I should not need to explain this one.

In 99 we had a sleepover and we'd all trade our best pokemon to one another and pulled the plug out before completion to clone the pokemon.
I have a real job now and do real business deals. Nothing I've done professionally has ever felt as official and business like as that one sleepover.
Maybe the real business deals would feel more official and business like if you could employ the pull out method with them too?
If only money transfers worked this way...
I send you money, cancel mid way, and now both of us have the money!
I've actually heard that's why overdraft fees are a thing. The money transfer system gets confused if you're around zero and ends up creating money that doesn't exist.
back in the late 00's there was (maybe still is, who knows) an online service called "gamefly" where you could rent games. At the time the DS pokemon games would allow you to plug in a pokemon GBA cart and copy the pokemon from the GBA to your DS. So I would constantly rent GBA Pokemon games in hopes of finding something good on them to copy to my DS Pokemon game. I had it all scheduled out and everything. You could also wondertrade hacked pokemon or like really good pokemon online. I don't remember exactly HOW you did it but I do remembering doing it.
