PPSEDS or PKSV already had that under control? xD
Is this common knowledge yet or is the general Pokemon community unaware of this? I'm just thinking of all the trading forums that could have their economy absolutely destroyed by members figuring out how to, basically, obtain unlimited event Pokemon.
^ Yep. Injected Wonder Cards, cloning, rebattle codes, and all that have always been accepted in the competitive community since the dawn of VGC, and rightfully so. All that was ever looked at is whether a Pokémon itself is indistinguishable from one obtained fully legally. This is why RNG manipulation was looked into for non-TAS purposes. If you can't get it within the bounds of the game without any external modifications, it won't fly in any Wi-Fi community worth mentioning. (Something caught after using the RETIRE trick, Glitzer Popping, or ACE (before transferring through Bank) presents a strange case in that while it does fit those criteria, it isn't tournament-legal for obvious reasons.)PPSEDS or PKSV already had that under control? xD

There actually is a way to get event pokemon but from my knowledge they are completely randomized! These mons ARE transferable and all you have to go is go into the wifi settings and change the dns to 164.132.044.106
The pokemon ive found so far are
The shiny sinnoh legends from 2013
A shiny metagross from a championship
The mythical unova pokemon
A flying pikachu
Two other champion pikachus
A champion Ludicolo
Reshiram/Zekrom
Champion smeargle
and an egg
They're all from Wonder Cards. There was at least one for Victini, so I can assume yes.
You mentioned that you found all the Unova mythical Pokemon. I'm wondering, does this count Victini as well? I'm having a hard time finding it so I made an account here to ask it. I got Melloeta, Genesect, and Keldeo, but Victini is the only one I'm missing.
don't forget AR codes^ Yep. Injected Wonder Cards, cloning, rebattle codes, and all that have always been accepted in the competitive community since the dawn of VGC, and rightfully so.

Howeeeeeever, most players don't care about Wi-Fi battles or VGC, again for obvious reasons. Considering how most players approach the game, and the fact this gives the chance to RNG legitimate copies of these event Pokémon in the case that someone for whatever reason can't inject a Wonder Card into their save, it's a nice thing to have around.
Still modifying what they can return, so not really. Basic rule of competitive battling on official copies is "do whatever you want, but you better leave no traces of it".
don't forget AR codes
technically not modifying pokemon generation routines if you only use a "Get <POKEMON> Mystery Gift" code
actually all these do is set the flag used to start an event or set the Mystery Gift Postman to appear in a Pokemon center, same as the Mystery Gift feature does (did?) so it's literally toching nothing but "flip a bit in a bitfield somewhere in RAM so the game rolls one". This bitfield is why you can add event-starting items (Latios event or GS ball, for example) to your Bag and not be able to trigger the event: it wasn't updated to start the event.Still modifying what they can return, so not really.

well, yeah, but still
On a larger scale, then.
