I tried redeeming a Dragonite code my brother got at Gamestop on my American copy of Alpha Sapphire, and it said "this code cannot be used on this game"
This was on my Japanese N3DS, but the game and the code were American. I tried a whole bunch of times (and yeah, I do have my EULA set to ff.ff)
When I put the game into my American old 3DS it worked just fine
In other words it doesn't just look at the region of the code vs. the region of the game. It looks at the region of the console too.
Hope this helps anyone who may have been confused about why the codes they tried weren't working.
