Pokemon Pearl, Action Replay, and Bans

I recently purchased for my little cousin this holiday season (1) copy of "Pokemon Pearl". Now this is the game shes been asking about for what seems like forever and having recently discovered it hidden in my suitcase (What the hell is with little kids rummaging through your stuff?) shes become ecstatic and wont cease to stop talking about it.
However theres a problem.
Now if theres any "PokeyMons" fans out there please forgive me. I haven't played these games since the good ol' black and white days. The days where you could kill people by bludgeoning them over the head with the plastic brick so often referred to as a Gameboy. But apparently nintendo is up to over 400 of these things and with the addition of the new 100 or so it is now impossible to catch her favorite one.
So being the amazing cousin that I am I promptly used the awesome power of google to continue to solve all of life's problems. After about 30secs of searching (god bless google) it turns out that there are two options.
1.) Import it from a previous game - Out of the question since she had her parents sell her old gameboy stuff to get money for a DS awhile ago.
2.) Use an "action replay"
Oh what luck! I have an action replay she can use! (Dont judge me)
However the same google response turned up an article talking about how nintendo was banning people using certain action replay codes. (All pokemon, all shiny (wtf does this mean?) and pokemon with stats and abilities that they should not have)
Now the last thing I want to do is get my cousins DS banned however she is obsessed with this pokemon and refuses to give up hope, so I beg of anyone out there with knowledge of the new games...
If I spawn this one in the wild do you think nintendo will ban her DS? I'm told with the new games it records when each pokemon was caught and by whom, however couldn't it just read like she transferred it from an old game?

Also, 'shiny' is a rare 'condition' in which some of the pokemon you end up catching(very, very few) have an alternate coloring. I forget if it affects stats at all, though.
All the same, if you're concerned about it, I'm positive that someone around here has the Pokemon she wants. What is it?

I'm hearing that nintendo is banning all online play all together, so if I spawn it for her and she gets caught she will no longer be able to play mario cart with her friends from the comfort of her home.
That being said she wants a 'mewtwo'. Keep in mind if she does trade for it she still won't be getting the game till christmas and probably won't have anything worth trading for for some time.

Ill talk to her about it and if she's ok with it we'll open her present early and generate a friend code so that she can trade you. Keep in mind that she hasn't even started a file yet so she would most likely end up trading you 'trash' if your ok with that.
Ill send you a pm if she's ok with it seeing as we would have to re-wrap the game when were done since it is her christmas present.
Where'd you see that? It... sounds kind of dubious to me.

1.) She will have to trade to get it, and (If I Recall Correctly) she will most likely get a PAR'd one because I don't remember them being breedable.(Correct if wrong)
2.) If she gets a traded one, it will most likely be of a higher level, unless she gets a PAR'd one that is like level 5. If the pokemon is of a high level she will have to earn badges to get it to listen to her in battle. Each badge increases the level range of pokemon listening by 10 levels I think? with no badges it is up to lvl 10, two is up to 20. I believe. So if she gets traded a level 50 Mewtwo, it will take some time for her to be able to use it in battle.
Yeah. There is large and thriving community of Pokemon Hackers on the net. This is the first time that I've heard of Nintendo banning people. And this game came out in April.
Sounds like lies spread by anti-cheaters trying to scare gullible people. I'd pay it no mind.

Probably by the ds's mac address (if it has one)

Mine is completely legitimate, unhacked and transferred from my very own FireRed so that won't be an issue if you're truly worried and want to play on the safe side (although this scare seems a little...iffy).
It sounds like the best option is to trade online with other people and it's not that hard to find the species you want.
At least you don't have to go though an unknown dungeon to get him this time.
However if she's not I'll pm one of you.
Thanks again
not true
if you were to do so in the gts you'd be right but friend to friend is easily possible\
I actually got an eevee before finishing the second gym
I don't know if when you get Pokemon in Diamond/Pearl if it gives them your Trainer ID since you have to catch them over again in that special area and everything. If it does then creating a "wild" Mewtwo shouldn't be a problem.
And yeah, you don't need to beat the game to get traded Pokemon from another D/P user, even if that Pokemon is old-world. I've had a Shroomish/Breloom and I haven't beaten the game yet (it's funny, its number is ??? since I don't have the national dex).
I beg to differ
Hacked pokemon can be traded
My friend got a poorly hacked arceus from the gts
fucked up his entire save game
I, of all people, realize that you can use hacked pokemon on nintendo's wifi, like a blissey with seismic toss in a heal ball or something. The point is that it DID get online and that being online it's clear that the person wasn't banned from playing online - nintendo's hack sensors were not activated.
If you trade for a pokemon over nintendo wifi, you won't have to worry about getting your game cart banned from wifi play because of it.
The only risk is if nintendo becomes more strict about it later, but they have no reason to do this.
