Why do you say that you aren't interested in the DS? If you mean for homebrew purposes, DS homebrew works on the 3DS.

They can't detect it, and you're free to do everything internet related, because the homebrew (or whatever) is never "on" the 3DS. It's merely running as yet another DS cartridge. It doesn't touch region locking because it's a DS cart, and the DS doesn't have region locks. Also, as long as you update it first, most…

Regarding DS homebrew: Some (but not all, be careful!) DS flashcarts can be used in the 3DS, as long as you routinely update them before the 3DS! The SuperCard DSTWO is one of the working ones, and it gets updates about a day or so after the 3DS. (Meaning you only have to wait a day before updating the 3DS)

They have enough trouble with:

I'm wondering, why do you want the XL? There are no games for it that don't work in a regular 3DS. Personally, I don't think the increase in screen size is worth the cost, but it's up to you.

Ice gym? This is gen 1. There's no ice gym, only (in order): rock, water, electric, grass, psychic, poison, fire, and ground.

As you have already remembered, the 3DS is region locked. However, DS games are not region locked, so you can play any title from the DS's massive library (that you can read) on any 3DS system.

Yes, all DS games work on the 3DS. You don't have to worry about compatibility. The DS also has one of the best libraries of all time (in my opinion), the 3DS's library has some great titles, and there are still many years of games left for the 3DS. (Assuming Nintendo doesn't pull a new, incompatible handheld out of…

As the other poster said, don't skip 999. The plot of VLR is dependent on many things from 999 (Although they don't show up until near the end, you will still be confused without that knowledge, and you can catch the other references that pop up earlier, as well. For example, the AI in control of the Nonary Game in…

Also, it depends on which log deleter you use. Only v4.0 is perfect, the others will be beaten if you hack a big enough target. And, if you don't use InterNIC as your point to delete from, you may launch another passive trace from your breaking in to delete logs. (for those that have never played: InterNIC has NO…

The teeth are near the end, so if they get surf, then there's a good chance they got the teeth. However, it's unlikely they'll get surf. Too many inputs, too few steps. Also, if you were wondering, there's no chance of someone triggering glitch city, as that requires turning off the gameboy. They could, with much…

I only ask as some hacks have extra rules. For example, when transferring money from someone else's bank to yours, you have to delete the transfer log from the victim's account as well, or they'll trace you through that.

That's odd. I've never gotten caught when I followed correct protocol for deleting logs. What hack did you get caught for, if you know?

You know that you have to delete your bounce logs, right? If you don't, then you will be traced through them. It's slower, but it will eventually find you if you don't delete the logs. (And when deleting, you have to be smart. If you delete the "Connection from 127.0.0.1" or wherever log, then, when you disconnect,…

Or, for something more easily on hand, Hold Back from the Poke Transporter Celebi. (The move's the same, it just has a different name.)

Then what was the "hulked-up" version shown near the end of the trailer, right after he was glowing the rainbow glow of a waiting final smash?

Yes. You should at least have tried it, it's a very good series. It's not for everyone, though, and text-heavy is an understatement, so if that's not your cup of tea, then that's understandable.

Yes, the DSTwo (the only flashcart capable of emulating GBA games well (there's an app for other cards, but its compatability and speed is poor)) has a built-in CPU, but it also runs in DS mode. The 3DS has a stronger processor, but - unless I'm mistaken - it throttles it to the speed of the DS's processor while in DS…

The ones traded away probably have bad IVs/Natures, and would be probably traded for shinies and/or ones with perfect natures and IVs. Also, if the Pokemon doesn't fit into their team and they play competitively, they may trade it for one that fits their team better. (Not every Pokemon is suited for every role on a…

...Or trade with their friends/GTS (This gen, even pokemon you haven't registered as "seen" can be requested/searched for), or download from the internet(torchic @ blazikenite for release is the only one I can think of for now, but there will probably be more), and there may be other methods in the future.
