How to Use the Game Boy Advance Game Link Cable to Copy Pokémon?

There are many Game Boy Advance accessories available. One such accessory is the Game Link Cable. What many Pokmon fans have known for years is that this Game Boy Advance accessory can be used to take advantage of an exploit.
To perform this exploit you will need two hand-held Game Boy Advance consoles and one link cable. Connect the two Game Boys together with the link cable.
Next, you need to start up two copies of Pokmon Red or Blue. Have your character travel to the Pokmon Center. Once there, access the computer and go to the trading menu. Choose the Pokmon you want to copy to the other Game Boy. You will choose it as part of a trade for another Pokmon.
However, here is the trick. After the first Pokmon is sent to the other Game Boy Advance, quickly switch off the Game Boy that initiated the trade or disconnect the link cable.
The Pokmon that was supposed to be traded will be moved to the second Game Boy. However, the trade for the second Pokmon will not occur because the process was interrupted. The Pokmon you sent over will remain on your Game Boy Advance instead of being traded and will now appear in the second copy of Pokmon in the second Game Boy Advance as well.
This cheat is possible because of the design of Game Link Cable. The link cable is not able to send and receive information simultaneously. If you interrupt that flow of information at the right time, you can perform this cheat and similar cheats on other games that implement the Game Link Cable during game play.
One possible downside exists to this method, and it’s that the other Pokmon you were trading for will be deleted from both games. However, since capturing new Pokmon is rather simple, just choose a newly captured Pokmon that has had no effort put into training it for the trade for the better Pokmon you want to copy.
While the Game Link Cable accessory was certainly not designed for this purpose, this is one fun glitch you can perform with friends or show to your children.
