] and the fact that the game needed to save every time a Box was changed.

It is possible to get a bad clone if the Box used for cloning is not filled at any time, as this will prevent bad clones from being created. Getting a bad clone is a case of luck and sometimes occurs during the act of cloning. The chance of getting a bad clone is at maximum if the Box has 15 to 18 Pokémon. Another way to increase the player's chances is by turning the game off after they select YES, before any of the “SAVING... DON'T TURN OFF THE POWER.” text appears. A bad clone has a name that is blank or made of only question marks, such as [[Five question marks|?????]]. Its level will be 0 | It is possible to get a bad clone if the Box used for cloning is not filled at any time, as this will prevent bad clones from being created.

Using an {{pkmn|Egg}} for a bad clone results in another egg that hatches into ?????. | ||
