A bear can be called a pig,
and A hack can be called many things, but it is still a hack and
should STILL not be allowed
And besides isn't cloning against all religion and morals?

How can a bear be called a pig? Not only does that analogy not make sense, but it doesn't even address this topic.
What we are trying to do here is show the "legal" hacks that are allowed since these hacks do not in anyway change a Pokemon's stat. Consider these hacks as a bicycle in your road to competitive battling; they makes things quicker to accomplish without any hassle along the way.

Cloning is perfectly fine. I don't see how it is, by all means, related to religion in anyway. (In relation to Pokemon, that is)

Ah, but how is it "a hack" if the pokemon itself is not hacked?
That's the beauty of these rules, they allow the forums to move faster to keep up with the current metagame, and keep a kind of commerce moving, while still creating a legitimate battling and trading environment for our members.

If you choose not to accept battles or trades from members who clone/fast hatch/instant egg/ect, then that's your choice, and nobody is going to stop you, however, this is what the community as a whole is allowed to do.

X3 Its funny how things can cast oh such an illusion and what not.... All I can say is rules are rules and there will (I can't say always because it doesn't happen ALL the time) most of the time be some exception. So in the end, it is what it is. X3 Plain, simple and ah bit general (what I mean/referring to).... lol
