I used to collect. But after I lost my Diamond cartridge I dont really feel like collecting anymore.
And there is no point collecting anyways... you see your cloned pokemon all over the place.
So I only clone the pokemons which I feel arent worth being in my collection.
I have got an AR, 2nd DS and a pokemon diamond now.
Messed up my friend code by using it on the new ds... lol. Totally forgot that the FC changes when you use it on a different ds.
