True.
However, they can simple ban your game if they detect a Powersave. Why bother by checking Pokemon by Pokemon while they can simply ban your entire game. I am not saying delete their game, because that is personal information, doesn't belong to Nintendo/Pokemon, but at least ban your game, ban your real name (+ real info) from that event, and auto bans for the next year at any Pokemon event. Heck, even blacklist them and ban that particular game from getting Link Event Pokemon.
At least it would force cheaters from purchasing the game twice, they would have to make sure to use a clean game, and import all power saves via PokeBank.
This is just my lousy idea, but I am sure that Pokemon/Nintendo has better and more powerful ideas, the problem is that I don't think they ever implement them, they may be scared of the revenue consequences.
