Yes, yes, we know all too well that cloning of items and Pokemon results directly from this; but can it be used for anything else? It seems to save two versions of Pokemon reality simultaneously: one in which your Pokemon are in the PC, and another in which you have taken them into your party.

Could one complete an in-game event (although impossible, let's just say a Gym Badge), then head to the Battle Tower, have your game "saved" at the pause, and then have the Badge but not have completed the Gym? Does the glitch work in this way or have I made a mistake?

Probably not. The hidden save probably saves both the defeated trainer data and the badge count; but it might save neither of those things. It's pretty unlikely that it saves only one of those.

It's an interesting possibility, but how would you get to the battle tower straight after beating a gym?
