In Pokemon games, do/would you accept cloned Pokemon?

Inspired by a thread on the Pokemon Black board on GFAQs.

I definitely would. As long as the Pokemon's stats and everything is perfectly legit, and the only thing illegitimate about it is that it's cloned, I honestly don't care. Some people consider it cheating, and it technically is, but since it has no adverse affects (giving you an unfair advantage in battle or something), I don't see why it matters. Some Pokemon are also impossible to get if you miss out on an event and somehow can't get one through a legit trade, so cloning is good for that as well.

If it would save me the effort of IV/Nature breeding, hell yeah I would. I'd prefer it to be untrained though - that's the fun bit! =D

I hate how people hate Pokesav now. I have real life responsibilities and no time for IV breeding, EV training, etc for a whole new generation. and I feel that just because I don't do these things I'll lose every Pokemon match ever. I don't think I'll enjoy casual battles now.

lol that gamefaqs topic

Anyways as long as the poke isn't illegal (Impossible abilities/movesets, more than 510 EVs, etc), I would.

also sveta pokegen > pokesav

It's not like anyone can tell the difference anyway.

If you're using the GTS there's no way you're gonna know if you got a cloned Pokemon or not, so why bother?

And I do it all the time in Emerald (When I play it that is).

Gotta love the cloning tricks.

If you knowingly use cloned pokemon, I fully expect you not to act like you're hot shit if you win.

Yes, hell yes, I loved pokemon until EV, IV and other stuff that makes the game much more complicated and tedious. Seriously, I can't stand having to get a good pokemon with good IVs and then training them with EVs, it's just so boring.

Anyone that does so would be stupid since cloned Pokemon are literally no different from those that aren't cloned. Aside from being cloned, of course.

To be fair, IVs are the only really boring part. Natures and EVs are incredibly easy to bend to your will. IVs, however, I'll give you that, they're horrible.

I've done that but then I feel bad that my pokemon are shit compared to those who actually have the time to do all that IV/EV training so I can't really play with people I know.

IMO they should make some vitamin items that raise IVs.

or something

also all this talk about IVs made me remember I still have to finish RNGing for a Xatu in Emerald ffffffffff-

Just get your friends to get random Pokemon and not IV/EV train them. Since you can have level 100 Pokemon in online battles at any time, no extensive training would be necessary. A moveset, maybe, but that's about it.

I really don't mind accepting cloned Pokemon, as long as they're 'legit'. By 'legit' I mean the movesets, IVs, EVs, and abilities etc are all legal.
