Didn't want to waste creating a new post just for this so:
1) What are the chances of getting banned? Most guides I've read just had me disable a setting in spotpass and friends settings, but is that enough? Can I also add friends and use spotpass normally with the disabled settings? If I WERE to get banned, would it affect any friends I've added to play games with?
2) as long as I don't cheat, is online play fairly safe? Can I still play online with friends and other players that are playing physical copies of games on unmodded systems?
3) how are Pokemon games on cfw? My girlfriend wants me to hack her 3ds and she plays the Pokemon games. Will she still be able to safely play any of the Pokemon games (online, trading, etc) between other players? Can I trade Pokemon with her using a backup copy of Pokemon to her physical copy? (Not actually cheating or hacking to get them of course)
4) with the new switch Pokemon games coming, is it safe to bet that i could trade Pokemon off a backup 3ds copy of the game, to the switch game? I've read in the past of users not being able to transfer or do other things with "hacked" Pokemon, but as long as I play the actual game without cheating or hacking should be ok, right?
5) Regarding cheating (NOT Pokemon related), would it be safe to cheat in my own personal OFFLINE games, or would that risk getting banned as well? (Mario 3d land cheats to moon jump, infinite lives, etc)
I know it's alot of questions but I figured just asking about banning in general wasn't enough to fulfill my curiosity about the subject. Lol.
