The boxed versions with a download code are now on the Nintendo UK store for pre-order: https://store.nintendo.co.uk/games/nintendo-3ds/pokemon-gold-version-pokemon-silver-version.list - £8.99 each + £1.99 delivery. Hopefully they will be available from Amazon or Game for a similar price, as they will usually do free delivery. I'd love for the GS ball to be done though Pokebank, that would be a great modern take on a classic event. Is it wrong i'm more excited for Gold / Silver than Ultra Sun and Moon?

@argus1963 goes to the pokemon centers in japan for us and dumps the event. Long tutorial shortened, in 2 minutes you can do this by taking a CFW 3DS with BootNTR and doing the following: Load BootNTR with 3.2 or 3.6. Open the game and get to the part of the redemption where it asks you to press A to receive it. Then open the NTR menu and go to process manager. Sift through the list until you find a process named Nijiloc. The process names can be found via the info option. Once that process is identified, choose dump, then 0x80000000 region. Wait (up to 30 seconds). And you are done. Copy the DMP file and send it to us or use the WC Dumper to dump the WCFull file. Anyone can do this for local wireless and infrared events and I encourage everyone to go out and try it if they are able to attend an in life event. As for online/nintendo zone/serial code events, we have bots that scrape and get this stuff for us.

You already mentioned the fact that it's region free. I don't know what else to tell you. I mean, who knows what other weird security and tracking feature PGL has? Maybe the no holds barred is to bait hackers into a sense of false security and ban everyone? In any case. It's a region free event, meaning it can be imported. If you didn't do anything weird with your save, it's probably safe. We can't ever be 100% sure.

@Sabresite using Pokemon bank to inject the GS ball into crystal is certainly a good way for it to work! I hope they do it like that, rather than some local trade nonsense.
