Pure curiosity question why would they want to block instacheck?

Reports are out that people have created a program very similar to Instacheck that allows you to see all the info on opposing Pokemon in online battles, so that's probably why.

It's a cheating device apparently.

I take it that this new patch blocks that program, since I couldn't get online today without it? I was confused because I thought this patch was the same as the other one, and I was re-downloading it. I'm glad that I know what it does now.

Yeah, essentially the program is useless with the 1.2 patch and you cannot go online without it.

Okay, since this is probably important to the patch my 3DS wanted a system update but my power was out so I said no to it. How can I do the system update again?

You can update your 3DS firmware at any time from the System Settings. It should be under "Other Settings."

I'm thinking of adding a Malamar to my team. Does anyone know if through breeding it can learn some Poison or Steel type moves? I want to try and compensate for its weakness to Fairy types. The only TM Poison move it can learn is Toxic...which for what i have planned will not come in handy.

Version exclusive Pokémon and items exist, so it might be preferable to have differing versions.

and can they play together off line just linking
same room?
There are wireless capabilities, yes, such as the standard trading and battling.
