I finally got around to checking if I was banned or not, I appear to have got lucky so far *touch wood* If its of help to anyone i've posted as much info as i can provide below: What I did / didn't do on my 3DS: All I really do on my 3DS is play Pokemon, it was always at the back of my mind to be careful not use use Homebrew or apps like SaveDataFiler with WiFi enabled, although I know I have done that by accident once or twice in the past. If I had used Homebrew or something like SaveDataFiler offline I would always load a game before going online so the Homebrew app wasn't my most recently played title. The majority of content installed on my console is from legit CIA's, I had never used FreeShop. Instead of dumping my own gamecarts and converting them to CIA's I simply installed the legit CIA's created from pre-installed games found on certain consoles. Any legit CIA's I've installed I also own a game cartridge of, which I have used to play online at some point. Their is a difference between legit CIA's and user created CIA's. If you were to remove CFW installed legit CIA's would still work as normal, where as user created CIA's, or installed content from FreeShop would not. I've had Homebrew CIA's installed and an out of region Pokemon Green that i dumped from my JPN 2DS console, I was never online when playing out of region games, although have been online and loaded homebrew apps by accident (not recently though). I also imported Pokemon from my JPN Pokemon Green though Pokebank on a PAL console, which obviously is not possible to do on a non hacked 3DS. Sending of info via SpotPass and automatic downloads had been disabled since I got the 3DS. What did i do with CFW on my 3DS? All I use my 3DS for is Pokemon, I used CFW to backup my Pokemon saves, inject my Pokemon saves from an actual GameBoy in to the VC re-releases of Pokemon Red, Blue and Yellow, along with injecting wondercards in to GEN 6 games. In addition I have used Homebrew apps / emulators installed as CIA files and form the Homebrew launcher. What have I done before going online again? As per theSlayers original post I have cleaned up and locked down my 3DS up as much as possible. The only thing i didn't do was "Use GodMode9 to clear my Activity Log" its been mentioned on other forums the local activity log is not sent to Nintendo and Nintendo is actually keeping their own logs about what you are doing online. My router is now blocking all the Nintendo hosts I previously posted except conntest.nintendowifi.net, which breaks online functionality when blocked. (That's actually a good way to verify your blocked hostnames rules are working or not) Everything on my 3DS homescreen is now legit. Anything that wasn't is deleted with the tickets cleaned up and the icon / home menu caches cleared. If i need to use the Homebrew launcher I plan to inject it in to the health and safety app when offline, use it, then return the health and safety app back to stock before going online again. I have pre-created files ready on my SD card to inject and remove from the Health and Safety app on the go. I've also deleted the Luma payload from my NAND as i figured Nintendo is more likely to look for something that could have only got there with hacks, rather than the SD card which is very easy to copy files to / from. End result: My 3DS boots to the Sysnand via the Luma 7.0.5 CFW (I will update to boot9strap in the future to use newer Luma versions) however the Sysnand doesn't have anything on that is not legit. If I get banned now it's likely i'm already flagged or Nintendo can actually detect CFW. I don't really plan on going online unless I really need to though. I'm currently working on finishing my GEN 7 living Pokedex of which I have most the Pokemon I need, it's just a case of breeding / leveling them up now.

I know @InsaneNutter already gave a great answer, but something in me still wants to break it down Physical Retail Gen 1 & 2 events can easily be not legal nor legit in any capacity in regards to VC and Gen 7, when it has: 1. event moves 2. event location (gen 2 has this) 3. impossible shininess [anyway, we got a page on PCNY Celebi] That's a form of Arbitrary Code Execution (fancy pants name that means you're effectively hacking the game methodically without extracting the save or ram, with the coding knowledge). General consensus is that it isn't legal. (I mean, we could use Glitzer Popping to get Shiny Celebi in Gen 3. Still isn't legal) At this stage, the only legal/legit Shiny Celebi would be: a. they release Pokemon Crystal + an official way to activate the event + Poketransporter sends it b. they give away a Shiny Celebi via some real life event (wonder cards or trade-for events, basically) It was discovered early on that Pokemon Sun and Moon had programmed 7 titles to use the same Gameboy Icon. 4 Existing titles is Red, Blue, Yellow and Green. Logically, the remaining 3 tiles are Gold, Silver and Crystal. I'm waiting for this. I need this. //---edit---// Also, a good reason for some, to be not too surprised with the 2 new Alola Games, because it was also discovered that there were 2 other games reserved for the Alolan symbol (or at least gen 7 symbol) <ID 32 & 33> [do note that there were 2 unused slots that had the Gen 6 pentagon, so the above news at that time didn't have completely solid standing] <ID 28 & 29>

Even though it's legit on the GB games Pokebank would likely not see it as legit, similar to the GEN 1 Event Mew's we have managed to preserve. I imagine their will be a Celebi direct trade event similar to the VC Mew at some point. Nintendo might possibly release Crystal in the future and have a WiFi event to obtain the GS Ball, or maybe even emulate the Mobile Center over WiFi, that would be pretty cool actually.

Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon has been officially revealed, slated for worldwide release 17 November 2017! Here are some various interesting facts (or potential alternative facts) about this upcoming game! 17 Nov 2016 SciresM found placeholder image for a Lycanroc forme ID that isn't used, on PGL. (may not be related) Link:https://twitter.com/SciresM/status/799420279697117184 18 Nov 2016 Eurogamer was the first to report on a rumour that allegedly came from multiple sources, stating that another game is already in production, with development running parallel to Pokemon Sun & Moon, Codenamed: Pokemon Stars, it was believed to be a third solitary title (like Crystal to Gold & Silver), that is made for the Nintendo Switch. Kotaku also confirms to have heard similar details from their own sources. 24 Jan 2017 it was discovered in Pokemon Sun and Moon that 2 placeholder slots exists for another Generation 7 Game.

What's made me curious is how the storyline will work and if Lillie would be the villain as a plot-twist but I doubt that lol. Guess we'll have to wait for the Corocoro leak and Nintendo's E3 presentation on the horizon to see more. Hopefully they don't unintentionally reveal too much that can be easily speculated on so it can be found out in the games ourselves.

Even though I played Sun first I think Lunalacrozma is more nicer, so I might just go with UM this time until further exclusives are announced. I honestly hope there are new Pokemon/formes or let alone new features, Sun/Moon were stale tbh, but that's the first paired games of a gen for ya. Also, doesn't Ash have a Rockruff in the anime that people speculated to evolve into said forme?

@theSLAYER Didn't the recent Mega stone distribution for Manectric, Tyranitar and Abomasnow happen since yesterday?

I suspect you aren't defining the pkm as an egg; Charmander learns Rock Slide via TM as well.
