Would everyone just assume anyone who brought a legendary used a Powersaves?  You can change IV's, so you can even make a powersaved mon look legit by lowing a few of the IVs to 1/0 or by simply not fully EV training it.  I fully support only allowing breed-able pokemon in VGC play.

Thats the one problem GameFreak has they cant really make accusations of people cheating when they cant really prove it even thought they know out of the so many people participating in a tournament that most of the are Genned, because of this as long as the pokemon goes through the checker thing, they cant do anything they just have to let him/her go

That was kinda my point. I was responding to this quote "I'm not going blame players for powersaving not everyone has the patience to SR but until Nintendo and gamefreak solve the issue i feel people should at least be sportsmanlike enough to not take powersaved pokemon into competitive events as it just reflects badly on the community as a whole."

Particularly this bit "i feel people should at least be sportsmanlike enough to not take powersaved pokemon into competitive events as it just reflects badly on the community as a whole." Who could possibly know Guy A - sportsmanlike he SR to get his, but Guy B - he CLEARLY powersaved his. Its an on your honor system where it's particularly difficult to detect powersavers like me. So ANYONE who uses a legendary becomes suspect of powersaving. That's why I support banning ALL non-breedable pokemon from competitions.
