do we know keys for 3ds games that have been officially released? Maybe they could be used to narrow the range of keys to try via bruteforce?

Interesting that there's only one Mew in the party. From what I know about Gen 1 distributions they had a cart with many Mews on the save. I wonder if the rom is set so it doesn't save when reset, did anybody see what the mew traders did between trades - were they just going straight in to the next trade or did they go to the PC and get a new one? I'd be surprised if they were getting new ones each time because then they would just put 6 in at a time to save time.

Is the UK Charizard event the first Nintendo Zone event? I'm asking because I don't want to find out I missed a bunch of local events because I didn't know how easy it is to trick your 3ds into thinking it's connected to a nintendo zone (you can download the UK Charizard from anywhere with a pal 3ds just by changing the SSID of a wifi hotspot). Are events in genVI usually done by a distribution cart?

You'd have to artificially change/introduce so many aspects of the Pokémon is there really any point? You might as well hack the Pokémon into RSE with the moves/shinyness/roughIVs/etc, rather than create an elaborate "transferral" system.

I'm wondering why the checker doesn't include a check for ribbons. Take this: https://www.pokecheck.org/?pk=2362804 , for example. It has several GenIII-only ribbons despite it being obtained in GenIV, not only that it has several Battle Tower/Frontier medals despite Mew being unable to compete in it. Yet Pokécheck says it's ok. Those kind of things would be easy to look for, though I do realise my next suggestions will be a bit harder There's also "suspicious" (yellow text) things to look out for, but it's a bit harder: for example a Pokémon having the "master" rank medal in 2 or more contest categories would be suspicious - as it's hard to max out 2 stats. Indeed you can even look at the contest stats to see if it has a high stat in a category it got a master rank medal in. Contest stats are still in GenV you just can't see them. If you Pokétransfered a Feebas with max beauty and leveled it up it still evolves. Another thing to look for here would be the fact that for it to have any contest ribbon, it also needs the ribbon that's ranked below it (ie, a pokemon with a genIII master ribbon also needs hyper, super and normal of the same type. without hyper it couldn't compete in master, without super it couldn't compete in hyper, without normal it couldn't compete in super) For GenIV pokes you check for ribbons removed in GenV, which were presumably removed because they were never used. There are other ribbons still in the code that bulbapedia claim have not been made avialable, http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_Ribbons_in_the_games . They'll be hard to verify whether or not they have been made available, but stuff like "World Champion Ribbon" should at least be considered suspicious.

Was it ever confirmed whether or not the Celebi sent directly to the GBA can be shiny?

I found a problem with Truant: https://www.pokecheck.org/?p=search&vid=&bid=63-77566-38307 At turn 7 the Truant Durant uses entrainment on Volcarona to give it Truant. From then on Pokécheck says that Volcarona loafs around on every turn, which isn't what happens when you look at it on the DS. It leads to some interesting discrepencies, for example Pokécheck says that Durant was switched out, when on the DS it fainted
