I think this new hack check has already been implemented...
Yeah I was about to post something similar since someone I know came across an issue with their battle spot/pgl account which may be related to this. Basically their Battle Spot account info like the amount of battles they had for this season as well as their rating was erased and I can't even find their rating (they were sitting at the mid 1800s) while checking online myself. Essentially he/she can still battle, but their rating won't appear on the actual Pokemon Global Link Website. To be honest, the only possible way to reset your rating is by using a different 3DS and the player can start anew. If Pokemon is starting to discredit player's rating like for a single powersaved mon, then it definitely concerns me. Not so sure how I feel about this since nearly a good portion of players have used a powersaved or genned Pokemon, some without knowing it. If this is the case, we might see a sharp drop of players on battle spot for a time.
Edit: I've checks some source (well twitters) from Joe (Serebii), Omega Donut (someone from Project Pokemon), and from Junichi Masuda (well mostly from him) detailing the same cause. Basically there have been reports of players who actually lose their data against others while on battle spot and Junichi highlighted this issued on twitter around August 1st they will try to "fix" this issue. I'm not so sure how their solution is going fixed this but I clearly don't want them to blanket ban people for having even one powersave mons since... lets be honest those things are literally everywhere and they know it.
