... But could it be possible to, by extracting DNA from amber, get a super (A clone, that is)
And if you must know, I plan to get a extinct speices of stingtail (Called the Deathstalker Stingtail) when we can do this again.
Note: Deathstalker Scorpion is the most poisonous scorpion in the world.

Rydon said it well enough, I feel. Cloning would be a Hocotatian thing, and they can't even have Supers. In fact, cloning at all might not be allowed. You never hear a single thing about it in Pikmin or Pikmin 2, and the Hocotatians apparently have pretty good tech considering that the Nova Blaster can blow stars into pieces.

This reminds me.
Say I have a Mechanical Onion. I recover a sample of DNA from a live Onion (perhaps an enemy one that I couldn't capture, so I had to destory it instead). Could I upgrade my Mechanical Onion using a project and the DNA sample, to creat a sort of biomechanical Onion? I'm not sure what advantages it would have, I just thought it would be neat...

Sounds fine. It'd just be like an upgrade, really.

Yeah, that sounds fair. |

Oh well, I could just use cross breeds...
Which the chinese did 2000 years ago to make... a modern goldfish.

?
2 different species cannot breed together. Even Monkeys and Humans, who have a 2% DNA Difference.

...
Actually, dolphins(any) can...
And I meant taking good qualitys (aka. poison) from very good ones and breeding together...

Dolphins are the same species.

I think he means two different types of dolphins. Since I haven't brushed up on my dolphin knowledge in a while (read: ever), I'll use an example of spiders. What (I think) he means is that one type of spider (figuratively), say a tarantula, could breed with, say a black widow. That example doesn't make any sense (and I'm pretty positive it doesn't hold any water) but I think that is what he was trying to get across.
If not, then iunno.

It could be like Pokemon breeding. The female determine species while the male passes on TM moves and egg moves to improve the baby's moveset.

But animal instincts prevent Snow Monkey from breeding with Jungle Monkey, etc. Come to think of it, he probably means the same type of goldfish breed to pass on good traits. However, his comment about modern goldfish makes no sense. Goldfish cannot adapt in 2000 years. It takes much longer. |

Yeah, that sounds fair. Great. I'll just get a Wildlife Ally, make mechanical versions of every single super they have, and just make a biomechanical version. That won't work. You have to calculate allies in, too. |

A biomechanical version of a Super still isn't a Super - it's a war machine.
