ORAS are 100% not regionfree, I have a EUR game and JP console and the console shows the cartridge, but it can not be launched. And I think X/Y has the same problem.
A region locked game shouldn't show the cartridge.

It's sorta a pseudo-regionlock thing.A region locked game shouldn't show the cartridge.
look again. the number after the dash actually doesn't matter at all for this, so no worries.
It's not the icon which block (else it would not appear), so they are region free.The pokemon games are region locked from cartridges because nintendo use the icon to tell the region, I've read.
The eShop version uses the titleid, which is the same in all regions I know of.
Confusion isn't just a pokemon move I guess.
I'm using a USA 3DS Xl (not new) and my cubic ninja wants to run the old exploit (regionthree). As soon as I select qr code, the game runs the old exploit and obviously just crashes. I've already removed the launcher.dat from regionthree, I've removed folders named private, scripts and mset from the sd card. Is there something lingering from regionthree that's preventing me from using regionfour properly? I'm on the latest firmware. Thanks for anyone's help.
i think you mean ninjhax, not regionthree. to uninstall ninjhax you need to clear cubicninja's savegame, which can be done by holding L+R+X+Y in cubicninja's main menu.

yeah the pokemon games are just a weird exception to how the region lock is normally implemented, afaik the icon file signifies that its region free, but something else is what blocks it from launching, haven't really looked into it, but it might just be determined by what region system update is on the cart or something
The 5 seconds did the trick

Also confirmed working with Sky3DS IF you do the following:
- Write Cubic Ninja to your Sky3DS
- Now Write your Import game (Out of region game) you want to play, right AFTER Cubic Ninja
- Plug in Sky3DS into your N3DS or 3DS and switch till you get to Cubic Ninja
- Start Cubic Ninja and scan the QR Code you made for your system
- Look at the TOP screen for the onscreen instructions, Save with "A" and Start the exploit
- Now press the blue button on your Sky3DS and wait till the led stops
- Press "START" and wait till your game boots
Tested with
- Cubic Ninja (EUR)
- Nanatsu No Taizai - The Seven Deadly Sins - Unjust Sin (JPN)
NOTE I:
- Keep in mind that Sky3DS doesn't show your out of region game icon, it just stays blank
- If you want to stop your game and press HOME, the system freezes, you can prevent this by removing the game cart and then pressing HOME
- If you already pressed HOME and your screen frooze, just remove the game cartridge and press home again.
NOTE II:
- If you want to play again, you have to recycle throu all your games again till you are back at Cubic Ninja, to prevent cycling, it's best to go out and find a cheap copy of Cubic Ninja
