Well, I have read a lot of things in this thread after a while I can see many things.
First of all is that if you read this, take a screenshot because it might be deleted as many times staff have been doing when they dislike a comment or opinion.
The thing about cloned pokemons was not thought by me (the old rebalancer, as someone called me above) entirely, it was a project with months of testing between players as Billy Hatake (who is now kinda crying), Master Blade, Torment Xtreme (who gives thanks to Raissa when saying that it was only old rebalancer idea), Zelricks, Hrupegpl, Pandorah, Tiagomonteiro, and WE ALL AGREED what we were doing was ok. We might have failed, that is ok, nobody is perfect and I apologize myself if you think we failed, but it's a WE. I see many guys watching their hands on the crime and claiming someone who is retired for 8 months as the only guilty.
Anyways, if you did not like my way to work cloneds, you've had plenty of time to fix it. 30 cloneds take a weekend to be balanced since you don't have to edit their spells, level of evolution, avatar. You only have to edit damage.
Secondly, I still think cloneds are ok as they are (unless they have already changed them since the last time I tested in TS). Same with expensive or rare pokemons. They're strong, when we say Rare/Expensive =/= Strong we don't mean they MUST be weak, but that they don't have to be OP.
I bet Aerodactyl is still strong as hell, but of course if you make him duel against another rock pokemon he will lose (he is half flying). Same against water or electric. And if you think Aerodactyl should never die to a grass pokemon but it does sometimes in PA, go blame Nintendo why did they make Aerodactyl Rock/Flying and not Dragon/Flying.
I don't know how it affected the general HP boost for all pokemons in duels using cloneds, since they were balanced before that idea came true.
As my last words also, I would like to say that if you compare two pokemons, you've got to compare them in same level. Cloned Charizard vs Charizard both 130, you will see how much more damage does Cloned have.
And a suggestion, if you really think cloneds are shit, then leave it in your pokemon center and take the Not-Cloned version of that pokemon to see if is it really better. Well, you will probably say I'm crazy, maybe it's crazy who is crying about cloneds being bad but assume normal ones are even worse, so, if every pokemon is a shit, don't you think it's already balanced? they're all equal.
