Are Pokemon that you just caught through action replay event/rebattle codes legit?

[cu67]

I searched and found these codes for 4th and 5th gen to rebattle legendary Pokemon (including the event codes for Arceus, Mew, Celebi, etc...). http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20120711054951AA86ohP you can find more if you search yourself.

I know hacking two Pokemon into the game for breeding purposes creates a legit Pokemon, I used to do it and will probably CONTINUE doing this if Pokebank allows hacked Pokemon to be transferred (which I'm seeing, it does). Does this logic apply to using Action Replay device JUST to *unlock the events*, and then catch the Pokemon normally?

Legit? Depends.

If a tournament check would actually scan your full save file, then most likely not.

If you use these Pokémon on a different game card than you obtained them with, then probably yes.

But then again, we hate tournament cheaters and they're not welcome here.

Even though everyone cheats there nowadays... Hate it.

Ok I get it, so they're only legit as long as I transfer them to X/Y or another game? That somewhat makes sense to me, but I'm asking basically if hacking the ***event***** that's already wired into the game, like the Enigma Stone key item, will result in a hacked Pokemon... I'd think the Pokemon is already locked in the game naturally until you unlock it with a key item like Azure Flute or Enigma Stone.
