(some) Event Pokemon failing legal

[mooglesoft]

I'm having a problem with some Mystery Gift Pokemon failing the legit checker. In particular, the [sPR2010] Shiny Pichu, the [sMR2010] Jirachi, and the [FAL2010] Mew that were distributed over Nintendo Wi-Fi earlier this year are failing the check.

Has anyone who downloaded them directly from Nintendo run into problems with these three? I'm wondering if it's because they were distributed after the last time legal.exe was updated (February 2010). If that's the case, is there any way to manually validate these Pokemon?

Legal.exe will report all new Event Pokemon as hacked.

There's no way to check those Pokemon for hacks yet.

Bolded: If you know they're legit, why are you scanning them?

I didn't download them myself, I received them from someone. I did some research and found that they were Mystery Gift Pokemon and was wondering if they were really genuine. Probably shouldn't have written "else" in that sentence, corrected.

Event Pokemon have to be manually added into legal.exe. Legal is mainly for checking all the hidden hexidecimal stuff and whatnot. If that checks out, and all the visual clues in the summary check out (Pokeball type, OT/ID, legal move set, etc...) check out, then draw the proper conclusion from there.

If you want to check the new events, change the Species and IDs and moves to one that passes and re-run it through.

Newer events are not in the library of IDs to check, so they are "Fake" events.
