So I was playing Pokémon Yellow (even though I've never played it all the way through) and even recently bought an old-school GameShark at the used video game store to get Surf on Pikachu (I feel a little guilty that I did it so early in the game). I've got a decent team with Pikachu (Lv19), Mankey (Lv15), Pidgey (Lv10), Butterfree (Lv11), Geodude (Lv17), and Paras (Lv13). I've just beat Misty and working my way through Nugget Bridge.
My ultimate goal is to catch enough of the original Pokémon (all that I can) to be able to transfer to Gold, so I can finish the set and play Gold again. Now, I'm wondering if there's a way to copy my collection of hard earned (and not so hard earned...I fully intend to get Mew with a GameShark) Pokémon to send over to Gold without giving up what's on the Yellow cartridge. I don't think the "clone" trick works with the Time Capsule, and I'm wondering if there is a way in GameShark to make clones of my existing Pokémon. Other than that, I'll have to use the old Link Cable cloning technique, but I'll have to use my old Red cartridge to make that work (as a stop-gap to get to the Gold).
Any suggestions?
