In fact, it doesn't have to be a bad clone; just any Pokémon with an unterminated name (or maybe one with the 0x15 0x00 string directly in the valid name positions) ;-
 
1. If trades are allowed and you have one Gold or Silver, one Crystal; the [[Hall of Fame SRAM glitch]] is a good alternative if you have access to any Gold/Silver (even the latest! (Korean)); no luck is required (except you may get bad battle luck while you beat the game like critical hits against you or Pokémon with bad DVs [http://wiki.pokemonspeedruns.com/index.php/Main_Page in particular for speedruns]; however you can just keep retrying the battle after whiting out), but you must clear your save file (with Up+Select+B on the title screen) and beat the Johto story without saving. Finally when it does save during Hall of Fame, the save is incomplete (it's unclear yet whether resetting just after the Hall of Fame save message completes is ideal, but it's best to do this to be safe); allowing you to have glitched box data without ever attempting the cloning glitch (however note there are some specific details about how to extract the unterminated name Pokémon once you respawn in New Bark Town provided in the article). Once you get it, there are some additional requirements in the 0x1500 arbitrary code execution article.
 
2. If trades are allowed and you have one Red or Blue, two Generation II games (one must be Crystal), you can use either a Generation I setup-based arbitrary code execution or exploit repeated item use of [[ItemDex/RB:094|9F]]. This works because using 9F lots of times corrupts the stack. If Pokémon are in the box, it can corrupt their nicknames (and if it doesn't you can use it again and again until it does). Once the nicknames are corrupted, it is important to save and reset the game or you likely won't be able to withdraw it. There may also be further complications not adequately documented regarding Pokémon movesets. If you view certain Pokémon summaries directly before withdrawing the unterminated name Pokémon, certain movesets will prevent the freeze. An example (note this may be English version specific and might not work in a certain other language) is a Hitmonchan with Mega Punch and move 3 and Counter and move 4 (it was assumed the other moves don't matter, and it might work with just Counter as move 4).
