The original QR code functionality refers to sharing of a habitat of a Pokemon in the Pokedex,

and there is no indication whether the QR code for Magearna merely unlocks an in-game event, or if it works as serial-code events, (except maybe offline or may require online)

If we can remove the encryption, it may be possible to see if this code is a wondercard or merely location unlock,

but I find it hard to determine, without the actual Sun and Moon itself

That was confirmed in last month's CoroCoro. Also, the Japanese website clearly mentions that the first compatible QR code for the feature will be given in July to Pokémon Ga Olé players: http://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/sun_moon/collect/160602_02.html

Also in the European PR. (http://pokemon.gamespress.com/releases/2072/brand-new-pokmon-and-details-revealed-for-pokmon-sun-and-pokmon-moon):

In Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon, there is a QR Scanner function. Trainers will be able to catch the Mythical Pokémon Magearna by scanning a special QR code which is planned to be distributed in Europe at a later date. More details for this will follow.

And no, they never use the world "catch" for distributions.

Note your wording is a little bad and got my hopes up. You said "then you can catch it in-game." which I took to mean I would be able to go find it and catch it in any ball and nickname it if wanted hopefully without a shiny lock to SR for a shiny.

Here is a quote from a official site that says you just obtain it.

"If you use the new QR Scanner function in Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon to scan in the corresponding QR Code, you'll be able to obtain the Mythical Pokémon Magearna! Magearna will be a special ally that you can put to work on your behalf in the world of Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon."

Capturing it also counts as "obtaining it", though. I can't really find any info about if you get it given to you or if you get to capture it. Just Serebii has it supposedly being in a Cherish Ball with a Wishing Ribbon but yeah, until I see other sources to back this up I'm not really going to put my faith in Serebii.

Also, those are new Pokemon Tretta cards are they not? Or something like that... wonder if any of the info on the card is relevant to what you get in-game... I certainly wouldn't mind Flash Cannon.

Yes, you will be able to catch it in-game just like in Gen 4. Here's more info about the functionality http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/discover-pokemon-using-the-qr-scanner/

When you scan the code, Magearna's habitat is registered in the Pokédex, then you can catch it. It was never mentioned that Magearna would have a ribbon or come on a special Pokeball, Serebii made that up.

This will also be the case in all regions, as the European PR confirmed (http://pokemon.gamespress.com/releases/2072/brand-new-pokmon-and-details-revealed-for-pokmon-sun-and-pokmon-moon):

In Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon, there is a QR Scanner function. Trainers will be able to catch the Mythical Pokémon Magearna by scanning a special QR code which is planned to be distributed in Europe at a later date. More details for this will follow.

5 months ahead of their release, the first Japanese Pokémon Sun and Moon event has been released.

In the new games events will work differently, as to get special Pokémon like in this case Magearna you only need to scan the QR code with the RotomDex, then you can catch it in-game.

The first QR code for Japan has been released. It also confirms that the codes will be the same for everyone in the same region (but they are region locked)

Maybe we could get some info from the QR code data, but probably it's using new encryption keys.

Passwords aren't stored. They're interpreted.

Wow, is that true? Because the passwords in this game seem to be much smaller than in previous games, I can't think how the game would expand some of those strings into full missions without having information about each password.

For example, the CoroCoro dungeon password for the japanese version is JQMJT46S while a password for 20 apples is JQQPK0R6, they are alphanumeric.

I was thinking that there could be a way to extract all the passwords for the american version of the game from the rom, right? As it doesn't look like it checks online for them.

I have a question: For events that have "Force 3 31s" option marked for IVs, it's possible to get one that has 4+ ivs or it's locked to both minimum and maximum 3 perfect ivs?

Hope you upload a hax 2.5 compatible version!

You don't; just rebuild the romfs, take the code.bin and you're done.

But that needs the full ROM, doesn't it? And there's no way to legally dump my game on 9.2+ yet, right?

Looks like we need a new version for HANS

Well, will try to analyze this.

We have two Arceus, shared by two users here. One on the PKX contribution thread and one on the .wc6 contribution thread (as a .pk6 file). The first one was not shiny and the second one is shiny. Here are the files: Non-Shiny, Shiny.

They have the following similarities:

1. They have the same SID / ID / OT / Attacks / Relearn moves, which seem are the real ones.
   
2. They have the following info in residence:
   
   
3. They both have the same memoy with non-OT (arrived via Link Trade / at Pokémon center / it felt good)
   
4. They have the same Nature (Rash)
   
5. They were both obtained in the same game (OR), same date (07/03/2015).
   
6. And finally, they have the same Hidden Power type.
   

And the differences:

1. They have a different IV distribution
   
2. The non-shiny one has the latest trainer value as Shaun while the shiny one Icarus
   
3. The non-shiny one was obtained in Chiba while the shiny one at Kyoto.
   

So, there's a possibility that the shiny one was based on the non-shiny one. However, we don't know if the original Arceus is legit or not.

What bugs me is why these two Arceus are so similar. Was the original shinified and then this one has a different PID and IVs. Also, this has Kyoto as the sub-region, while the other one has Chiba.

Interesting, an Arceus shared by other user here before (I really don't remember, I think it was the one by love_dig_it in the PKX contribution thread) has exactly the same data on there. However, it has different IVs.

So there are various possibilites:

• All of them are hacked
  
• Every event Arceus has, for some reason, these data related to residence.
  
• This Arceus was based on love_dig_it Arceus with a different PID and randomized IVs.
  

EDIT: They also have the same nature, encryption constant, and Hidden Power type

Interesting, looks like your Pokémon has been through a lot of places, DemonKlyd.

Is this normal?

To be more precise I got two, and sure, here is one of them:

Shiny Arceus Film 18 - Kyoto

You're welcome!

And what I do with MY Pokémon and MY collection only concerns me myself and I, no scamming involved, and I'm not hiding for one bit saying that. Don't be that embittered keisuke59 end of the debate.

EDIT: Yes I know that the file hosting website I just used sucks, but for some reason I could not attach my file through the PP.org attachement system in this post... sorry. I keep trying.

Wow, finally a legit one? Do you have proof, because it really seems this is the real deal.

Thank you very much!

Someone traded me a shiny Arceus, and to my knowledge everything about it looks legitimate

I uploaded it here.

This is illegal, as it has a blank SID.

Sadly, this is NOT the shiny one, this is the fairy one.

Malheureusement, ce n'EST PAS celui qui est shiny, c'est celui de type fée.

@Cali I prefere wait because I want to trade mine for nice stuff, I will contribute it after.

Hey, don't be like that! Just share it with us.

I checked my settings and it turns out it is 9.5.0-23. Is there anything I can do about this?

No.

I'm having problems with the latest version, it was blocked by 360 Total Security and then also by Windows SmartScreen.
