Okay news is big on the cheating prevention tactic Pokemon USA is enforcing so I have a few tips to prepare your Game Pak prior to going to any J.A.A. Its not about strategy or anything like that but just some helpful advice that could save you some trouble if your game pak gets in trouble with UPS or something. HA!
Prior to going to any Journey Across America stop I strongly recommend you make sure your team is good to go if you are desperate to protect the rest of your data. Data as in other Pokemon and items. So here is my advice.
If you have Pokemon Box for Gamecube, USE IT! It will save you alot of time and is a quick way to isolate your game pak from your entire Pokemon and Items not used in the J.A.A. event. Remember to transfer items you have to attach each of them to each Pokemon. A tiring process I know and even slower if you are only using Ruby or Sapphire versions. However in case anything goes wrong with your game pak while it is in the hands of Pokemon USA, you are bound to get. So if you win and have to surrender your GBA pak for a couple of weeks you will be able to access the rest of your data from Pokemon Box to keep working on other things on your other games.
Understand that this tactic is not likely to avoid your game pak to being detected for cheating if you took out any Pokemon or items that were infected mainly because of the Save Files being more of a journal of your data than just data. That's right! Each element in your game including each of your Pokemon, Items, Key Items such as the Pokedex, Event History, Trainers you battled, how many wild Pokemon you have caught, seen, or battled. How many times you saw your Mom to restore your Pokemon. How is this possible? Well it has to be if your Game Paks to function. So yeah every element is identified by a history and your trainer ID number for your game pak.
If you don't have Pokemon Box, then I recommend transfering any imporrant items or Pokemon that are rare like Jirachi, Deoxys, Celebi or Soul Dew.
If you don't have another GBA pak from the one you are using then I guess there is nothing that can be done.
Also to help prove any innocense in your creation of your teams start a Trainer's Log to document the critical steps of raising each of your Pokemon and time document each step. This is not a verifed way to prove your game pak is innocent but I am sure it will help clear up any raised eyebrows when Pokemon USA sees any Mewtwos with a Special Attack of over 450 or something like that from Effort Value and Independant Value training you put into it! Ha ha ha! Good luck!
If anyone else wants to expand on this subject I would greatly appriciate any other advice to give to other players!
